TrolMaster - Soil Moisture/EC and Temp 3-in-1 Substrate Sensor Set (WCS-9)

Brand: TrolMaster

TrolMaster Substrate Sensor Set - VWC, EC and Temp (WCS-9)

The WCS-9 is a 3-in-1 substrate sensor that measures volumetric water content (VWC), electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature in both traditional soil and high-bulk EC soilless substrates. It is designed for the Aqua-X, Hydro-X, Tent-X and Green-X control systems and uses a redesigned multi-node architecture to overcome the limits of single-point sensing.

Up to four Sensor Nodes can be daisy-chained into a single Sensor Display, and the system averages readings across multiple points in the root zone to reduce errors from localized hot spots or water channeling. This gives operators trustworthy data for irrigation strategies such as Feed on Demand. Additional sensor nodes are sold separately.
