ARS-2

Product description

The ARS-2 is a control station for infrared-controlled air conditioners, designed to work with TrolMaster Hydro-X, Tent-X and Green-X systems (models HCS-2, HCS-3, TCS-1 and GCS-1). It acts as a universal remote control for mini-split air conditioners and other IR-controlled units, learning the signals directly from the original remote control. The ARS-2 lets you set two separate setpoints for day and night, and automatically adjusts the operation of the air conditioner according to the sensors and parameters defined in the controller.

A direct evolution of the ARS-1, the ARS-2 offers extended capability: it can learn and send temperature commands in AUTO, COOL and HEAT modes. This makes it possible to manage a wider range of temperature settings suited to environmental requirements. Once the device is connected to a compatible controller, the ARS-2 automatically transmits the desired setpoints, taking into account the status of the photocell and the temperature sensor. The system then sends the appropriate infrared signals to the air conditioner to maintain the active day/night setpoints.

The ARS-2 also lets you define a fully deactivated period. By setting the temperature of one of the periods (day or night) strategically, the air conditioner can remain off during that period, providing flexible, automated management perfectly suited to the desired operating cycles.
