Who This Is For
- You are integrating supplemental CO2 because guessing injection rates leads to inconsistent plant development.
- You are connecting a dedicated sensor because relying on manual math fails to account for natural air exchange.
What We Found
- We like how the RJ12 connection eliminates the interference issues common with wireless sensor setups.
- The 16ft cable gives you enough slack to mount this at the canopy level where readings actually matter.
What Users Say
- Growers who switched from timed injection say they stopped wasting CO2 tanks during their exhaust cycles.
- Users who integrated this with a Tent-X say they finally have a hands-off way to keep the atmosphere stable.
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
What does the MBS-S8 measure?
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.
How does it integrate with the Hydro-X?
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.
Where is the best place to mount the sensor?
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.
Is the MBS-S8 water resistant?
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.
Can I use this with the Carbon-X controller?
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.
