Unlock professional-level nutrient management with the TrolMaster PCT-1 Reservoir EC & Temp Sensor. This high-precision probe is designed for growers who demand consistent, real-time data on their water’s Electrical Conductivity (EC) and temperature. By providing stable readings directly to your master controller, the PCT-1 ensures your fertigation strategy is always backed by accurate metrics, preventing nutrient burn and maximizing uptake.
Reliable Nutrient Tracking
The PCT-1 is the gold standard for monitoring stagnant or aerated reservoirs. Whether you are managing a single-site hydroponic setup or a multi-tank commercial facility, this sensor delivers the "eyes" your system needs to automate nutrient dosing with confidence.
  • Dual-Parameter Accuracy: Simultaneously monitors both EC levels and water temperature to provide a complete picture of your reservoir's health.
  • Broad Application: Engineered for versatility, it is equally effective in hydroponic reservoirs, large aquariums, and professional laboratory environments.
  • Built for Flexibility: The generous 3.6-meter (11.8ft) cable allows you to place the sensor deep within large tanks while keeping your controller at a convenient height.
System Integration & Compatibility
The PCT-1 utilizes a Mini DIN terminal for a secure, low-noise connection to your TrolMaster ecosystem via the AMP-2 or AMP-3 sensor boards.
  • Aqua-X Series: Compatible with NFS-1 (via AMP-2), and NFS-2 / NFS-3 (via AMP-3).
  • Tent-X & Green-X: Fully supported via the AMP-3 sensor board.
Technical Breakdown
  • Connection: Mini DIN Terminal.
  • Cable Length: 3.6 Meters.
  • Operating Environment: Performs optimally in temperatures from 32-122°F and humidity levels below 90%.
Pro Maintenance for Maximum Accuracy
  • Monthly Cleaning: Keep the sensor pins free of mineral scale and biofilm. A 10-minute soak in mild probe cleaner followed by a gentle wipe ensures your EC readings don't "drift" over time.
  • Signal Shielding: To avoid erratic data, ensure the sensor cable is not bundled tightly with high-voltage power cables (e.g., from powerful water pumps or LED ballasts).
  • Calibration Routine: Check your EC calibration every 30 days using a fresh 1.4 or 2.7 mS/cm standard solution to maintain peak precision.
Get the data you need to grow better. The TrolMaster PCT-1 is the durable, accurate, and essential choice for modern nutrient monitoring.

Monitor Nutrient Strength with Confidence for Healthier Crops

The TrolMaster PCT-1 Reservoir EC & Temperature Sensor provides accurate, real-time monitoring of your nutrient solution's electrical conductivity (EC) and temperature, giving growers the information needed to maintain the perfect feeding environment. Compatible with the Aqua-X, Aqua-X Pro, Aqua-X Plus, Tent-X and Green-X systems (via the appropriate AMP sensor board), the PCT-1 continuously monitors your reservoir so irrigation decisions can be based on live data rather than guesswork.

Maintaining the correct EC and nutrient temperature is essential for healthy root development, efficient nutrient uptake and consistent crop performance. Whether you're growing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, herbs or leafy greens, the PCT-1 helps prevent underfeeding, overfeeding and unnecessary nutrient waste, giving commercial and hobby growers greater control over every irrigation cycle. Its 3.6-metre cable provides flexible installation, making it easy to position the sensor exactly where it's needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PCT-1 continuously measures electrical conductivity (EC) and reservoir water temperature, helping growers monitor nutrient strength and solution conditions in real time.

EC indicates the concentration of dissolved nutrients in your reservoir. Monitoring EC helps ensure plants receive the correct nutrient strength, reducing the risk of overfeeding, underfeeding and nutrient deficiencies.

The PCT-1 works with:
Aqua-X (NFS-1 via AMP-2)
Aqua-X Pro (NFS-2 via AMP-3)
Aqua-X Plus (NFS-3 via AMP-3)
Tent-X
Green-X
using the appropriate TrolMaster sensor board.

Yes. The PCT-1 connects through a compatible AMP-2 or AMP-3 Sensor Board, depending on your TrolMaster controller. It cannot be connected directly to the controller.

Yes. While designed for hydroponic irrigation systems, it's also suitable for reservoirs used in aquariums, laboratories and other applications requiring accurate EC and water temperature monitoring.

The PCT-1 includes a 3.6-metre cable, providing flexibility when positioning the sensor within your nutrient reservoir.

Maintaining a stable nutrient solution temperature supports healthy root development, improves oxygen availability and encourages efficient nutrient uptake, helping produce stronger, healthier crops.

The PCT-1 is ideal for professional growers, commercial greenhouses and serious hobby growers looking to automate nutrient monitoring and maintain consistent irrigation performance throughout the growing cycle.
