PowerScan™ PBT9300 Description The PowerScan™ PBT9300 reader is a feature-rich and rugged laser reader. It is offered in several different mod- els to better fit the different needs of each customer. The table below shows the unique features of each model: Model P/N Optical feature PBT9300-XX...
Using the PowerScan™ PBT9300 Using the PowerScan™ PBT9300 The PowerScan™ PBT9300 reader normally functions by capturing and decoding bar codes. The reader is equipped with an aiming system which helps to aim the target. Table 1. Aiming System PowerScan™ PBT9300 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading performance, see figure (1) above.
Using the PowerScan™ PBT9300 Reading Angle Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections that impair the reading performance, see the figure below. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.
To install, charge and/or do any other action on the bat- tery, follow the instructions in this manual. To charge the Battery Pack, See “Charging the Batteries” on page 7. Datalogic recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure NOTE maximum performance.
Page 15
Use only the authorized power supplies, bat- tery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by CAUTION your Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty. Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Page 16
Installing the Battery Pack As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles.
Installing the Battery Pack Charging the Batteries Once the BC 90x0-BT is powered, you can charge the ™ reader's batteries. Place the PowerScan BT9300 into the BC 90x0-BT cradle. The Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red. The battery is completely charged when the Reader LED on the cradle/battery charger turns green.
Programming Do not incinerate, disassemble, short ter- minals or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of WARNING the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force.
