TrolMaster ARS-2 Mini-Split AC IR Remote Station
Managing a mini-split AC unit manually can be a constant headache for growers, as temperature shifts between day and night require frequent adjustments to maintain the ideal environment. The TrolMaster ARS-2 AC Remote Station offers a professional solution by learning the IR signals from your existing AC remote and integrating it directly into your TrolMaster automation system. Once set up, the ARS-2 sends real-time commands to your unit based on sensor data, ensuring your environment stays within setpoints without you ever having to lift a finger.
The ARS-2 is a significant upgrade over the original ARS-1, offering the ability to learn and control temperature values across AUTO, COOL, and HEAT modes independently. This provides total seasonal flexibility, allowing the TrolMaster Green-X GCS-1 or TrolMaster Tent-X TCS-1 to manage heating in the winter and cooling in the summer through a single device. Powered directly via the RJ12 connection, it eliminates the need for extra power outlets while remaining future-proof through its built-in Micro-SD firmware update slot.
Compatibility: TrolMaster Green-X (GCS-1), Hydro-X (HCS-1/2/3), and Tent-X (TCS-1) Systems

FAQs
The ARS-2 is compatible with any IR (infrared) remote-controlled AC unit, including most mini-split systems and compatible window-type units. It works by learning the IR signals directly from your AC's existing remote.
The key upgrade in the ARS-2 is multi-mode support. While the ARS-1 was limited to a single mode, the ARS-2 can learn and control temperature values across AUTO, COOL, and HEAT modes independently.
The ARS-2 relies on photocell and temperature sensor data from the connected TrolMaster controller to determine the active period and send the corresponding IR command automatically.
No—the ARS-2 draws 12VDC power directly through the RJ12 cable connected to the TrolMaster controller, so no separate wall outlet is needed.
The ARS-2 features a built-in Micro-SD slot. When new firmware is released, simply load the file onto a Micro-SD card and insert it into the unit to update compatibility and features.
