Handheld barcode reader Datalogic PBT9600-HPRBK10EU 1D/2D Wireless Bluetooth

The Datalogic PBT9600-HPRBK10EU is a rugged handheld barcode reader that reads 1D and 2D codes and offers Bluetooth® 5.0 wireless connectivity for flexible, cordless operation. Designed for industrial and retail environments, the device has IP65 and IP67 protection, survives 2.5 m drops onto concrete, and uses inductive wireless charging to avoid failures from dirty or corroded contacts. Its 3350 mAh lithium‑ion battery provides extended runtime and the compact form factor (79 × 140 × 198 mm) ensures comfortable handling.

Advantages

The PBT9600 combines industrial durability with modern connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0 enables pairing with a wide range of host devices, while the wireless charging cradle removes exposed contacts. High read performance supports standard and high‑density 1D/2D codes with faster read rates than competing models. The scanner’s sealed housing and trigger rated for millions of actuations reduce downtime and maintenance needs. Built‑in OLED feedback and optional keypad/display configurations improve operator interaction and efficiency.

Suitable for

• Warehouse picking and inventory management
• Manufacturing traceability and production line scanning
• Retail back‑room and point‑of‑sale tasks
• Intralogistics and goods receiving

How to use

Charge the scanner in the supplied wireless cradle before first use. Pair the PBT9600 with a host device that supports Bluetooth® connections according to the device’s pairing procedure. Aim the scanner at the barcode and press the trigger to read; successful reads are confirmed by visual feedback on the OLED display and the green spot illumination. For extended scanning sessions, monitor battery health via the cradle or device indicators and replace or recharge as required.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term operation, use the wireless charging cradle to minimise exposure of charging contacts to dirt and moisture, perform periodic inspections of seals and trigger function, and configure the scanner’s communication profile to match your host (Bluetooth pairing or base station) to ensure stable connectivity across the working area.
