- You are integrating precise environment controls because your current CO2 levels drift during the day and it stalls growth.
- You are adding automated climate monitoring because you need to keep your ppm levels steady for maximum floral development.
- Keep this sensor away from moisture and avoid spraying it, as the manufacturer warns that condensate ruins the unit.
- The RJ12 connection uses a T-splitter, which makes it simple to chain into your existing Hydro-X or Tent-X network.
- Growers who swapped their manual injection for this sensor say they stopped seeing CO2 spikes that caused inconsistent growth.
- Users who added this to their Hydro-X setup report that they spend less time monitoring their atmosphere during the day.
TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO2 Sensor
Inconsistent CO2 levels can stall plant growth and diminish your harvest potential. The TrolMaster MBS-S8 CO2 Sensor is the definitive solution for growers seeking precision, providing the real-time data necessary to maintain the perfect atmosphere for explosive floral development. Without accurate monitoring, your supplemental CO2 system is simply guessing, but with the MBS-S8, you gain absolute control over your environment.
This high-performance sensor integrates seamlessly with your existing TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 Grow Tent Control or Tent-X system. By delivering continuous measurements via a reliable RJ12 connection, it allows your controller to automate CO2 injection with surgical accuracy. This ensures your plants never starve for the carbon they need to thrive, maximizing photosynthetic rates and improving overall crop quality throughout every stage of the grow cycle.

FAQs
The MBS-S8 measures the concentration of CO2 in the grow area in parts per million (ppm). These readings are sent to the controller to automatically trigger CO2 injection or exhaust, maintaining consistent levels without manual input.
Once connected via the included RJ12 cable, the sensor feeds live data to the controller. When CO2 levels drop below your target, the controller signals your CO2 device station to activate injection equipment immediately.
Mount the sensor at canopy height where plants are actively using CO2. Avoid placing it directly in front of fans, vents, or CO2 injection points, as this can lead to inaccurate or skewed ppm readings.
No, the sensor must be kept clean and dry. Avoid spraying liquids near the sensor and ensure it is not placed where condensation or irrigation runoff could come into contact with the device.
The MBS-S8 is specifically designed for the Hydro-X and Tent-X platforms. The Carbon-X system uses its own integrated architecture; please consult TrolMaster documentation for Carbon-X specific sensors.
