1 INTRODUCTION
Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the
PowerScan™ BT8300 family. Robustness and
ergonomics remain unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs for areas where noise levels are
normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right code, has now been extended to the whole
PowerScan™
family. Optical parts are completely suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body materials, such as
the co-moulded rubber, protect the
PowerScan™ from damage due to "falls".
New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables exceptional performance for
promptness and reading speed of standard codes as well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Puzzle
Solver Technology™, a patent from Datalogic, adds further strength to the
PowerScan™ powerful engine.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the new PowerScan™ BT8300 represents the key to increase productivity
and flexibility in the working area. PowerScan™ BT8300 communicates through a low power, license free radio in the 2.4
GHz band (Bluetooth®) and allows bi-directional communication between the base station and the host. PowerScan™
BT8300 also includes a display and either a 3 or 16-key push-button keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can
type unreadable codes or additional information (like quantity) and visualize the code read. The cordless system offers
scalable solutions to solve simple applications and complex projects:

PowerScan BT8300/BC 8030-BT: up to four readers can transmit data to one base station

PowerScan BT8300/Bluetooth-Enabled PC: up to 7 readers can connect with the Host.
Your PowerScan™ reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Guide, which provides connection, diagrams, reading
diagrams, basic application parameter settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the
Quick Reference Guide or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for
your application. This manual provides all the necessary information for complete mechanical installation and system
software configuration.
2 INSTALLATION
2.1 BC 8030-BT Interface Cable Connections
The BC 8030-BT incorporates a multi-standard interface, which can be connected to a Host by simply plugging the correct
interface cable into the Host connector, placed on the base of the cradle. In addition the cradle must be connected to an
external power supply.
