Trolmaster AC Remote Station for Mini-Split AC (ARS-2)

TrolMaster ARS-2 – Universal IR Air Conditioner Remote Station

The ARS-2 is the upgraded version of the ARS-1, designed to integrate mini-split and window AC units into your automated grow room environment. By learning your AC’s IR remote signals, it allows your TrolMaster Hydro-X, Tent-X, or Green-X system to send precise cooling, heating, and auto commands for fully automated climate control. 

Why Upgrade to the ARS-2?

• Multi-Mode Control: Unlike the ARS-1, the ARS-2 can automate Cool, Heat, and Auto modes, giving you flexible year-round climate management.
• Programmable AC Off Periods: Set your AC to remain off during idle hours to reduce energy waste and extend equipment lifespan.
• Seamless Integration: Works with Hydro-X, Tent-X, and Green-X controllers for advanced scheduling and crop steering.
• Simple Setup: Plug-and-play RJ12 powered with micro-SD slot for firmware updates.
• Compact Design: Streamlined housing and reliable IR emitter keep setup tidy and efficient.

ARS-2 vs ARS-1

How It Works

1. Connect the ARS-2 to your TrolMaster controller using the RJ12 cable.
2. Teach the ARS-2 the IR signals from your AC’s original remote (Cool, Heat, Auto).
3. Program your day/night temperature setpoints inside the controller.
4. The ARS-2 will automatically send the correct IR command to your AC, maintaining precise grow room conditions.

FAQs

Does the ARS-2 work with all AC units?
It works with most mini-split and window units that use infrared remotes. Always test compatibility with your AC remote before setup.

Can I still use my AC’s remote?
Yes – you can override manually, but the ARS-2 ensures the grow room system automates based on sensor feedback.

Is this required for every AC?
If you have multiple AC units in one room, each will need its own ARS-2 for automation.

Upgrade your climate control with the ARS-2 – more modes, more flexibility, and better integration than the ARS-1. Keep your grow room stable and efficient with automated precision.
