TrolMaster AS-5 Alarm Station. 85 dB Siren + Red Strobe for Hydro-X and Carbon-X

What the TrolMaster AS-5 Alarm Station Does The AS-5 is an audible and visual alarm for TrolMaster climate and CO2 systems. It plugs straight into a Hydro-X Pro (HCS-2) or a Hydro-X Plus (HCS-3), and the Aqua-X Pro (NFS-2) accepts it too. On a Carbon-X CO2 system it is powered by the DSD-1 Dry Contact Station. There it links to the CDA-1 and follows the AL-1 or AL-2 CO2 sensor channel, or both channels for full redundancy. When the controller trips an alarm, the siren sounds at 85 dB and a red strobe flashes 120 times a minute. Power arrives through a DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm male connector at 12 or 24 V DC, and the draw is 60 mA. The housing measures 82 by 82 by 51 mm, about 3.2 by 3.2 by 2 in, and weighs 3 oz. It is rated for 32 to 122 °F at humidity of 90 percent or less. The distributor part number is TRCAS5, and TrolMaster backs it with a three year warranty. The box holds the alarm station alone. Placing a Grow Room Alarm Where It Gets Noticed A grow room alarm only helps if a person sees or hears it in time to act. Inside a flowering room, fans and dehumidifiers can bury a siren, and a closed door muffles it further. Many growers mount the station in the hallway or at the room entrance for that reason. Anyone walking past then sees the strobe before opening the door. In a CO2 enrichment room, the strobe tells staff to wait before walking in. Wiring it to both CO2 sensor channels gives a second path if one sensor fails. Pick a spot at eye height with a clear line of sight from the corridor. Keep it away from irrigation lines, hose bibs and the spray of a cleaning wand. Test it after every controller change by pushing a setpoint briefly out of range. Then set the limits back and note the test in the room log. Teach every person on the team what the red light means and who to call. The station signals a problem and leaves the fix to the controller and the crew. Power and the alarm signal come from the controller or the DSD-1, so plan that run before mounting.
