Frequently Asked Questions
What barcode symbologies does the Honeywell CV-1200G-1D scanner read?
The Honeywell CV-1200G-1D reads standard 1D and GS1 DataBar symbologies, including PDF417 and 2D codes. It excels at decoding difficult-to-read barcodes—whether poorly printed, smudged, or faded—and handles high-density barcodes with resolution down to 3.5 mil, eliminating the need for specialty scanners. We offer this model as part of our complete AIDC solutions for warehouse and logistics operations.
What types of barcodes can the Honeywell Voyager XP 1472g scan?
The Voyager XP 1472g is a 2D scanning solution capable of reading both traditional 1D barcodes and 2D codes, including those on digital screens. It's engineered to decode even damaged and difficult-to-read codes with industry-leading accuracy, making it ideal for retail environments where barcode quality varies.
What are the differences between the AMT58, AST58, and ENC58 encoders?
The AMT58 is designed for multi-turn applications on standard industrial lines, providing absolute position data across multiple revolutions. The AST58 is optimized for single-turn standard industrial lines, also offering absolute positioning within one rotation. The ENC58 is an incremental encoder built for easy motion control, generating a number of pulses per revolution rather than absolute position codes. Each model serves different automation requirements depending on whether you need multi-turn tracking, single-turn precision, or incremental pulse-based control.
Is the Honeywell 1472g cordless and how does it connect?
Yes, the Voyager XP 1472g is a cordless scanner that connects via USB through a charge and communication base station. The system includes a USB Type A 3M straight cable, allowing flexible placement at the point of sale while maintaining reliable data transmission and charging capability.
How do absolute encoders differ from incremental encoders in these Datalogic sensors?
Absolute encoders like the AMT58 and AST58 provide a unique digital code for each position, allowing you to know the exact position immediately upon power-up without homing. Incremental encoders like the ENC58 generate pulses per revolution, requiring you to count pulses from a known reference point to determine position. Absolute encoders are ideal for applications requiring instant position feedback, while incremental encoders excel in motion control where relative movement tracking is sufficient.
What connectivity options are available with this Honeywell barcode scanner?
The CV-1200G-1D comes with multiple host system interfaces including USB (HID Keyboard, Serial, IBM OEM), RS-232 (TTL +5V), and KBW connections. The TSA version we offer includes a USB Type A 3m straight cable for immediate deployment. Additional connectivity via RS-232C (+/-12V) and IBM RS485 is supported through adapter cables available from our team.
What is the scan distance range for the Voyager XP 1472g?
The Voyager XP 1472g features an extended scan distance capability, allowing employees to reach barcodes at the bottom of shopping carts without bending over. This ergonomic design reduces strain on staff and speeds up checkout workflows in retail environments.
What industrial applications are these Datalogic optical encoders suitable for?
These sensors are designed for conveyor belt motion control, linear measurement, and material logistics applications requiring precise speed, revolution count, position, and linear movement monitoring. They're commonly used in warehouse automation, manufacturing shop floors, and industrial automation systems where accurate motion feedback is critical. The optical technology provides absolute precision across diverse industrial environments.
Is the Honeywell CV-1200G-1D durable enough for warehouse environments?
Yes—the CV-1200G-1D is engineered for warehouse durability with an IP42 environmental sealing rating and is designed to withstand 30 drops to concrete from 1.5 meters. It features a shock-mounted PCB for greater impact resistance, a recessed trigger button protected by integrated rubber comold, and a scratch-resistant glass window. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and it includes a 5-year factory warranty.
What are the power requirements for the CV-1200G-1D scanner?
The scanner operates on 5V +/- 5% input voltage with typical operating power consumption of 700mW (140 mA) and standby power of 350mW (70 mA). Its efficient power management minimizes battery drain in mobile operations, making it suitable for all-day warehouse and logistics use. Contact us today for integration guidance with your existing power infrastructure.
Can these encoders measure linear movement, and how?
Yes, Datalogic's optical encoders can measure linear movements with absolute precision by using coupled mechanical systems that convert linear motion into rotational input. This makes them suitable for applications beyond rotary motion, such as measuring conveyor belt travel distance or linear positioning in material handling systems. The encoder's ability to track revolutions directly translates to linear distance when properly calibrated to your specific application.
What are the main use cases for the Honeywell 1472g barcode scanner?
The Voyager XP 1472g is purpose-built for in-store retail workflows and point-of-sale applications. Its cordless design, fast scanning speed, and ability to read codes on both physical items and digital screens make it ideal for checkout counters, inventory management, and customer-facing retail operations.
What's included in the USB Kit version of the CV-1200G-1D?
The TSA version USB Kit includes the red 1D/2D/DPM scanner (model 1920IDPM-3), a USB Type A 3m straight cable (CBL-500-300-S00-01), and a vibrator for tactile feedback. This complete kit is ready for immediate deployment in warehouse, retail, or logistics environments.

Is the Voyager XP 1472g durable for retail environments?
Yes, the Voyager XP 1472g features a durable form factor designed to withstand the demands of retail environments. Its robust construction, combined with omni-directional scanning capabilities and extended scan distance, ensures reliable performance in fast-paced point-of-sale settings.
What makes optical encoders better than other sensor types for motion control?
Optical encoders provide non-contact measurement, eliminating wear and maintenance issues associated with mechanical contact sensors. They deliver high precision and reliability across a wide range of industrial conditions, with the ability to measure multiple variables including speed, position, and revolutions simultaneously. Datalogic's optical technology ensures consistent performance in automation and logistics environments where accuracy and durability are essential.
How does the CV-1200G-1D perform in bright lighting conditions?
The CV-1200G-1D operates reliably across light levels from 0 to 100,000 lux, including direct sunlight scanning. Its advanced optics maintain consistent scan performance in outdoor dock areas, brightly lit warehouses, and variable lighting conditions common in logistics operations. This makes it an excellent choice for facilities requiring both indoor and outdoor barcode scanning capabilities.
Can the Honeywell 1472g read barcodes on mobile phone screens?
Yes, the Voyager XP 1472g's 2D scanning technology enables it to read barcodes and codes displayed on digital screens, including mobile phones and tablets. This capability makes it versatile for modern retail scenarios involving mobile coupons, digital loyalty programs, and screen-based transactions. Contact us today to find the right configuration for your retail operation.
How do I choose between single-turn and multi-turn encoders for my application?
Choose a single-turn encoder like the AST58 if your application involves rotation within one complete revolution and you only need position data within that range. Select a multi-turn encoder like the AMT58 if your application requires tracking position across multiple continuous rotations, such as on long conveyor systems or machinery with unlimited rotation. Contact us today to discuss your specific motion control requirements and we can recommend the ideal encoder solution for your warehouse or manufacturing operation.
