TrolMaster TSH-1 Temp Humidity Station
Product Information
The TrolMaster TSH-1 Temp/Humidity Station is a device designed to control
temperature or humidity devices that require a 0-10vdc analog signal. It can
be used with the Hydro-X master controller. The TSH-1 allows you to set stop
points, day/night setpoints, and control the speed or opening of compatible
devices based on these settings. It features an LCD screen that displays
setpoints, current temperature/humidity levels, and the current %/speed of the
controlled device. The TSH-1 can control any device that uses a
0-10vdc signal, with an example in the instructions being the control of a
fan.
Product Usage Instructions
- Connect the TSH-1 to the Hydro-X master controller using a standard RJ12 data cable. No separate power supply is required for the TSH-1 unit.
- Mount the TSH-1 on a wall or surface using the provided bracket.
- To connect the 0-10v wires, pull the two tabs outward to release the bracket from the unit.
- Insert the two 0-10v wires into the positive and negative terminals on the top of the TSH-1. Press the small grey tab on each terminal to insert the wires, then release the grey tab to secure the wires in place.
- Verify that each wire is securely connected by gently pulling on them.
- Place the unit back on the bracket and press the two tabs back in to lock the unit in place.
- Use the LCD screen on the TSH-1 to set the desired temperature or humidity stop point.
- Set the day/night setpoints for the TSH-1 module using the Hydro-X controller. These setpoints will determine the speed or output voltage of the controlled device.
- Set the temperature/humidity setpoint within the Hydro-X settings for the TSH-1. This setpoint, along with the deadband setting, will determine the range of speed control.
- Set the full speed point, which is the combination of the user setpoint and the deadband setting. When the current temperature/humidity goes above this point, the TSH-1 will operate the fan at maximum speed.
- The TSH-1 will modulate the speed output to the fan based on the current temperature/humidity levels and the setpoints configured.
Overview
- Thank you for purchasing TrolMaster’s TSH-1 Temp/Humidity Station for use with the Hydro-X master controller. It is specifically designed to control any temperature or humidity device that requires a 0-10vdc analog signal.
- Simply select your desired temperature or humidity stop point, the setpoints for the Day / Night, and the TSH-1 will control that device’s variable speed or opening % based on the stop point and Day / Night setpoints.
- There is no need to provide power supply for the TSH-1 unit. It can be connected to the Hydro-X with our standard RJ12 data cable.
- The LCD screen of the TSH-1 will display the setpoint for temperature or humidity, and the actual current temperature or humidity level as well as the current % / speed the device is operating at.
- The TSH-1 can control any device that uses a 0-10 vdc signal. In the instructions example we will be referring to using it to control a fan.
- The TSH-1 will control the temperature or humidity by adjusting the variable speed fan or vents or other devices that accept a 0-10VDC ANALOG SIGNAL.
The vertical X coordinate is the current temperature or humidity level.
The horizontal Y coordinate represents the fan speed % / output voltage from
0-10vdc.
There are three settings within the TSH-1 module to be set by the user.
-
Stop Point: When the current measured temperature or humidity is below the stop point, the TSH-1 unit will shut off the fan by reducing the voltage output to 0.0vdc.
-
Day & Night idle speeds: (Minimum Output) When the current measured temperature or humidity increases above the stop point, but remains below the setpoint, the TSH-1 unit will operate the fan at the idle speed setting.
There are also two settings within the Hydro-x controller to be set by the user. -
Temperature/Humidity setpoint: The user will select the Day and Night setpoint within the Hydro-x settings for the TSH-1 module. The setpoint works with the Deadband setting within the Hydro-x to determine the range of speed control. The setpoint is where the TSH-1 will begin to modulate the speed of the fan being controlled.
-
Deadband: The Deadband setting is set on the Hydro-x. The difference between the set point and the full speed point is the Deadband setting. When the current measured temperature or humidity is above the setpoint selected on the Hydro-x, the fan speed will change proportionally with temperature/humidity. If the temperature/humidity increases, the TSH-1 unit will increase the fan speed by increasing the voltage output towards the 10v limit. If the temperature/humidity decrease, the TSH-1 unit will decrease the fan speed by reducing the voltage down towards to 0v limit.
-
Full speed point: The full speed point is the setting that combines the user setpoint, with the Deadband setting. In this example, if the user setpoint is 78’F and the Deadband is 4’F, the fan will operate at full speed when the temperature goes above 82’F (10v output from the TSH-1). When the current measured temperature/humidity is at or above the full speed point, the TSH-1 unit will operate the fan at maximum speed.
When the temperature/humidity goes back below the Full speed point, the TSH-1 will again start to modulate the speed output going to the fan.

After confirming your selection, the LCD screen of TSH-1 will show “Please press Addressing Key” and “Press Menu Key to change Device type” alternately
When the LCD screen show “Please press Addressing Key”, press the Addressing button on the TSH-1 unit so that the Hydro-X will assign an address such as T1/H1 to TSH-1 unit accordingly. The LCD screen of Hydro-X will display “Station T1/H1 has been added”. Please note T1/H1 may not be the actual address, it can be T2/H2 depending on the connection sequence. The first one is marked as T1/H1, the second one as T2/H2.
You can also check the address code on the Hydro-X as shown below:
To change the type of module assignment on the TSH-1, press and hold the Addressing button on the TSH-1 unit so that the Hydro-X will delete the address which assigned before accordingly. Then the TSH-1 unit will return to the Device Type Page where the user can reselect the device type. -
Settings on the TSH-1
The first settings on the TSH-1 to change are the Day and Night Min Output.The user can select any output level from 10 to 80% which will representvoltages from 1 to 8vdc output from the TSH-1. Each 1% increase will result in avoltage increase of 0.1vdc. To change settings: Press the Menu button to set the minimum idle speed(output) for Day & Night mode and the Stop At point. Press the UP or DOWNbutton, the digits will be flashing. Then use the UP or DOWN button again tochange settings. Press the ENTER button to enter the setting.
When you press Menu once, the LCD screen will display:“Day Min Output xx%”.
Day Min Output: Select the Minimum output % that you would like to operatethe fan in increments 1%.
When you press Menu twice, the LCD screen will display: “Night Min Outputxx%”.
Night Min Output: Select the Min output that you would like to operate the fanin increment of 1%.
When you press Menu a third time, the LCD screen will display:“Stop At xx%”.
Stop at : The Stop At setting is the minimum temperature or humidity that thegrowing area can get to before shutting down the fan. When the currentmeasured temperature or humidity is lower than the “Stop At” minimumtemperature or humidity, the fan will turn off automatically (voltage will drop to0.0vdc). When the current measured temperature or humidity is higher than theminimum temperature or humidity, the fan will turn on and will operate at the“Min Day or
Night output” speed. -
