PSC PowerScan™ Industrial Handheld Bar Code Laser Scanner

PSC PowerScan: setting a new standard
the PSC PowerScan family of handheld laser bar code scanners has been specifically designed "from the ground up" to meet the demands of industrial users. In this tough environment, the right tool makes all the difference. With a PSC PowerScan scanner on the job, you'll have one of the toughest, most reliable tools around.

You can rely on the PSC PowerScan scanner for fast, accurate bar code reading, from up close to over 65" (165cm) away. Even labels previously thought to be unreadable can now be read using PSC's new superior decoding software, QuadraLogic™. The scanner will auto-discriminate all standard bar code symbologies and automatically adjust to read a wide range of code densities.

Dependable in the harshest conditions
Even in the most harsh working environments, you can depend on the PSC PowerScan scanner to keep on working. Designed to meet the most stringent drop specification in the industry, the scanner will withstand multiple 6' (183cm) drops to concrete.

Even dust and moisture won't faze it. In fact, the PSC PowerScan scanner has a rating of IP54, which means it meets or exceeds the sealing rating of every portable host terminal on the market. And don't worry about weather conditions - the PSC PowerScan scanner operates over a wide temperature range, from below freezing to over 120°F (49°C).

Built rugged to stand up to abuse
As we all know, handheld scanners often are dropped and abused, so this scanner has been designed with high impact-resistant material and incorporates protective rubber cushioning at every point of impact. The frictionless scan mechanism, with a limited life-time warranty, and all internal optical components, are shock mounted to maintain precise alignment under high shock loads. The scan window is made of shatter-proof material and is diamond coated to resist scratching. Even the replaceable cable is protected with an integrated metal strain relief.

Innovative host connectivity
The PSC PowerScan scanner also has a broad range of communication options using unique multi-interface modules, which allow for connection to most host computer systems. Our AutoSelect™ feature allows you to quickly move between different hosts and applications by simply changing cables. Finally, PSC PowerScan's low current draw, combined with its low power mode, make it ideal for use with battery operated terminals.

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!
