4. Power On: Restore power to your Hydro X controller. The DSP-2 module will be automatically detected by the system.
5. Configuration: Refer to your Hydro X controller's user manual for detailed instructions on how to program and manage the connected 240V appliance through the controller's interface. The DSP-2 acts as an extension, and all control is managed centrally by the Hydro X system.

6. Operation

The DSP-2 module operates under the command of your TrolMaster Hydro X controller. Once connected and configured, the Hydro X controller will manage the on/off cycles of the 240V appliance plugged into the DSP-2.

• Programming: All programming, scheduling, and manual control of the connected appliance are performed directly through the Hydro X controller's user interface. The DSP-2 does not have independent controls.
• Status Indicator: The DSP-2 features a small LED indicator light on its front face. This light provides visual feedback on the module's status (e.g., power on, active output). Refer to your Hydro X controller's manual for specific indicator meanings and troubleshooting based on LED behavior.

7. Maintenance

The DSP-2 module is designed for long-term reliability and requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the casing or internal components.
• Connections: Regularly inspect all RJ12 and power connections to ensure they remain secure and free from damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or electrical hazards.
• Storage: If storing the device, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DSP-2 module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Detected by Hydro X:
  • Verify the RJ12 cable is securely connected to both the DSP-2 and an active port on the Hydro X controller.
  • Try connecting the DSP-2 to a different RJ12 port on the Hydro X controller.
  • Ensure the Hydro X controller is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check the RJ12 cable for any visible damage; try a different cable if available.
• Connected Appliance Not Responding:
  • Confirm the 240V appliance is properly plugged into the DSP-2 receptacle.
  • Test the appliance by plugging it directly into a known working 240V outlet to ensure the appliance itself is functional.
  • Review the programming settings for the DSP-2 within your Hydro X controller to ensure they are correctly configured for the desired operation (e.g., schedule, manual override).
• No Power Indicator Light on DSP-2:
  • The DSP-2 receives power through the RJ12 connection from the Hydro X controller. Ensure the DSP-2 is correctly connected to the Hydro X controller.
  • Check the power supply to your Hydro X controller to ensure it is receiving power.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact TrolMaster customer support for further assistance.
