SkyRC Infrared Thermometer with LED Screen – 380P

The SkyRC 380P non-contact infrared thermometer is a must-have tool for RC hobbyists to track and evaluate critical temperatures. It could be used to check running temperatures of components like RC engines, motors, ESCs & LEDs to avoid overheating issues. It can also assist in the safe use of LiPo batteries and charging.

The 380P’s ultra-compact design lets you slip it in your pocket and have it handy for quick, precise temperature readings at any time. SkyRC has engineered the 380P temperature measuring with accuracy down to 0.5℃and with a measuring range from -40°C to 380°C. Furthermore the ability to set an emissivity coefficient is another feature of the 380P which aids accurate measurements; different types of materials have different emissivity values. For any particular wavelength and temperature, the amount of thermal radiation emitted depends on the emissivity of the object’s surface. For example, when viewing more reflective surfaces, with a lower emissivity, less radiation will be received by the thermometer than from a blackbody at the same temperature and so the surface will appear colder than it is unless the thermometer reading is adjusted to take into account the material surface emissivity. Here we have a table showing Emissivity Coefficients of some common Materials for RC products:

The 380P thermometer has a precise distance-to-spot ratio of 6:1, meaning it can accurately measure targets at greater distances compared to many other non-contact thermometers. A 6:1 ratio means it measures an approximately one-inch-diameter spot when it’s 6 inches from the target (about 2.5 cm at 30 cm).

Upgraded to its predecessor (ITP380), the 380P has a new VA LCD display, which can be viewed from any angle and is clear too outdoors in bright sunshine or in the dark thanks to it’s backlighting. Both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales are supported and you can switch instantly between them. There are also four measuring modes: Quick, Scan, Maximum and Minimum.
