Datalogic PBT9600-HPRB Barcode Scanner Overview
ULTRA-RUGGED WITH NEW BALANCED ERGONOMICS!
The PowerScan family of bar code readers are the ultimate industrial handheld scanners designed and constructed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions. The PowerScan 9600 imagers have an ultrarugged design, an ergonomic shape with well-balanced weight to reduce operator stress during daily activities.
MOBILITY ENHANCES PRODUCTIVITY
The PowerScan PM9600 cordless model further enhances the operator efficiency and safety with Datalogic's STAR Cordless System™. Bidirectional radio communication and display allow users to receive immediate feedback avoiding any risk of mistakes. The PowerScan PBT9600 cordless model is enriched with Bluetooth® 5.0 that can be paired to any device supporting Bluetooth connections, or to the Bluetooth base station. The BC9600 base/charger has a modular design and is available with multiple interface plug-ins for standard and industrial communication, such as RS-232, USB, Standard Ethernet and Industrial Ethernet protocols.
WIRELESS CHARGING
The PowerScan 9600 scanner features Datalogic's Wireless Charging System. Based on inductive-charging technology, Datalogic's Wireless Charging System eliminates battery contacts and pins that often get dirty, bent, or broken over time - and this removes a key point of failure for devices used in industrial and retail functions.
THREE OPTIC OPTIONS TO FULFILL ANY CUSTOMER NEED
The PowerScan 9600 area imagers are available in three different optics, to satisfy any customer need. The Standard Range optic is ideal for most of the applications requiring barcode reading at intuitive distance; the High Performance optic adds the capability to decode high density barcodes together with an increased depth of field on standard 1D/2D codes; the Document Capture model is thought for Wide Angle code reading and Document Capture applications.
What barcode types can the Datalogic PBT9600 scan?
The Datalogic PBT9600 is designed to read both 1D and 2D barcodes with omnidirectional reading capabilities, allowing you to scan barcodes regardless of orientation. With its advanced area imaging technology and color sensor, the scanner can read from contact distance up to over 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), depending on barcode resolution and lighting conditions. We offer this high-performance scanner for applications requiring reliable multi-format barcode reading.
Is the Datalogic PBT9600 waterproof and rugged enough for warehouse use?
Yes, the PBT9600 features IP67 and IP65 sealing standards, providing robust protection against water, dust, and drops—making it ideal for tough warehouse and logistics environments. The ultra-rugged construction is engineered to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining scanning accuracy and reliability. Contact us today to learn how this durable scanner can enhance your warehouse operations.
How does the removable battery and wireless charging work on the PBT9600?
The PBT9600 features a quick-swap removable battery design that allows you to replace the battery in seconds, enabling continuous 24/7 operations without downtime. The innovative Datalogic Wireless Charging System uses inductive charging to eliminate common battery contact issues and reduce maintenance costs. Available from us with single or multi-slot battery charger options to support your operational needs.
What is the wireless range and connectivity of the PBT9600?
The PBT9600 is equipped with Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless technology, providing reliable connectivity whether you need 1 or 100 meters of scanning freedom without cable entanglement. The advanced power management system ensures long-lasting battery life to support more than one shift of intensive scanning operations.

How does the color sensor technology improve scanning performance?
The PBT9600's integrated color sensor technology enhances barcode scanning precision by adapting to challenging lighting conditions and variable label backgrounds. This advanced optical feature reduces read failures and improves first-pass reading rates, which directly increases operator productivity and reduces scanning errors. We offer this color sensor capability as a key advantage for demanding warehouse and logistics environments.
What makes the PBT9600 more ergonomic than other handheld barcode scanners?
The PBT9600 combines a well-balanced weight with an ergonomic handle shape and intuitive aiming system that reduces unnatural wrist movements and operator fatigue during extended use. The cordless Bluetooth design eliminates cable constraints, allowing operators to maintain proper posture and scan from optimal angles. Contact us today to discuss how this ergonomic design can improve your team's productivity and comfort.
