Lettore di codici a barre fisso Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro 1D/2D CMOS con cavo nero

The Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro is a fixed barcode reader for 1D and 2D barcodes, featuring a CMOS sensor and wired connectivity. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the FM431 offers high motion tolerance, fast communication and an IP54 rating for protection against dust and splashes. Its compact, lightweight form factor and the same mounting dimensions as the FM430 Series make it suitable for integration into existing installations.

Advantages

The FM431 Barracuda Pro delivers high-speed scanning with improved pass rates for moving codes, making it suitable for conveyor, manufacturing and automated vending applications. Dual aiming (laser and LED) provides precise targeting while allowing a customer-safe LED option for front-facing installations. Advanced exposure control and an operating temperature range from -20 to +60 °C help maintain read reliability in bright reflections and varying weather. Fast send-and-receive communication improves responsiveness to host systems, and base mounting points enable easy installation.

How to use

Mount the FM431 Barracuda Pro using the base mounting points and connect it to the host via the supported wired interface. Position the scanner so that barcodes pass steadily through the aiming area; use laser aiming for precise alignment during setup and switch to LED aiming for customer-facing operation if preferred. Configure communication settings on the host system according to the chosen interface and verify successful reads using sample barcodes.

Recommendations

For best results on moving conveyors or robotic presentations, ensure steady, predictable motion and proper alignment of codes with the aiming pattern. Use LED aiming where laser exposure to customers is a concern and keep the scanner within its operating temperature and IP54 environmental limits.
