Datalogic PM9600-HP910RB Barcode Scanner Overview
ULTRA-RUGGED WITH NEW BALANCED ERGONOMICS!
The PowerScan 9600 Auto Range (AR) barcode series is designed to withstand the toughest environmental conditions of a warehouse. The PowerScan 9600 imagers have an ultra rugged center of gravity design with balanced weight to avoid any stress during daily activities. A very visible aiming system allows the precise aiming on the barcode, including codes that are either close or far away.
AUTO RANGE OPTIC TO FULFILL ANY CUSTOMER NEED
The PowerScan 9600 AR series is a top performer even on damaged barcodes or when aiming through shrink wrap, and is equipped with a very fast 1D/2D autofocus scan engine that allows the operator to move easily from a short distance of a few centimeters of a pick list up to more than 20 m / 65 ft to aim at the highest barcode of a warehouse rack, even in very challenging scanning conditions.
MOBILITY ENHANCES PRODUCTIVITY
The PowerScan 9600 AR cordless imagers further enhance operator efficiency and safety with a double option of radios: Datalogic's proprietary STAR Cordless System™ or the new Bluetooth® 5.0 variant. Accurate power management allows long lasting battery life to always guarantee more than one shift of intensive scanning.
The PowerScan 9600 family features Datalogic's Wireless Charging System. Based on inductive-charging technology, the Wireless Charging System eliminates interaction with battery contacts and pins which often get dirty, bent, or broken over time. This removes a key point of failure for devices used in industrial and retail functions
The BC9600 base/charger has a modular design and is available with multiple interface plug-ins for standard and industrial communications such as RS-232, USB, Standard Ethernet and Industrial Ethernet protocols.
What are the key differences between the Datalogic PM9600 Standard Range and High Performance models?
The PM9600 High Performance model features dual cameras with a 1280 x 1024 imager sensor, enabling longer-distance reading and finer resolution down to 2.5 mil for 1D codes and 4 mil for 2D codes. The Standard Range variant uses a single 864 x 544 camera optimized for conventional reading distances, making it ideal for close-range applications where extended range isn't required. Both models share Datalogic's Green Spot technology and white light illumination for reliable reads on damaged or dirty barcodes.
How long does the battery last on a single charge for the PM9600-HP910RB?
The PM9600-HP910RB is equipped with a 3350 mAh Lithium-Ion battery that delivers approximately 80,000 reads per charge under typical operating conditions. The battery charges to 95% capacity in 2.5 hours and reaches full charge in 3.2 hours when connected to external 12 VDC power. This removable battery design allows you to swap batteries in the field for extended operations without downtime.
What barcode formats does the Datalogic PM9600 support?
The PM9600 supports a comprehensive range of 1D and 2D barcode formats including UPC A/E, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN, GS1 DataBar variants, Data Matrix, QR Code, PDF417, and Digimarc Digital Watermarking (on HP and Document Capture models). This versatility makes it suitable for diverse warehouse, logistics, and quality control applications across multiple industries.
Is the PM9600-HP910RB durable enough for harsh warehouse environments?
Yes, the PM9600-HP910RB is built for demanding industrial conditions with an IP67/IP65 rating for dust and water sealing, and it withstands 50 drops from 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) at 20°C and 50 drops from 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) at -20°C. The scanner operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) and features 10 million trigger hits rating, making it ideal for high-volume warehouse and logistics operations.
What connectivity options are available for the PM9600-HP910RB?
The PM9600-HP910RB operates on Datalogic's STAR Cordless System 2.0, a proprietary narrow band radio system at 910 MHz that provides scalable solutions from point-to-point to point-to-multipoint applications with seamless roaming capabilities. For wired connections, the scanner supports RS-232, USB, Keyboard Wedge, and Ethernet interfaces, giving you flexibility to integrate with existing warehouse management systems and infrastructure.
Can the PM9600 capture color photographs for quality control purposes?
Yes, the PM9600 Document Capture variant includes an exclusive Datalogic feature that captures color photographs for quality control, signature confirmation, and other document imaging applications. This capability is available on the High Performance (HP) and Document Capture (DC) models, making the PM9600 a versatile solution for operations requiring both barcode scanning and visual documentation in a single handheld device.
