Opticon Model PHL-1600
Portable Laser Data Collection Terminals
Opticon PHL-1600 - The Next Generation
High Performance
Terminal
The Opticon PHL-1600 outperforms higher priced terminals and it is the lowest priced
terminal to buy and operate. The Opticon PHL-1600 is an all-day terminal which is easy to
use in virtually any application. It's so small, light and ergonomic, it feels more like a
TV remote than a full function, high speed laser terminal. Don't let its small size fool
you - at the heart of the Opticon PHL-1600 is a system that delivers 100 laser scans per
second for very high "first pass" read rates. It will even read bar codes all
the way down to 5 mil resolution.
"Go Anywhere" Portability
The Opticon PHL-1600 is only 6.75" tall, 2.25" wide and 1.5" thick
(smaller than most cell phones) and weighs a mere 7.8 ounces, including batteries (less
than half the weight of most competitors)! The Opticon PHL-1600 fits into any size hand
and features easy, left or right one-handed operation. The Opticon PHL-1600 delivers up to
120 hours of operation on two "AA" batteries (rechargeable NiMH batteries
optional).
Selectable automatic power-down feature reduces its already low battery drain. It
features a real-time clock to time and date-stamp collected data, and a programmable
backlit LCD screen permits selection of the characters and functions required, as well as
optimized scan and view angle for ease of reading operation.
Create Your Own Data Collection Applications
A copy of Rapid GEN Program Generator software is included with each
terminal, providing users with no prior programming experience the ability to customize
screens for data collection and entry functions. Each terminal is pre-configured with a
standard application program for instant, out-of-the-box use.
