Trolmaster Hydro-X RJ12 Splitter Hub SPH-1

The TrolMaster Hydro-X RJ12 Splitter Hub SPH-1 is designed to simplify the installation and expand the connectivity of your Hydro-X system. Here’s an in-depth overview of the SPH-1:

Features

• Simplified Installation: Utilizes a single RJ12 cable input jack and provides eight individual RJ12 output jacks for connecting various TrolMaster sensors, adapters, and device modules.
• Clean Setup: Eliminates the need for daisy-chain Y-splitters, creating a neater and more organized installation.
• Powered Hub: Boosts the signals passing through, allowing more modules, sensors, and light adapters to be connected to the TrolMaster controllers.
• Enhanced Control: Enables control of an almost unlimited number of LED/HID lights using a single TrolMaster controller.

Package Contents

• 1 x RJ12 Splitter Hub (SPH-1): The main hub for expanding RJ12 connections.
• 1 x 12V Power Adapter: Provides power to boost the signal strength of the connected devices.
• 1 x 4 ft RJ12 Cable: For connecting the SPH-1 to the main controller.

Usage Instructions

1. Connect to Main Controller: Use the 4ft RJ12 cable to connect the SPH-1 to the main Hydro-X controller.
2. Distribute Connections: Connect your sensors, device modules, or lighting adapters to the individual RJ12 output jacks on the SPH-1.
3. Power the Hub: Plug in the 12V power adapter to the SPH-1 to boost the signals (unless using with certain lighting systems as noted below).

Special Note

• Lighting Systems Exception: If interconnecting your lighting systems back to a single LMA adapter (except for LMA-T and ThinkGrow light system), do not connect the 12V power supply to the SPH-1.

Applications

• Grow Operations: Ideal for expanding the connectivity of sensors, device modules, and lighting adapters in large grow spaces.
• Greenhouses: Suitable for managing extensive sensor networks and lighting systems.
• Commercial Use: Perfect for industrial setups requiring organized and efficient control system installations.

Installation Tips

• Central Location: Position the SPH-1 in a central location to optimize the reach of connected devices.
• Secure Connections: Ensure all RJ12 connections are securely plugged in to maintain proper communication and signal strength.
• Follow Guidelines: Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on setup and configuration.

Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues: Verify that all RJ12 connections are secure if you experience any communication problems.
• Signal Problems: Ensure the 12V power adapter is connected to boost signal strength unless the specific lighting system exception applies.
• Device Recognition: Make sure all connected devices are correctly recognized by the Hydro-X controller.

Advantages

• Scalability: Easily expand the number of connected devices without compromising signal strength.
• Organized Setup: Maintains a clean and organized installation, reducing clutter and potential points of failure.
• Enhanced Control: Increases the flexibility and capability of your Hydro-X system to manage a larger number of devices.
