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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"fw-bold\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003ePrecision Measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eData Aggregation\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Daisy-Chain Connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eDynamic Reading Intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eSimplified Calibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\"Feed on Demand\" Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003eAffordable Scalability \u0026amp; Free App Access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   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.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"fw-bold\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e - 12V\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Input Current\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.1A\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Content Range\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0~100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEC Range\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0~30 mS\/cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e - 32~122°F (0~50°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e - 32~122°F (0~50°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e - ≤90%RH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TrolMaster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51263718326550,"sku":"WCS-9","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/5912\/6550\/files\/img-fdb932686acb4472ab6843bdaa7cb827gp-upscaled.jpg?v=1778271918","url":"https:\/\/hydrobuilder.com\/products\/trolmaster-wcs-9-substrate-sensor-set-vwc-ec-temp","provider":"Hydrobuilder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
