The TrolMaster DSP-2U 240V Program Device Station is a UK Type G programmable power-control module that allows compatible TrolMaster systems to automatically switch 240V equipment according to programmed time schedules.

Designed as a multi-function timer module, the DSP-2U provides a straightforward way to bring pumps, solenoid valves and other suitable time-controlled electrical equipment into a TrolMaster automation system.

Equipment connects directly to the UK Type G socket on the DSP-2U. The station then switches power to the connected device according to the schedule configured on the compatible TrolMaster controller.

The DSP-2 platform supports loads up to 10A and operates across 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz. This UK version uses the familiar three-rectangular-pin Type G socket and plug arrangement for 230-240V installations.

Turn standard electrical equipment into a programmable device

The DSP-2U is designed for equipment that needs to operate according to time rather than an environmental measurement such as temperature, humidity or CO2.

Once the station has been connected and addressed, the compatible TrolMaster controller determines when the output should be energised. The DSP-2U then supplies mains power to the connected equipment during those programmed periods.

This makes it useful for equipment such as suitable irrigation pumps, electrically operated valves and other devices where automatic scheduled operation is required.

Suitable applications

The DSP-2U can be used with suitable 230-240V equipment provided the connected load remains within the station's electrical rating and is appropriate for switched operation.

  • Irrigation pumps within the permitted electrical load
  • Compatible mains-powered irrigation valves
  • Circulation equipment requiring timed operation
  • Suitable dosing or transfer equipment operated by schedule
  • Other compatible electrical equipment requiring programmable on/off control

The DSP-2U is an on/off power controller. It does not provide variable-speed control, variable-voltage control or proportional output.

LED status & manual override

The DSP-2 uses its LED indicator to provide immediate information about the station's operating condition.

Fast flashing green The station has not yet been addressed to the controller or communication with the controller has been lost.
Slow flashing green The station is addressed and communicating correctly, but its switched output is currently off.
Solid green The station is addressed, connected and its switched output is currently on.
Flashing red The station has detected an overload condition. Disconnect power and investigate the connected load before resetting the station.

Pressing and holding the station's button provides a manual on/off override, useful during setup, maintenance and equipment testing.

TrolMaster system compatibility

The DSP-2 Program Device Station is used across several TrolMaster control platforms, although the number of programmable outputs and available scheduling functions depend on the controller being used.

Hydro-X Compatible as a programmable timer-controlled device station.
Aqua-X Compatible for timed irrigation equipment and other suitable scheduled devices. Program Device Stations can form part of the Aqua-X control-output network.
Green-X Compatible. Green-X provides two dedicated program/timer device positions, while DSP-1/2 modules can also be used for timer-based irrigation control.

Always configure the DSP-2U according to the instructions for the specific TrolMaster controller being used, as scheduling options and device capacities vary between systems.

10A switched output

The DSP-2 platform is rated for an output current of up to 10A. The connected equipment must remain within the electrical limits of the station.

Particular care should be taken with equipment containing motors, compressors or other inductive loads because starting current can be substantially higher than the normal running current shown on the equipment rating plate.

Where a device exceeds the DSP-2U's permitted load or has a high starting current, an appropriately specified external contactor or relay arrangement may be required instead of switching the equipment directly through the station.

Plug-and-play installation

Connect the DSP-2U to the appropriate device-control connection on the compatible TrolMaster controller using the supplied RJ12 cable and T-Splitter arrangement.

Once connected, press the addressing button to allow the controller to identify and assign the Program Device Station. The equipment to be controlled can then be connected to the DSP-2U's UK Type G output socket.

After addressing, configure the required program or irrigation schedule through the connected controller. Installation and electrical loading must comply with applicable electrical regulations and the requirements of the connected equipment.

TrolMaster DSP-2U Program Device Station FAQs

What does the TrolMaster DSP-2U do?

The DSP-2U allows a compatible TrolMaster controller to automatically switch suitable mains-powered equipment on and off according to a programmed time schedule.

Is the DSP-2U the UK version?

Yes. The DSP-2U uses the UK Type G three-pin plug and socket format for UK 230-240V installations.

What is the maximum load of the DSP-2U?

TrolMaster rates the DSP-2 Program Device Station at a maximum output current of 10A. The electrical characteristics and starting current of the connected equipment must also be considered.

Can the DSP-2U control an irrigation pump?

Yes, a suitable pump can be controlled according to a programmed irrigation schedule provided its electrical load and starting characteristics remain within the DSP-2U's permitted limits.

Can the DSP-2U be used with Aqua-X?

Yes. TrolMaster lists the DSP-2 as a compatible Aqua-X Program Device Station for controlling suitable scheduled equipment.

Can the DSP-2U be used with Hydro-X?

Yes. The DSP-2 is part of the Hydro-X range of programmable device stations and can be used for equipment that needs to be controlled according to time.

Can the DSP-2U be used with Green-X?

Yes. Green-X supports DSP-1 and DSP-2 Program Device Stations for programmable timer functions, including suitable timer-based irrigation equipment.

Does the DSP-2U vary the speed of connected equipment?

No. It provides timed on/off mains switching. It does not provide variable-speed, variable-voltage or proportional control.

Can I manually switch the DSP-2U on?

Yes. Pressing and holding the button on the station provides a manual on/off override, which is useful for equipment testing and maintenance.

What does a flashing green light mean?

A fast flashing green LED indicates that the module has not been addressed or has lost communication with the controller. A slow flashing green LED indicates that it is connected and addressed but the output is currently off.

What does a solid green light mean?

A solid green LED indicates that the DSP-2U is addressed, connected to the controller and its output is currently switched on.

What does a flashing red light mean?

A flashing red LED indicates that the station has detected an overload. Disconnect the station from power and check the connected load before resetting it.

Are the RJ12 cables included?

Yes. TrolMaster supplies the DSP-2 with a 16ft RJ12 cable, a 4ft RJ12 cable and an RJ12 T-Splitter.

Can I connect equipment rated exactly at 10A?

The 10A figure is the station's maximum output-current rating. Equipment with motors or other inductive loads can draw significantly more current during startup, so the equipment's complete electrical specification should be checked rather than relying only on its normal running current.

What is the difference between a Program Device Station and an environmental Device Station?

The DSP-2U switches suitable equipment according to a programmed time schedule. Other TrolMaster device stations are designed to respond to environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity or CO2.
