Kiinteä viivakoodinlukija Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro 1D/2D CMOS johdollinen musta

The Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro is a fixed barcode reader for 1D and 2D codes, built around a CMOS sensor and wired connectivity (RS-232, USB). Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it offers IP54 protection, compact dimensions and simple installation for integration into existing FM430 Series setups.

Advantages

The FM431 Barracuda Pro provides high-speed scanning with improved motion tolerance, increasing read rates for conveyor, automated and POS fixed-mount applications. Dual aiming (laser and LED) allows precise targeting while offering a customer-safe LED option. Advanced exposure control and an IP54 rating make the scanner reliable in varied lighting and weather conditions. Fast send-and-receive communication and standardized mounting points simplify integration and responsiveness to host systems.

Suitable for

• Conveyor and manufacturing line code capture
• Automated vending and robotic scanning stations
• Point-of-sale fixed-mount installations
• Indoor and outdoor access control or kiosk systems

How to use

Mount the FM431 Barracuda Pro using the base mounting points and connect to the host system via RS-232 or USB. Position the scanner so barcodes pass through the aiming zone; use laser aiming to precisely indicate the read area or LED aiming for customer-facing applications. Configure host settings if required to accept the scanner’s communication protocol and test reads across the expected motion speeds and lighting conditions.

Recommendations

For best results, use LED aiming in customer-facing environments and laser aiming for automated or conveyor systems that require precise aim. Verify the scanner alignment at the expected conveyor speed and ensure the scanner is protected from direct, sustained exposure to extreme weather despite its IP54 rating.
