Käsikäyttöinen viivakoodinlukija Datalogic PowerScan PM9100

The Datalogic PowerScan PM9100 is a cordless handheld 1D barcode reader designed for industrial environments. It uses Datalogic’s STAR Cordless System narrow band radio (433 MHz) to provide wireless operation up to 50 meters and is built with an IP65 rating and shock resistance for demanding use. The scanner employs a linear imager with a green scanning line that provides laser-like definition while keeping the benefits of an imager. The PM9100 family includes three models: a basic unit without display or keypad, a version with display and 4-key keypad, and a version with display and full alphanumeric keypad. Multi-interface support includes RS-232, Keyboard Wedge and USB.

Advantages

The PM9100 combines the precision of a laser-like green scanning line with the flexibility of a linear imager, delivering reliable 1D barcode reading in industrial conditions. Integrated 3 Green Lights (3GL) and patented Green Spot on the code provide clear good-read feedback, while dual top LEDs enhance visibility from different angles. The unit’s cordless design and STAR Cordless System ensure mobility and stable radio communication, and the IP65 protection and shock resistance increase durability in harsh workplaces.

How to use

Power on the scanner and ensure it is paired with the STAR Cordless System base at the correct frequency. Aim the green scanning line at the 1D barcode and press the trigger; the imager will illuminate the code and provide good-read feedback via the Green Spot and 3GL indicators. Use the appropriate model if display or keypad entry is required for manual input or configuration. Connect to host systems via RS-232, Keyboard Wedge or USB as needed for data transfer and system integration.

Recommendations

For reliable wireless performance keep the base station within the specified 50 m range and avoid long line-of-sight obstructions. Clean the imager window regularly and choose the model with a keypad or display when frequent manual entries or confirmations are required.
