Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 Features

Rugged Design for Industrial Environments

The PowerScan PM9600 is designed to withstand the demanding conditions found in warehouses, manufacturing plants and distribution centres. Its rugged construction provides protection against dust, water and accidental drops, making it suitable for intensive industrial use.

• IP65 and IP67 protection against dust and water.
• Designed to withstand drops of up to 2.5 metres onto concrete.
• Trigger tested for more than 10 million activations.
• Resistant to electrostatic discharges and demanding operating conditions.

High-Performance 1D and 2D Scanning

The PM9600 provides fast and accurate reading of a wide variety of 1D and 2D barcodes. Its high-resolution imaging technology allows it to capture codes quickly, including codes that are damaged, poorly printed or difficult to read.

The scanner supports common 2D symbologies such as QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec, as well as traditional 1D barcodes.

With a 1280 × 800 pixel image sensor, the PM9600 delivers reliable scanning performance across a broad range of applications.

Advanced Scanning Performance

The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 is available with different scanning configurations to meet specific application requirements.

• High Performance (HP): reads 1D barcodes from approximately 2.5 mil and 2D codes from 4 mil.
• Standard Range (SR): reads 1D barcodes from approximately 3 mil and 2D codes from 6 mil.
• Designed to operate in challenging lighting conditions, including direct sunlight of up to 100,000 lux.

Long-Range Wireless Connectivity

One of the key advantages of the PowerScan PM9600 is its cordless communication. Datalogic's STAR Cordless System™ provides reliable wireless communication between the scanner and its base station, allowing operators to move freely around the workplace without being restricted by cables.

Depending on the configuration and operating environment, the system can provide a wireless range of up to 230 metres, making it particularly useful in large warehouses, production areas and distribution centres.

Selected configurations are also available with an OLED display and 16-key keypad, providing additional interaction and allowing operators to access information or enter data directly from the scanner.

Long-Lasting Battery

The PM9600 is equipped with a removable 3,350 mAh lithium-ion battery designed to support intensive scanning throughout the working day.

Depending on usage and configuration, the scanner can deliver up to approximately 80,000 scans per charge, while a full recharge takes approximately 3.2 hours.

The removable battery design also makes it easier to keep scanners operational in environments where continuous availability is essential.

Ergonomic Design for Intensive Scanning

Although designed for demanding industrial environments, the Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 maintains a balanced and ergonomic design. Its shape is optimised for comfortable handheld operation, helping reduce user fatigue during long scanning sessions.

Operators can receive immediate confirmation that a barcode has been successfully captured through multiple feedback options, including:

• Green Spot and 3GL™ visual confirmation.
• Vibration feedback.
• Acoustic buzzer.
