New wireless, wired bar code readers
Here's the PowerScan bar code reader system for Zone 1 and Division 1 hazardous areas.
The wireless PowerScan M system for Zone 1 locations consists of a transmitter and base station, with power provided by a charger located in the safe area. The wired PowerScan D system for Div. 1/Zone 1 locations consists of a bar code reader connected via a junction box to the host PC, which can be located as far as 150 m away in the safe area.
With PowerScan, all common 1D-bar code families can be captured, and patented technology effectively reads even damaged and difficult-to-read bar codes. The rugged housing helps ensure full functionality, even after being dropped from a height of 2 m. PowerScan features a targeting guide that helps the user achieve successful readings when codes are located in close proximity to one another. Three green LEDs located on the top and back of the bar code reader are visible from any angle to visually confirm that the code has been successfully read. Successful readings are also confirmed with an audible tone, and the result can be read in the display.
