TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

PowerScan PM9600 Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Why is Datalogic's 433 MHz STAR radio better than Bluetooth in factories?

433 MHz has a longer wavelength that bends around steel racking and machinery up to 150 metres without sharing the crowded 2.4 GHz spectrum used by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and gives instant two way OLED screen feedback.

Can we also get the PowerScan 9600 with standard Bluetooth or corded USB?

Yes, the PowerScan 9600 family includes the corded PD9600, Bluetooth 5.0 PBT9600, and 433 MHz STAR PM9600 (with or without OLED keypad).

Which lens model should we specify?

HP handles 90% of general 1D/2D scanning; AR adds up to 20 m long range pallet racking; DPX is purpose built for direct part marks on metal.
