À qui s'adresse cet article ?
- You are adding EC monitoring to your irrigation lines because you need live nutrient data to stop drift between tanks.
- You are seeking a drop-in sensor because your current plumbing does not allow for a full rebuild to add flow-through monitoring.
Ce que nous avons découvert
- The dual-use design saves you from needing two separate probes for your reservoir and your main lines.
- We suggest sticking to the PCT-2 for Mini DIN setups, as it avoids the signal adapters required by other sensor types.
Ce que disent les utilisateurs
- Users who swapped to this inline sensor say they caught nutrient swings within minutes rather than after plants showed stress.
- Growers who placed this in their reservoir report they stopped needing to manually test samples every morning.
TrolMaster PCT-2 Inline & Reservoir EC & Temperature Sensor
The TrolMaster PCT-2 is a dual-use EC and temperature probe that monitors nutrient concentration and water temperature either inline within an existing PVC piping system or as a drop-in in a reservoir — giving you more installation flexibility than a reservoir-only probe without requiring a full replumb. It connects directly to the AMP-2 sensor board via Mini DIN terminal, feeding live EC and temperature readings to your TrolMaster controller for real-time monitoring across your irrigation or nutrient delivery system. A 3.6-meter cable provides flexible positioning in either configuration.
For setups requiring installation into standard ¾" PVC tee fittings or compatibility with the AMP-3 sensor board, we recommend the TrolMaster PCT-3.
Compatibility: TrolMaster Aqua-X (NFS-1 via AMP-2), Green-X (GCS-1 via AMP-2), and Tent-X (TCS-1 via AMP-2)

FAQs
What does the PCT-2 measure?
The PCT-2 measures electrical conductivity (EC) and water temperature — either inline within a PVC piping system or submerged in a reservoir. When connected to an AMP-2 sensor board, both readings are passed to the TrolMaster controller and displayed on the sensor board's LCD and the master controller screen simultaneously.
What is the difference between the PCT-1, PCT-2, and PCT-3?
All three probes measure EC and water temperature via Mini DIN terminal, but they differ in installation capability and sensor board support. The TrolMaster PCT-1 is a reservoir drop-in probe compatible with AMP-2 only. The PCT-2 adds inline PVC piping compatibility alongside reservoir drop-in use, also on AMP-2. The PCT-3 is a redesigned version with a reduced-diameter sleeve and threaded body for direct installation into standard ¾" PVC tee fittings, and is compatible with both AMP-2 and AMP-3 boards — making it the most versatile option for inline installations and AMP-3-based controller setups.
Which sensor boards and controllers is the PCT-2 compatible with?
The PCT-2 is compatible with the AMP-2 sensor board, used with the Aqua-X NFS-1 controller. It connects via Mini DIN terminal directly to the AMP-2 with no additional adapters. For setups using AMP-3-based controllers such as the Aqua-X NFS-2 or NFS-3, the PCT-3 is the appropriate EC/Temp probe.
Can the PCT-2 be installed inline in a PVC piping system?
Yes — the PCT-2 supports inline installation in PVC piping systems in addition to reservoir drop-in use. For installations specifically requiring a standard ¾" PVC tee fitting connection, the PCT-3 features a redesigned threaded body and reduced-diameter sleeve purpose-built for that fitting type. The PCT-2 is the practical choice when existing piping accommodates it and AMP-2 is the sensor board in use.
Why does monitoring EC and water temperature matter?
EC measures total dissolved solids in the water, giving you a direct read on nutrient concentration — too low and plants are underfed, too high and you risk nutrient burn. Water temperature affects both nutrient uptake efficiency and dissolved oxygen levels. Tracking both continuously allows you to catch and correct imbalances before they impact plant health or yield.
Should I pair the PCT-2 with a pH probe?
Yes — EC and pH together give you a complete picture of nutrient solution quality. The PCT-2 pairs directly with the PPH-2 pH sensor, both connecting to the same AMP-2 sensor board. This combination covers all three critical water quality parameters — pH, EC, and temperature — in a single monitoring setup without additional hardware.
How long is the PCT-2 cable — is it enough for most installations?
The PCT-2 includes a 3.6-meter (approximately 12-foot) cable, which is sufficient for most reservoir and inline installations where the AMP-2 sensor board is mounted nearby. For installations requiring greater separation between the probe and the sensor board, cable extension options should be considered.
