TrolMaster Soil Moisture, EC and Temp 3-in-1 Substrate Sensor Set

Description

The TrolMaster WCS-9 Substrate Sensor is a 3-in-1 device designed
for the Aqua-X, Hydro-X, Tent-X, and Green-X Control Systems
(NFS-1, NFS-2, NFS-3, HCS-2, TCS-1, GCS-1). Represents the pinnacle
of the WCS series, engineered to deliver unparalleled precision in
monitoring both traditional soil and high-bulk EC soilless substrates.
Recognizing the inherent limitations of single-sensor monitoring—
which can frequently misrepresent the root zone due to localized
anomalies like “hot spots” or water channeling—the WCS-9 introduces
an advanced, completely redesigned internal multi-node architecture.
This innovative framework permits the daisy-chaining of up to four
individual Sensor Nodes directly into a single Sensor Display. By
aggregating data across multiple points in the growing medium, the system calculates and provides
a highly accurate and trustworthy average of the root zone’s Volumetric Water Content (VWC),
Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Temperature.
By providing hyper-accurate, verified root zone data, the WCS-9 serves as the crucial mechanism for
TrolMaster’s advanced “Feed on Demand” irrigation strategy. This sensor-based control replaces
traditional timer-based guessing by utilizing real-time moisture parameters to automatically trigger
irrigation events, allowing cultivators to execute precise dry-backs and sophisticated crop steering
strategies effortlessly.
Users can monitor the water content, temperature, and EC on their smartphone using TrolMaster’s
free TM+ Pro App. The app also allows viewing historical data graphs and receiving notifications if
sensor readings exceed customised high or low alarm settings.
