Description

CipherLab A97AM3CLN31UP Rugged Handheld Barcode Scanner

Overview

The CipherLab A97AM3CLN31UP is a Windows CE/Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 mobile computer built for warehouse, logistics, and field scanning operations. It combines a 2D laser scan engine with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, IP65 environmental protection, and a 3.5-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen. The 38-key numeric keypad and 447-gram weight support all-day handheld deployment in demanding environments where barcode accuracy and rugged durability drive ROI.

Compatibility

The A97AM3CLN31UP integrates with warehouse management systems (WMS), inventory tracking platforms, and logistics software that accept Windows CE or Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 client deployments. It communicates via standard WiFi (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n, Cisco CCXv4 certified) and Bluetooth Class II v2.1 EDR, enabling pairing with compatible mobile infrastructure, printers, and enterprise data networks. The microSD expansion slot (up to 32GB SDHC) supports local data staging and offline scanning workflows common in cross-dock and receiving operations.

Installation Notes

SGS-certified impact resistance: 1.8-meter drops onto concrete and 500 tumbles from 1 meter per MIL-STD-810G standards ensure reliability in fast-paced fulfillment floors. IP65 rating handles warehouse dust, moisture, and incidental spillage — not full submersion. The 3600mAh Li-ion battery delivers 13 working hours per charge; a 5400mAh variant (478g) is available on request for extended-shift operations. TI OMAP 3730 1GHz processor, 512MB DDR SDRAM, and 4GB NAND FLASH support real-time scanning, data caching, and local processing without network lag. Rechargeable via USB integration simplifies depot maintenance in high-volume scanning environments.
