Fixed bar code reader Datalogic DSM04XX

The Datalogic DSM04XX fixed bar code reader delivers compact 1D and 2D scanning performance for integration into kiosks, ticketing machines, access control systems, autonomous robots and laboratory test equipment. Housed in a high-impact resin body with an IP54 rating, the DSM04XX resists dust, water splashes and common cleaning solvents; it is lightweight (96 g) and small (47 mm wide, 27 mm deep), making it suitable for tight enclosures while supporting wired RJ-45 connectivity and a 5 V DC supply.

Advantages

The DSM04XX combines a very small form factor with rugged construction and multiple interface options. Available in different resolutions and fields of view, including a wide-angle model for confined spaces, it offers reliable operation in low light and during motion, audible feedback and a visible 4‑dot aimer plus Green Spot good-read indication. Mounting hardware is included for flexible mechanical and electrical integration.

How to use

Install the DSM04XX into your enclosure using the supplied mounting hardware; it can be mounted from any side and at various angles to suit the installation. Connect the unit using the wired RJ-45 interface and supply 5 V DC power.

Verify reads using the audible beep, 4‑dot aimer and Green Spot indicator.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, mount the reader to minimise mechanical shock, avoid direct high‑pressure water jets, and follow manufacturer cleaning guidance for solvents and disinfectants. Select the resolution and field of view variant that matches the expected barcode sizes and working distance in your application.
