Technical ConstraintsName
Description
Moisture Sensor Range
The WCSC must be able to sense the volumetric water content of the soil from 20 to 50 percent.
Outputs The WCSC must be able to output 24 V AC at 0.6A .
Display The WCSC display must provide relevant information and options to the user, and it must be readable in well or dimly lit environments.
Technical Constraints (Cont.)Name
Description
Temperature Sensor Range
The WCSC must sense temperatures from 20 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Voltage The WCSC must operate from a standard 120V wall outlet.
Type Constraint Description
Environmental Durability The device must be able to operate in harsh conditions.
Usability Customer Convenience
