Datalogic PowerScan PBT9600 Barcode Scanner (PBT9600-DKHPRK10EU)

The Datalogic PowerScan PBT9600 is a rugged cordless 2D handheld imager from Datalogic's PowerScan 9600 series, built for warehouses, manufacturing and logistics. Its Bluetooth® 5.0 radio (Class 1, up to 100 m in open air) links it to a PowerScan 9600 Bluetooth base station or directly to any Bluetooth-enabled PC, tablet or mobile computer, and it charges wirelessly (inductively) in the base, so there are no charging contacts to wear out. A removable 3350 mAh battery lasts for about 80,000 reads per charge, the scanner withstands 50 drops from 2.5 m, is sealed to IP65 and IP67 and comes with a 3-year Datalogic warranty. This version, PBT9600-DKHPRK10EU, has High Performance (HP) optics – a longer reach of up to about 2.4 m, high-density codes down to 2.5 mil and Digimarc barcodes.

It has a 1.8″ OLED display and a 16-key keypad, so operators can see messages from the host and enter quantities or data right on the scanner. It is supplied as a complete USB kit with the BC9630-BT base station/charger, a 2 m USB cable and a power supply (EU power cord) – ready to connect and scan.

Key Features

• Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless technology – Class 1 radio with a range of up to 100 m in open air to the base station; pairs with a BC96x0-BT base or directly with any Bluetooth PC, tablet or mobile computer using the HID or SPP profile, with data encryption and scanner authentication.
• High Performance (HP) optics – reads 1D barcodes up to about 2.4 m away (40 mil Code 128), high-density codes down to 2.5 mil (1D) and 4 mil (2D), and Digimarc barcodes.
• 1.8″ OLED display with 16-key keypad – shows messages sent from the host and lets operators type in quantities, locations or data directly on the scanner.
• Wireless charging and long battery life – inductive charging without contacts or pins that could get dirty, bent or broken; the removable 3350 mAh Li-ion battery lasts for about 80,000 reads and charges to 95% in about 2.5 hours.
• Built for tough environments – withstands 50 drops from 2.5 m onto concrete (2.0 m at −20 °C), and the trigger is rated for 10 million pulls.
• IP65 and IP67 sealing – dust-tight and protected against water jets and temporary immersion, so the scanner can be cleaned and used in wet, dusty and outdoor areas.
• Clear good-read feedback – Datalogic 3GL™ (Three Green Lights), the Green Spot projected onto the code, a loud adjustable beeper and vibration confirm every read, even in noisy environments.
• Motionix™ motion sensing – the scanner senses when it is picked up and is instantly ready to read.
• Modular base station – the BC9600-series base/charger takes plug-in connection modules for USB and RS-232 (CM9630/CM9631) or Ethernet, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET (CM9680/CM9681); free Datalogic Aladdin configuration tool, OPOS/JavaPOS utilities and EASEOFCARE service plans.

Ideal Applications
