Trolmaster AC Remote Station, universal remote control for any remote controlled air conditioner (ARS-2)

Trolmaster AC Remote Station, universal remote control for air conditioners (ARS-2)

Take full control of the temperature in your grow room with the Trolmaster AC Remote Station (ARS-2). This smart device allows you to fully automate any air conditioning unit that uses an infrared (IR) remote control, such as popular mini-split systems.

When connected to TrolMaster control systems, you get a powerful tool for maintaining a stable and optimal climate for your plants such as annuals, herbs or chili peppers.

Key features

• Full climate automation: leave the temperature control to the system, which takes care of the ideal conditions 24/7.
• Universal compatibility: works with any air conditioner with IR remote control, especially mini-split and some window units.
• Compatibility with TrolMaster systems: Designed to interface seamlessly with Hydro-X, Tent-X and Green-X controllers.
• Separate settings for day and night: Set different temperature targets for light and dark phases to support the natural plant cycle.
• Multi-mode support: unlike the older model, the ARS-2 can control AUTO, COOL and HEAT modes.
• Energy Saving.
• Easy "learning" of signals: the device easily learns commands from your existing air conditioning remote control.
• Easy Plug & Play installation.
• Firmware update: Thanks to the micro-SD card slot, you can always keep your device up-to-date.

How the ARS-2 works

The principle is brilliantly simple. You connect the ARS-2 to your TrolMaster control unit using an RJ12 cable. You then use your original air conditioner controller to "teach" the ARS-2 the necessary IR codes for cooling, heating and auto mode.

You then set the desired temperatures for the day and night cycle in the main control unit. The system then sends the correct commands to the air conditioner based on data from the connected sensors (temperature, photocell) completely automatically to maintain a stable environment according to your preferences.

The difference between ARS-2 and ARS-1

The ARS-2 is a significant improvement on its predecessor. Whereas the ARS-1 only allowed you to adjust the temperature in one selected mode (for example, cooling only), the ARS-2 brings full flexibility. It can learn and independently control temperatures in all key modes: AUTO, COOL and HEAT. This gives you absolute freedom in year-round climate control.
