WCS-3

Product description

The TrolMaster WCS-3 water content sensor is specially designed to measure the moisture level (as a percentage) of the growing medium. The WCS-3 can be used with the TrolMaster Aqua-X (NFS-1), Aqua-X Plus (NFS-3), Aqua-X Pro (NFS-2), Hydro-X Pro (HCS-2) and Tent-X (TCS-1) control systems. Each WCS-3 is a 3-pin volumetric water content (VWC) sensor. To use the WCS-3, insert the 3-pin sensor into the growing medium to be measured, such as coco coir, soil or rockwool. You can connect several medium moisture sensors to a single controller. Up to 50 WCS-3 sensors can be connected to the NFS-2 and HCS-2 controllers, 20 to the NFS-3, 8 to the NFS-1 controller and 1 to the TCS-1 controller. *NOTE: only one WCS-3 can be connected to the TCS-1. Each WCS-3 has a built-in LCD screen on one side of the sensor that becomes ‘active’ and can be read when the sensor is shaken or disturbed. The screen displays the current VWC% reading directly on the sensor.
