Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 Barcode Scanner (PM9600-AR433RBK10)

The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 is a rugged cordless 2D handheld imager from Datalogic's PowerScan 9600 series, built for warehouses, manufacturing and logistics. It communicates with its base station through the Datalogic STAR Cordless System™ – a two-way narrow-band radio with a range of up to 150 m (433 MHz) or 230 m (910 MHz) in open air – and 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, PM9600-AR433RBK10, has Auto Range (AR) optics – a fast autofocus engine that reads from contact to more than 20 m, from the hand to the top rack.

It is the model without a display – a straightforward trigger-only scanner. It uses the 433 MHz STAR radio – the version for Europe and most countries outside North America. It is supplied as a complete USB kit with the BC9630 base station/charger, a 2 m USB cable and a power supply – ready to connect and scan.

Key Features

• Datalogic STAR Cordless System™ – two-way narrow-band radio with a range of up to 150 m (433 MHz) or 230 m (910 MHz) in open air; point-to-point or multi-point with up to 16 scanners per base, and immediate confirmation that the data has reached the host.
• Auto Range (AR) optics – a fast 1D/2D autofocus engine reads from contact up to 20 m (100 mil Code 128) – a 13 mil EAN/UPC up to 3.2 m and a 10 mil Data Matrix up to 1.1 m – with a laser aimer that stays visible even in daylight.
• Simple trigger-only operation – the version without display or keypad for pure scanning tasks; models with an OLED display and 4 or 16 keys are also available.
• 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 – dual good-read LEDs, a loud adjustable beeper and vibration confirm every read, even in noisy warehouses.
• 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

• High-bay warehouses – reading labels on the top racking levels from the floor or from a forklift, up to 20 m away
• Forklifts, large warehouses and yards – cordless scanning far from the PC, with the long-range STAR radio and host messages on the display models
• Manufacturing and automotive – work-in-process tracking, parts traceability and quality control
• Warehousing and logistics – receiving, picking, cycle counting and shipping
• Loading docks, cold stores and outdoor areas – IP65/IP67 protection against dust and water
