TrolMaster ARS-1 Mini-Split AC IR Remote Station
Managing the temperature in your grow room shouldn't require constant manual intervention. While mini-split AC units are powerful climate tools, their reliance on handheld remotes often leaves a gap in automation. The TrolMaster ARS-1 AC Remote Station bridges this gap by learning the IR commands from your existing remote, allowing your climate controller to take full command of your cooling and heating cycles.
By integrating the ARS-1 with your TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 Grow Tent Control or Tent-X system, you can eliminate manual adjustments forever. Once the signal emitter is positioned and programmed, the system automatically sends commands based on your precise environmental setpoints. With a simple setup process and a Micro-SD slot for future firmware updates, the ARS-1 is the ultimate solution for professional mini-split automation.

FAQs
The ARS-1 is designed to work with any AC unit that utilizes an infrared (IR) remote. By learning the signals from your existing remote, it can control the majority of mini-split and window-style units on the market.
The ARS-1 controls a single operating mode learned from your remote. The ARS-2 is an advanced version that can manage multiple modes (Cool, Heat, Auto) and is compatible with a wider range of controllers, including the HCS series.
Programming is done directly on the ARS-1 using its LCD screen. You simply point your AC remote at the station and follow the prompts to record the on, off, and temperature signals.
The emitter should be placed with a clear line of sight to the IR receiver on your AC unit. If the unit is mounted far away, an extension cable (ECS-8) may be required.
Firmware updates are performed using the built-in Micro-SD slot. Download the latest firmware from TrolMaster, save it to a card, and insert it into the ARS-1 following the update guide instructions.
