- Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity with STAR Radio option (433/910 MHz)
- Multiple wired interfaces: USB and RS-232 for legacy system integration
- 10 million trigger press durability for extended operational life
- Lightweight 440 g design reduces operator fatigue
- Green Spot good-read feedback for instant visual confirmation
- 1-Year Limited Warranty
Technical Specifications
The PD9630-DCK1 weighs 440 g (0.97 lb) with compact dimensions of 71 x 203 x 107 mm, making it suitable for extended hand-held operations without operator strain. The IP65 rating ensures reliable performance in wet, dusty, or harsh industrial settings. Bluetooth 5.0 provides robust wireless connectivity with optional STAR Radio support for facilities requiring spread-spectrum stability. Standard USB and RS-232 connectivity accommodate both modern and legacy enterprise systems, while inductive charging capability (on supported models) streamlines depot management workflows.
Applications
The PowerScan 9600 Series excels in:
- Manufacturing & Assembly: Component tracking, work-in-process management, and finished goods verification
- Logistics & Warehouse: Receiving, putaway, picking, and shipping operations
- Transportation & Distribution: Load verification, route tracking, and proof of delivery
- Healthcare: Patient identification, specimen tracking, and inventory management in clinical and pharmaceutical settings
The PowerScan 9600 represents Datalogic's commitment to platform standardization across enterprise deployments. The combination of IP65 sealing, 2.5 m drop resistance, and 10 million trigger cycles provides confidence in total cost of ownership calculations—critical for operations managing large scanner fleets across multiple facilities. The availability of three optical configurations (Standard, High-Performance, Document) within the same form factor enables organizations to optimize for specific use cases—document capture in retail or healthcare, high-speed industrial reading in manufacturing—without retraining operators or complicating spare parts management.
Bluetooth 5.0 paired with optional STAR Radio ensures radio frequency flexibility for facilities transitioning from legacy infrastructure. The wired connectivity backbone (USB/RS-232) provides fallback integration pathways essential for mission-critical environments where wireless alone may not meet uptime requirements.
