Who This Is For
- You are adding smoke monitoring because high-intensity lighting and electronics carry constant risk in sealed rooms.
- You are integrating remote alerts because you cannot be on-site 24/7 to catch electrical failures manually.
What We Found
- We found the daisy-chain setup much cleaner than running five separate cables back to the main controller.
- We suggest mounting these near your electrical hubs since that is where the highest risk of heat failure exists.
What Users Say
- Facilities that integrated these sensors say they finally stopped worrying about light ballasts failing after hours.
- Users who moved away from standalone alarms say the phone alerts gave them the time needed to prevent a total loss.
TrolMaster MBS-SD Smoke Detector
A fire in a grow environment is a catastrophic risk that doesn't follow a schedule. The TrolMaster MBS-SD Environmental Control Smoke Detector acts as your silent guardian, monitoring for smoke 24/7 to ensure your investment stays safe from electrical failures or heat-related accidents. In a sealed room packed with high-intensity lighting and electrical equipment, early detection is the only way to prevent a total loss.
Integrating this safety sensor into your environmental control system is effortless thanks to the RJ12 plug-and-play design. Whether you are using the TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 Grow Tent Control or a larger facility system, the MBS-SD works in tandem with other sensors like the TrolMaster MBS-TH Environmental Control to provide a comprehensive safety network. With the ability to daisy-chain up to five units, you can achieve total coverage across every corner of your facility.
Compatibility: TrolMaster Hydro-X, Green-X, and Tent-X Systems

FAQs
When any connected MBS-SD detects smoke, it triggers an immediate user-alert through your TrolMaster controller's app—sent directly to your phone. This notification fires regardless of time of day, giving you early warning to investigate and respond before the situation escalates.
Up to 5 MBS-SD units can be connected to a single TrolMaster controller. If any one of the five detects smoke, the alert triggers immediately—giving you comprehensive coverage across large or multi-room grow spaces without needing separate controllers.
When connecting multiple MBS-SD units to the same controller, each sensor needs a unique address so the system can identify which unit triggered the alert. The MBS-SD has a small built-in button that lets you assign this address directly on the device during setup—no additional tools or software required.
The built-in photocell detects the ambient light level in your grow space and automatically switches the sensor between day and night operating modes. This allows the MBS-SD to function correctly across both light-on and lights-off periods without any manual adjustment from the grower.
Yes. The MBS-SD is fully compatible with all three TrolMaster environmental control platforms: the Hydro-X, Green-X, and Tent-X. It connects via the standard RJ12 interface shared across the TrolMaster sensor ecosystem.
Yes—TrolMaster recommends keeping all sensors clean and dry at all times to prevent premature failure. Do not spray any substances on or near the MBS-SD, and avoid mounting it in locations where condensation or irrigation runoff could reach the unit. The rated operating humidity is ≤90%, but direct water contact should always be avoided.
Mount the MBS-SD near the ceiling or upper wall of your grow space where smoke naturally rises and accumulates first. Avoid positioning it directly in the path of fans, air intakes, or oscillating airflow, as strong air movement can delay or disrupt smoke detection. In larger spaces, distribute multiple units evenly to ensure full coverage.
