Unitech MS100-NRCB00-SG Barcode Scanner Overview
The MS100 is a wand/pen barcode scanner, an ergonomic and compact device best suited for low-volume applications.
It's likely that a wand barcode scanner such as the MS100 offers the best form factor for your application. As the least expensive type of barcode scanner in the market, there's a lot to be said about the lasting value of a wand barcode scanner.
What type of barcode scanner is the Unitech MS100?
The Unitech MS100 is a corded barcode wand scanner with a 1D LED beam laser designed for general-purpose, low-volume barcoding applications. Its pen-like shape provides comfortable handling, and you simply drag the tip across a barcode in either direction to capture data. We offer the MS100 as a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking reliable barcode capture without wireless complexity.
What interface and connectivity does the MS100 use?
The Unitech MS100 connects via RS-232 serial interface, making it compatible with legacy systems and devices that support serial communication. The scanner is tethered with a cable, ensuring consistent power and data transmission without the need for batteries or wireless pairing. Contact us today if you need guidance on serial port compatibility with your existing infrastructure.
What barcode symbologies can the Unitech MS100 decode?
Based on the MS100's 1D laser technology, it decodes standard 1D barcode symbologies including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, and ITF formats. This makes it well-suited for retail, warehouse, and general inventory applications where standard linear barcodes are the primary labeling method. Visit barcodesinc.com for detailed specification sheets on supported symbologies.
Is the Unitech MS100 suitable for warehouse and logistics environments?
Yes, the MS100 is designed for warehouse and logistics use with its durable construction and reliable barcode capture. The scanner's advanced optics and electronic design convert barcode labels into high-quality digital signals, and the audible "good read" beep confirms successful data capture. We recommend it for low-to-moderate volume scanning operations where a cost-effective, corded solution fits your workflow.
What are the operating conditions and environmental specifications for the MS100?
The Unitech MS100 operates in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) and handles humidity levels from 0% to 95% relative humidity in non-condensing environments. The scanner is designed to withstand mechanical shock and can handle light levels from total darkness to 100,000 lux (direct sunlight). These specifications make it suitable for standard warehouse and indoor retail environments.
What is the reading distance and scan performance of the MS100?
The MS100 offers a depth of field of 25 mm to 310 mm (1 to 12.2 inches) for 100% UPC accuracy, with a scan field width of 118 mm at 127 mm distance from the scanner face. It can read minimum element widths as small as 0.102 mm (4 mil) for 1D barcodes and requires a minimum 20% print contrast difference. Contact us today to discuss whether these specifications meet your specific scanning distance and barcode quality requirements.
The Unitech MS100-NRCB00-SG Barcode Scanner is also known as
