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.
What barcode types does the Datalogic PM9600-SR910RBK20 scanner read?
The PM9600 Standard Range variant reads both low-density 1D and 2D barcodes within conventional reading ranges. It supports all standard linear codes including GS1 DataBar formats, as well as 2D codes such as Data Matrix, QR Code, and PDF417. The scanner's autodiscrimination capability means it automatically detects and decodes the appropriate barcode format without manual configuration.
Is the PM9600-SR910RBK20 wireless, and what is its communication range?
Yes, this model operates on the Datalogic STAR 2.0 cordless system at 910 MHz frequency with an open-air radio range of up to 100 meters (328 feet) at low speed, supporting seamless roaming and two-way communications. The kit includes the BC9630-910 cradle and all necessary cables for RS-232 connectivity. We offer this complete kit with power supply and cord, ready for immediate deployment in your warehouse or logistics operation.
What makes the PM9600 different from Datalogic's other scanner models?
The PM9600 Series offers three distinct performance levels depending on your application: the Standard Range variant with single camera for conventional distances, a High Performance model with dual cameras for extended-distance reading, and an exclusive Document Capture methodology for color photographs used in quality control or signature confirmation. All PM9600 models feature Datalogic's mild white light illumination and Green Spot technology for reliable reads on damaged or dirty barcodes at an affordable price point.
How durable is the PM9600-SR910RBK20 in warehouse environments?
The PM9600 is built for demanding warehouse conditions with IP65 particulate and water sealing, immunity to ambient light in offices and direct sunlight, and the ability to withstand 50 drops from 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) to concrete. It operates reliably across temperatures from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) and maintains functionality in humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing, making it suitable for most logistics and inventory management environments.
What battery life and charging options does this scanner provide?
The PM9600 is equipped with a Lithium-Ion 2150 mAh battery capable of 50,000+ continuous reads per charge. It offers flexible charging with external power (10-30 VDC) completing a full charge in 4 hours, or host power (5 VDC) charging in 10 hours. The included cradle features indicator LEDs showing battery charging status (red), completion (green), and power/data activity (yellow) for easy monitoring.
