 Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the PowerScan barcode 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 barcode
reader connected via a junction box to the Host PC, which can be
located up to 150 meters away in the safe area.
With PowerScan, all common 1D-barcode families can be captured, and
patented technology effectively reads even damaged and
difficult-to-read barcodes. The rugged housing ensures full
functionality, even after being dropped from a height of two meters.
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 barcode
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.
The PowerScan wireless barcode reading system can be used in
combination with VisuNet industrial operator workstations, TERMEX
operator terminals or as a standalone solution.
