TrolMaster WCS-1 substrate moisture sensor

TrolMaster WCS-1 is the sensor for the AQUA-X irrigation controller that measures the amount of water in the substrate of our plants.

The WCS-1 Water Content Sensor allows the grower to monitor the % of water within the growing medium.

The level of humidity / water content is displayed in real time in the WCS module itself, AQUA-X and in the mobile application.

That data is displayed in a graph (through the app) and helps the grower to visualize the drying time and to be able to make adjustments to their irrigation cycles.

Up to 8 moisture sensors can be connected to a single AQUA-X.

• User-friendly LCD screen.
• Link button with the controller.
• Real-time measurement of the water content of the substrate.

How is the TrolMaster humidity sensor connected?

1. After connecting the WCS-1 to the NFS-1 controller with the RJ12 cable, please press the address button on the WCS-1, and then the NFS-1 will assign an address to the WCS-1 automatically.
2. The number of addresses and the data of water content in the culture medium will be displayed on the screen.
3. The main interface of the NFS-1 screen will display the measured water content data.
4. If multiple moisture sensors (up to 8 units) are connected to the NFS-1 controller, the NFS-1 display will show the average value of all measurements.
5. After downloading the app, you can view the water content data and historical data (graph) on your phone.
6. You can also receive a message if the current value of culture media exceeds its highest and lowest alarm setting range.

How is the TrolMaster WCS-1 moisture probe calibrated?

• We recommend calibrating the sensor at two points.
• First plunge the probe vertically into a filled container to completely cover all 3 spikes.
• Hold down the steering button for 5 seconds to calibrate to 100%.
• Then remove the probe and dry it well and press the address button 5 times to calibrate the dry probe to 0%
