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 are the key differences between the Datalogic PBT9600 and PBT9500 models?
The PBT9600 is the newer generation PowerScan model featuring advanced Bluetooth 5.0 technology, Document Capture capabilities, color sensor technology for improved precision in challenging lighting, and Datalogic's Wireless Charging System that eliminates battery contact issues. Both models offer rugged construction and cordless scanning, but the PBT9600 provides enhanced optical performance and reduced maintenance requirements through wireless charging innovation. Contact us today to determine which model best fits your warehouse or logistics operation.
Is the Datalogic PBT9600 suitable for wet or dusty warehouse environments?
Yes, the PBT9600 features IP67 and IP65 sealing ratings, making it fully protected against water, dust, and drops in harsh industrial environments. The rugged construction is engineered to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining reliable barcode scanning performance. We offer this scanner specifically for operations requiring durability in challenging conditions.
How does the removable battery and wireless charging system work on the PBT9600?
The PBT9600 includes a removable battery that can be quickly swapped out in approximately 3 seconds, allowing for continuous 24/7 operations without downtime. The innovative Datalogic Wireless Charging System uses inductive charging to eliminate common battery contact corrosion issues, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring uninterrupted scanning efficiency. This combination of quick-swap batteries and wireless charging is ideal for high-volume warehouse environments.
What barcode types can the PBT9600 read?
The PBT9600 is a high-performance area imaging scanner capable of reading both 1D and 2D barcodes with omnidirectional reading capabilities, meaning it can scan codes regardless of orientation. The color sensor technology and advanced optics enable reliable reading from contact distance to over 1 meter, depending on barcode resolution and lighting conditions. This versatility makes it suitable for diverse warehouse and logistics applications.
What connectivity options does the PBT9600 offer?
The PBT9600 features Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology for seamless cordless communication, providing up to 100 meters of freedom without cable entanglement. The standard kit available from us includes a USB cradle (BC9620-BT) and cable (CAB-438) for flexible deployment options. It also supports RS-232, USB COM, USB HID Keyboard, and optional Ethernet interfaces for integration with various warehouse management systems.
What's included in the PBT9600 kit and what do I need to get started?
The PBT9600-SRRBK12US kit includes the PowerScan PBT9600 scanner, BC9620-BT wireless charging cradle, CAB-438 cable, power supply (8-0935), and power cord (6003-0941) — everything needed for immediate deployment.
