POWERSCAN PM9600-AR AUTO RANGE 433 MHZ DISPLAY/TASTIERA A 16 TASTI RB

In fast-paced logistics and warehouse environments, barcode scanning must keep up with rapid movement and long distances. The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600-AR solves this by delivering reliable cordless scanning with auto-range optics, a 433 MHz radio, and a rugged design that withstands daily abuse. This scanner combines a 2D imager, graphic display, and 16-key keypad to streamline data capture and entry in one device.

Who is it for

This scanner is built for warehouse operators, distribution center staff, and manufacturing line workers who need to scan barcodes from near contact up to 15 meters away without switching devices. It suits applications requiring real-time data display and manual input, such as inventory management, order picking, and asset tracking.

Main features

• Auto Range 2D imaging engine reads 1D, 2D, postal, and Digimarc barcodes from close range up to 15 m (49 ft).
• Datalogic STAR Cordless System 2.0 with 433 MHz radio provides up to 50 m (164 ft) wireless range in open air.
• Graphic display (4 lines x 16 characters, 128 x 32 pixels) shows scan results, instructions, and system messages.
• 16-key keypad enables manual data entry and menu navigation directly on the scanner.
• Triple feedback: beeper, Datalogic 'Green Spot' visual confirmation, and vibration for noisy environments.
• IP65-rated enclosure and 2.5 m (8.2 ft) drop resistance to concrete ensure durability in tough conditions.
• Removable 3350 mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 100,000 reads per charge for full-shift operation.
• Supports point-to-point and multi-point star network configurations for flexible deployment.
