Overview
**The WCS-9 Substrate Sensor is temporarily on backorder. Orders placed now will ship in the order they are received when Mango Tech Store has received the items from the Manufacturer. **
The TrolMaster WCS-9 Substrate Sensor is the peak of the WCS series, engineered with a completely redesigned internal multi-node architecture to deliver unparalleled precision in monitoring both traditional soil and high-bulk EC soilless substrates.
Single-sensor monitoring can frequently misrepresent the root zone due to localized anomalies like "hot spots" or water channeling. The WCS-9 solves this by allowing the daisy-chaining of up to four individual Sensor Nodes directly into a single Sensor Display. By aggregating data across multiple points, the system calculates a highly accurate and trustworthy average of the root zone's Volumetric Water Content (VWC), Electrical Conductivity (EC), and Temperature.
This verified, hyper-accurate data is the crucial mechanism for TrolMaster’s advanced"Feed on Demand"irrigation strategy. WCS-9 sensor-based control replaces traditional timer-based guesswork by utilizing real-time moisture parameters to automatically trigger irrigation events, allowing cultivators to effortlessly execute precise dry-backs and sophisticated crop steering strategies.
*The WCS-9 is 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)
Features
-
Precision Measurement: Highly accurate, simultaneous readings of VWC, EC, and temperature for soil and high Bulk EC soilless substrates.
-
Data Aggregation: Calculates a reliable average across multiple sensor nodes.
-
Advanced Daisy-Chain Connectivity: "1 Sensor Display to multiple Nodes" design minimizes cable clutter. Supports up to 4 nodes.
-
Dynamic Reading Intervals: Data refreshes every 1 minute normally; every 10 seconds during "Feed on Demand." Immediate refresh possible.
-
Simplified Calibration: Requires only calibrating 100% VWC in saturated medium. Factory pre-calibrated for Rockwool.
-
"Feed on Demand" Control: Sensor-based watering (replaces timers) based on actual substrate moisture. Supports crop steering with multiple moisture set point schedules (Morning, Noon, Evening) and precise "shots" using "Max On Time" and "Dry Back time."
Affordable Scalability & Free App Access: Cost-effective to add sensor nodes. Offers free TM+Pro App access with unlimited historical data.
