Handheld barcode reader Datalogic PBT9600-ARRB 1D/2D Wireless Bluetooth

The Datalogic PBT9600-ARRB is a rugged handheld barcode reader supporting 1D and 2D codes with Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless connectivity. Built for industrial and retail environments, the scanner combines IP65 and IP67 ingress protection, drop resistance to 2.5 m, and a 3350 mAh lithium-ion battery to meet continuous scanning needs. Its wireless charging cradle removes exposed charging contacts, while a bright OLED display and optional keypad enable operator feedback and data entry on the move.

Advantages

The PBT9600-ARRB delivers durable operation in harsh conditions with sealed housing and a trigger rated for millions of actuations. Bluetooth 5.0 provides flexible wireless pairing to host devices, and the inductive wireless-charging system reduces contact-related failures. Modular connectivity options across the PowerScan 9600 family allow future-proof interfacing choices and simplified configuration. Models in the series offer higher read speeds, extended-range optics, or color document capture depending on application needs.

Place the scanner in its cradle for charging—inductive charging removes the need to clean contact pins. Use the OLED display and optional keypad to verify scanned data and enter information when required.

Recommendations

Charge the device regularly and store it in the wireless cradle when not in use to maintain battery health. Clean the scanner housing with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive solvents. For best wireless performance, maintain a clear line of sight between scanner and paired device or base station and follow your site’s interference management practices.
