Benefit |
|
A 150 ft. (45M) "line
of sight" working range. |
- Maximum flexibility for
working away from the base station.
- Greater mobility and
versatility.
- Increased safety with no
cable to get caught up in adjacent moving belts or other
equipment.
- Reduced cost and down time
for failed cables.
- Improved efficiency of
workers.
|
|
Four different models of
PowerScan RF are available:
Standard Range
High Density
Long Range
Extra Long Range
|
- PowerScan RF has a model of
scanner to meet varying read range application
requirements.
- Different models may be
assigned to the same base station in multi-point mode.
|
|
Narrow band 915mHz or 433mHz
radio. |
- Worldwide operation.
- No license required for
operation.
- No concern about
interference with high. frequency LAN's operating in
the same area.
|
|
38.4K baud data rate
(Manchester encoding). |
- Rapid transmission of data
packets for quick response.
|
|
Easy linking of scanner to
base station. The user simply scans a bar code on the base and
the linking is complete. |
- No special software tools or
manuals to scan to link a scanner to a base station. This
is especially effective when workloads shift and
additional personnel are needed in a work area quickly.
|
|
Multi-point operation allows
up to 8 scanners to communicate to one base (some performance
degradation may occur). |
- Reduces the cost of
additional base stations when multiple scanners are
performing data collection to a common host.
- This provides the
flexibility to move the scanners around to adjust to
varying work loads in different areas.
|
|
10 separate channels
available. |
- Each scanner can operate on
it's own frequency allowing different applications to run
simultaneously without cross talk or interference.
|
|
Lightweight ergonomic
design. |
- Reduces operator fatigue
which increases efficiency.
|
|
Flash memory to store
system software. |
|
|
Advanced QuadraLogic II
decoding software. |
- Read damaged and poorly
printed bar codes that most other scanners cannot read.
- Compensates for spots,
voids, under-print, overprint, margin errors, torn and
disfigured bar codes.
|
|
Combined base station and
battery charger. |
- Each time the scanner is
placed into the base station battery charging is
immediate.
- The base station also acts
as a holder for the scanner.
|
|
Three position latch on base
station. |
- Latch is adjustable to fit
requirements ranging from simple horizontal mounting on a
fixed surface to vertical mounting on a fork truck.
|
|
EZ change battery pack takes
3 seconds to remove and replace. |
- No time is lost dealing with
screws or latches just press with thumb and finger and
pull and replace.
|
|
Data transmission
acknowledgement beep. |
- Each time data is
successfully transmitted to the base station an
acknowledgement tone is activated at the scanner assuring
the operator of data transmission. This is especially
important when operating at the extreme range of the
radio.
|
|
Under normal operating
conditions the wireless scanner can operate up to 8 hours on a
single charge of the battery. |
- Operators can work a full
shift without changing battery packs.
|
|
Automatic sensing of battery
condition when placed into the base station. |
- If the battery is low the
system automatically goes into quick charge mode to
provide as rapid a charge as possible.
- Rapid charge to 90% in 2
hours.
- Rapid charge to 100% in 3
hours.
|
|
Multiple host interfaces in
base station.
RS232/ XT, AT, PS2/Wand
Emulation.
Universal Keyboard Wedge (over
320 selections)/RS232/USB Keyboard.
IBM 46XX /IBM USB/RS232.
Cable Auto Select that
automatically selects the correct interface when the host
interface cable is plugged in.
|
- High flexibility for end
users who may want to move the system to different
locations for different applications.
- Minimizes stocking for
dealers and distributors.
- Makes changing host
interface as simple as plugging in a cable.
|
|
The same cables that are
used in most PSC hand held scanner products.
PowerScan
QS6000 Plus
QS1000
|
- Minimizes stocking for
customers and dealers.
|
|
A four-station gang charger
is available. |
- This allows for the charging
of up to 4 battery packs simultaneously for
preparation for the next shift.
