v.
Relay Status
– an indicator showing the state of the relay (Open or Closed)
b.
Cloud Sensor Data
– this section contains information about cloud temperature. Based
on the difference between the ambient temperature and the sky temperature, your Sky
Master Pro determines whether there is cloud cover.
i.
IR Amb Temp
– the infrared temperature of the ambient air around your outdoor
unit. The temperature is reported in °C and °F.
ii.
IR Sky Temp
– the infrared temperature of the sky above the outdoor unit. The
temperature is reported in °C and °F.
iii.
Temp Diff
– the difference between the ambient and sky temperatures. The
temperature difference is reported in °C and °F.
iv.
Clouds Setpoint
– the current setpoint (e.g. temperature differential) which
determines that it’s cloudy out. The “Set” button allows you to reset the Sky
Master Pro’s current Cloud Setpoint.
v.
Clear Setpoint
– the current setpoint (e.g. temperature differential) which
determines that it’s clear out. The “Set” button allows you to reset the Sky Master
Pro’s current Clear Setpoint.
vi.

c.
Wind Speed, Barometer and Rain Sensor Data
– this section contains information
about wind, barometric pressure, humidity and rain.
i.
Pressure (Hg)
– the current barometric pressure as reported in inches of mercury.
ii.
Wind Speed
– the current wind speed as reported in miles per hour. If you do not
have a wind speed indicator, this will show 0.0.
iii.
Wind_Dir (deg)
– the current wind direction as reported in degrees from 0 to 360
degrees with a resolution of 22 degrees reporting upto 16 different wind angles.
For example, if the wind were coming from due West, the Sky Master Pro would
report 270. See the below diagram for wind degrees:
