POWERSCAN™ BC9600 BASE STATIONS
USING THE BC9600 BASE STATION
The BC9600 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ PM/
PBT9600 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decod
-
ing and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via
RS232, USB, USB Type C or Ethernet, depending on the interchangeable con
-
nection module.
With the adoption of the Wireless Power Transfer technology, the base sta
-
tion can charge the battery of the gun without contacts, with a performance
depending on the power supply type used.
The label on the base station has LED indicators and a touch button. Touch
the button for 2 seconds and all properly configured and switched on scan
-
ners (with battery profile different from Max Autonomy) that are linked to
that base station and within the radio range coverage, will emit a beep and
blink within 5 seconds. This feature is useful to:
•
verify which scanners are linked to a particular base station;
•
detect a scanner forgotten somewhere.
The LEDs signal the BC9600 status, as explained below.
