PSC PowerScan™ LR and XLR Industrial Handheld Bar Code Scanner

The PSC PowerScan LR and XLR scanner has been specifically designed "from the ground up" to meet the demands of tough industrial applications - especially where labels are frequently scanned both up close and at great distances. It will read a standard 13mil UPC label as close as 5 inches (13cm) and a 100mil reflective label 22 feet (264cm) away. Forklift operators can use the PSC PowerScan LR to scan both bar codes on a manifest and distant shelf labels without leaving their forklift. With the PSC PowerScan XLR model you can read 15 mil labels as close as 28" (71cm) and 100 mil reflective labels as far away as a whopping 36' (11m).

In any application, you can rely on the PSC PowerScan LR and XLR for fast, accurate bar code reading of both paper and reflective labels. PSC's new QuadraLogic™ decoding software enables users to successfully read dirty, smudged and damaged labels that were previously considered unreadable. In addition, the PSC PowerScan LR will automatically adjust to read a wide range of code densities and autodiscriminate all standard bar code symbologies.

Dependable in the harshest conditions
Even in the harshest working environments, you can depend on the PSC PowerScan LR and XLR to keep on working. Designed to meet the most stringent drop specification in the industry, the scanner will withstand multiple 6 foot (183cm) drops to concrete. Even dust and moisture won't phase it. In fact, the PSC PowerScan LR and XLR scanners have 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 LR scanner operates in bone-chilling blizzards, down to -22° F (-30° C) and scorching desert heat, up to 122° F (50° C).

Built Rugged To Stand Up To Abuse
Handheld scanners are often dropped and abused, so the PSC PowerScan LR has been designed with tough impact-resistant material and incorporates protective rubber cushioning at every point of impact. The frictionless scan mechanism, with a limited lifetime warranty, and all internal optical components, are shock mounted to maintain precise alignment under high shock loads. The PSC PowerScan LR also features a unique shatterproof scan window with a patented diamond coating to resist scratching. Even the replaceable interface cable is protected with an integrated metal strain relief.

Innovative Host Connectivity
The PSC PowerScan LR scanner offers 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. In addition, the PSC PowerScan scanner'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!
