    3. HOUSING The enclosure is made from light grey ABS (UV stabilised). Two grey nylon cable glands are fitted for cable entry. It is considered to be protected from ingress to IP65. On no account should it be subjected to immersion. Dimensions of the amplifier unit are approx.: 80mm x 58mm x 121mm (DxHxW), this includes the cable glands and feet.
  • Page 9: Specifications

    Requirements NOTES ON SPECIFICATIONS (1) All Skye sensors will work at levels of irradiance well above that found in terrestrial sunlight conditions, room or growth chamber lighting. These are default working ranges, check individual calibration certificate. (2) Maximum change in one year. Calibration check recommended at least every two years. Experience has shown that changes are typically much less than figures quoted.
