The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 DPX is the cordless direct part marking (DPM) model of Datalogic's rugged PowerScan 9600 series, built for traceability in manufacturing. It reads codes marked directly on metal and plastic parts as well as printed 1D and 2D labels, communicates with its base station through the Datalogic STAR Cordless System™ – a two-way 433 MHz narrow-band radio with a range of up to 150 m 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 more than 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-DDPX433RB, has DPX direct part marking (DPM) optics – white, red and blue illumination for laser-etched, dot-peened, inkjet-printed and electrochemically etched marks on metal and plastic parts.
It has a 1.8″ OLED display and 4 configurable keys, so operators can see messages from the host and confirm tasks right on the scanner. It uses the 433 MHz STAR radio – the version for Europe and most countries outside North America. It is supplied as the scanner with battery only – the base station, interface cable and power supply are not included.
📦 What's in the box – PM9600-DDPX433RB
- ✅ Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 DPX scanner – Direct Part Marking (DPX), display + 4 keys, 433 MHz STAR, black
- ✅ Rechargeable battery – Li-ion, 3350 mAh, removable (RBP-PM96) – charges wirelessly in the base
- ❌ Base station/charger – NOT included – required to charge the scanner and connect it to your PC or host
- ❌ Interface cable – NOT included – needed to connect the base station to your PC or host
- ❌ Power supply – NOT included – recommended for fast charging (8-0935 + power cord)
- ❌ Stand / holder – not included
⚠️ This is the scanner only: to charge it and connect it to your PC or host you also need a 433 MHz PowerScan 9600 base station (e.g. the Datalogic BC9630-433 base station), an interface cable such as the USB cable CAB-552 or RS-232 cable CAB-548, and the power supply 8-0935 with a power cord. Or simply choose the ready-to-use kit PM9600-DDPX433RK10.
💡 The base doubles as the charging cradle. For a belt holster, a desk/wall holder, a hands-free stand or a spare battery for multi-shift work, add the PC-P096 holster, HLD-P096 holder, STD-P096 stand or a spare RBP-PM96 battery.
Key Features
- DPX direct part marking optics – white, red and blue illumination and Datalogic's 4D learning system automatically adapt capture and decoding to read laser-etched, dot-peened, inkjet-printed and electrochemically etched marks, as well as 2 mil 1D and 4 mil 2D codes.
- 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.
- 1.8″ OLED display with 4 keys – shows messages and instructions sent from the host, and the configurable keys let operators confirm or select tasks without going back to the PC.
- 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.
- 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
- Direct part marking – laser-etched, dot-peened and inkjet-printed codes on metal and plastic parts in automotive, aerospace and electronics
- Manufacturing shop floor – work-in-progress, sub-assembly, component tracking, quality control and line inventory control
- Large production halls and assembly lines – cordless reading of part marks anywhere along the line, up to 150 m from the base, with messages from the host on the scanner's display
- Warehousing and logistics – receiving, picking, cycle counting and shipping
- Loading docks, cold stores and outdoor areas – IP65/IP67 protection against dust and water

How to read the part numbers: DDPX stands for the DPX direct part marking optics with a display and 4 keys; 433 is the radio frequency (433 MHz STAR, for Europe and most countries outside North America – 910 MHz versions for North America are available on request); R/RB means the removable battery is included. Versions ending in K10 are USB kits and versions ending in K20 RS-232 kits with the BC9630 base station and a power supply, K30 is the Ethernet kit with the BC9680 base station and a power supply, and the version without a K suffix is the scanner only.
