PSC PowerScan RF Wireless Bar Code Scanner

Freedom!
Are restrictive interface cables keeping you from doing business the way you want? Are you restricted to scanning only in the 25.0' (7.62m) area around your host terminal? Well, not anymore! With the PSC PowerScan RF wireless scanner, you now have the freedom to go where the work is, not the other way around.

Now you only have to take the 27.5oz (0.8kg) PowerScan RF scanner to the 500 lb. (227kg) pallet; not the pallet to the scanner. Utilizing the latest in Radio Frequency (RF) technology, the PowerScan RF has a range of up to 150.0' (45.7m). This allows you the freedom to scan pallets at the other end of the loading dock or boxes at the end of a warehouse aisle up to 150.0 (45.7m) from your fork truck. Its unique acknowledgement tone lets you know that your data transmission was successful.

With multi-point capability the PowerScan RF allows you to assign multiple scanners to a single base station thereby increasing throughput and reducing the cost of additional base stations and host terminals. The convenient base/docking station charges the battery every time the scanner inserted. The PowerScan RF can operate up to 8 hours or more on a single charge of the battery pack. However, when the battery charge is low, the PowerScan RF alerts you.

Changing the battery is a quick 5 second job. An optional 4-station charger lets you charge up to 4 battery packs at a time. The base station can be mounted on a counter, a wall or even a fork truck. The uniquely designed latch keeps the scanner in place even if your fork truck is going over floor grates or speed bumps.

Built for Rugged Industrial Environments
The PowerScan RF is based on the original PowerScan laser scanner, the first scanner designed from the ground up for rugged industrial use. The RF meets the same tough environmental standards such as an IP54 rating for dust and wind blown rain. And a drop specification of 30 six-foot (1.8m) drops to concrete!

All models of PowerScan RF have the same rugged features that have made PowerScan scanners the choice for tough industrial applications.

High impact enclosure with protective rubber cushioning.

Frictionless scan mechanism with a limited lifetime warranty.

Shock mounted optical components.

Diamond coated, shatter-proof window.

Flash Memory for easy field upgrades.

Four different models to fit your needs
If you need to read small, high density labels at 2" (5.1cm) or reflective labels at 35' (10.7cm) up on the side of a warehouse storage rack, there is a model for you. the PowerScan RF models include High Density (HD), Standard Range (SR), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR). And every model is equipped with QuadraLogic II decoding software to read torn, disfigured and poorly printed labels.

Introducing the New PowerScan PowerHood

PSC is now shipping a padded cover accessory, the PowerHood, for the PowerScan(TM) family of industrial handheld scanners. PowerScan is already the industry's most rugged industrial handheld scanner. We test PowerScan to ensure that the scanners can survive dozens of 2-meter (6.5 feet) drops to concrete. However, we have gotten requests for a padded hood that can be put onto the top of PowerScan to give customers in the most demanding environments even more protection for the scanner. We listened, and this new PowerHood will make PowerScan, the industries' best, even more robust. The PowerHood can be used with all corded and RF versions of PowerScan; and as you would expect, it's built PowerScan tough. It features thick, multi-layer padding of dense Volara foam, stitched into a tough ballistic nylon covering. In addition, it features a metal D-ring on top for easily attaching tether loops from take-up reels and other hanging devices. The D-ring is tested to withstand up to 300-pounds of pull force to ensure long durability. The PowerHood will give PowerScan that last degree of insurance in the most demanding environments. Protect your PowerScan investment by using the PowerHood. Call RACO Industries to speak to a sales rep for more details!
