The TrolMaster WCS-3 Water Content Sensor is designed to accurately measure the moisture level (in percentage) of the growing medium. This three-prong sensor inserts directly into substrates such as coco, soil, or rockwool, providing accurate volumetric water content (VWC) readings.
Compatibility:
- Aqua-X (NFS-1): Up to 8 WCS-3 sensors.
- Aqua-X Plus (NFS-3): Up to 20 WCS-3 sensors.
- Aqua-X Pro (NFS-2): Up to 50 WCS-3 sensors.
- Hydro-X Pro (HCS-2): Up to 50 WCS-3 sensors.
- Tent-X (TCS-1): Single WCS-3 sensor.
Highlighted Features:
- Built-in LCD Display: It is activated by moving or touching the sensor, displaying the current VWC percentage directly on the device.
- Ultra-slim design: Makes it easy to insert into various growing media without causing significant disturbance.
- Daisy-chain connection: Allows multiple sensors to be connected to a single controller, making it easy to expand and monitor large growing areas.
Technical specifications:
- Input voltage: 12V DC.
- Input current: 100-200 mA.
- Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C.
- Relative humidity: ≤90%.
- Package dimensions: 170 mm (L) x 90 mm (W) x 1 54mm (H).
Package Contents:
- 1x WCS-3 Water Content Sensor.
- 1x M12 T-Connector.
