Trolmaster AC Remote Station, universal remote controller for any remotely controlled air conditioner (ARS-2)
Code: N51620Product detailed description
Trolmaster AC Remote Station, universal remote controller for air conditioners (ARS-2)
Take full control of the temperature in your growing space with the Trolmaster AC Remote Station (ARS-2) remote controller. This intelligent device allows you to fully automate any air conditioning unit that uses infrared (IR) remote control, such as popular mini-split systems.
Once connected to TrolMaster control systems, you gain a powerful tool for maintaining a stable and optimal climate for your plants, such as annuals, herbs or chilli peppers.
Key features
- Full air conditioning automation: Leave temperature control to a system that takes care of 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 for seamless connection with Hydro-X, Tent-X and Green-X control units.
- Separate day and night settings: Set different temperature targets for the light and dark phases and support the natural cycle of plants.
- Support for multiple modes: Unlike the older model, ARS-2 can control AUTO, Cooling (COOL) and Heating (HEAT) modes.
- Energy saving: The option to programme the air conditioner so that it is completely switched off during one of the cycles (day/night), which saves energy and extends the life of the device.
- Simple signal "learning": The device easily learns commands from your existing air conditioner remote control.
- Easy Plug & Play installation: It does not need external power, just connect it to the main unit using an RJ12 cable.
- Firmware updates: Thanks to the micro-SD card slot, you can keep the device always up to date.
How ARS-2 works
The principle is brilliantly simple. Connect the ARS-2 station to your TrolMaster control unit using an RJ12 cable. Then use the original remote control of your air conditioner to "teach" the ARS-2 the necessary IR codes for cooling, heating and automatic mode.
Next, set the desired temperatures for the day and night cycles in the main control unit. The system then, based on data from connected sensors (temperature, photodiode), automatically sends the air conditioner the correct commands to maintain a stable environment according to your preferences.
Difference between ARS-2 and ARS-1
ARS-2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor. While the ARS-1 model allowed you to set the temperature only in one selected mode (for example, cooling only), ARS-2 brings full flexibility. It can learn and independently control temperatures in all key modes: AUTO, COOL (cooling) and HEAT (heating). This gives you absolute freedom in year-round climate control.
