PowerScan

Wireless Industrial Bar Code Scanner
A Tough Portable Tool
For Your Toughest Jobs
Freedom!
Are restrictive interface cables keeping you
from doing business the way you want?
Are you restricted to scanning only in the
25.0' (7.6 m) area around your host terminal?
Well, not anymore!
With the PSC PowerScan™ RF wireless
scanner, you now have the freedom to go
where the work is, not the other way around.
Now you only have to take the 27.5 oz.
(0.8 kg) PowerScan™ RF scanner to the
500 lb. (227 kg) pallet; not the pallet to the
scanner.
Utilizing the latest in Radio Frequency (RF)
technology, the PowerScan™ RF has a range
of up to 150.0' (45.7 m). This allows you the
freedom to scan pallets at the other end of
the loading dock or boxes at the end of a
warehouse aisle up to 150.0’ (45.7 m) from
your fork truck. Its unique acknowledgment
tone lets you know that your data transmis-
sion was successful.
With multi-point capability the Power-
Scan™ RF allows you to assign multiple
scanners to a single base station thereby
increasing throughput and reducing the cost
of additional base stations and host
terminals.
The convenient base/docking station
charges the battery every time the scanner
inserted. The PowerScan™ RF can operate up
to 8 hours or more on a single charge of the
battery pack. However, when the battery
charge is low, the PowerScan™ RF alerts you.
Changing the battery is a quick 5 second job.
An optional gang charger lets you charge up
to 4 battery packs at a time.
The base station can be mounted on a
counter, a wall or even a fork truck. The
uniquely designed latch keeps the scanner in
place even if your fork truck is going over
floor grates or speed bumps.
Built for Rugged Industrial
Environments
The Powerscan™ RF is based on the original
PowerScan™ laser scanner, the first scanner
designed from the ground up for rugged
industrial use. The RF meets the same tough
environmental standards such as an IP54
rating for dust and wind blown rain. And a
drop specification of 30 six foot (1.8 m) drops
to concrete!
All models of PowerScan™ RF have the
same rugged features that have made
PowerScan™ scanners the choice for tough
industrial applications.
• High impact enclosure with protective
rubber cushioning.
• Frictionless scan mechanism with a limited
lifetime warranty.
• Shock mounted optical components.
• Diamond coated, shatter-proof window.
• Flash Memory for easy field upgrades.
4 Different Models To Fit Your Needs
If you need to read small, high density labels

(10.7 m) up on the side of a warehouse
storage rack, there is a model for you. The
PowerScan™ RF models include High Density
(HD), Standard Range (SR), Long Range (LR)
and Extra Long Range (XLR). And every
model is equipped with QuadraLogic™ II
decoding software to read torn, disfigured
