Trolmaster Aqua-X Inline EC/Temp Sensor (PCT-2)

The TrolMaster PCT-2 Inline EC/Temp Sensor provides accurate real-time monitoring of electrical conductivity (EC) and water temperature within hydroponic irrigation systems. Maintaining stable nutrient strength and solution temperature is critical for healthy root development and efficient nutrient uptake. The PCT-2 allows growers to track these parameters continuously, helping ensure plants receive the correct nutrient balance throughout vegetative growth and the flowering stage.

Designed specifically for the Aqua-X irrigation control system, the PCT-2 connects to the controller through the AMP-2 sensor board. The probe can be installed inline within irrigation pipework or placed directly in a reservoir, allowing growers to monitor nutrient solution conditions exactly where they matter most. Real-time readings are displayed on the Aqua-X controller, giving growers immediate insight into nutrient strength and water temperature.

This level of monitoring helps growers maintain stable hydroponic systems, improving plant health and supporting higher yields in indoor growing environments.

Key Benefits

• Accurate monitoring of EC (nutrient strength) and water temperature
• Designed for use with the TrolMaster Aqua-X irrigation control system
• Suitable for inline installation in irrigation pipework or reservoir placement
• Commercial-grade probe for reliable performance
• Real-time readings displayed on the Aqua-X controller
• Helps maintain stable nutrient conditions for hydroponic systems
• Supports improved nutrient uptake and root development

How It Solves Grow Problems

In hydroponic systems, incorrect nutrient strength or unstable water temperature can quickly affect plant health. High EC levels can cause nutrient burn, while low EC levels may lead to nutrient deficiencies and slow plant growth.

The PCT-2 provides continuous monitoring of nutrient solution strength and temperature, allowing growers to identify problems before they impact plant health. By checking runoff EC or reservoir conditions, growers can fine-tune nutrient levels to match plant demand.

Maintaining stable EC levels and water temperature helps support consistent nutrient uptake, strong root development and healthier plants throughout the grow cycle, resulting in improved yields and better flowering performance.

How to Use

1. Connect the PCT-2 probe to the AMP-2 sensor board.

2. Connect the AMP-2 board to the Aqua-X irrigation controller using the RJ12 cable.

3. Install the probe inline within irrigation pipework or place it in the nutrient reservoir.

4. Ensure the probe remains properly submerged in the nutrient solution during operation.

5. Monitor EC and temperature readings directly on the Aqua-X controller or through the TM+ mobile app.

6. Clean and calibrate the probe periodically to maintain accurate readings.
