Datalogic PBT9600 power/communication cradle
The BC9631-BT cradle is used for charging the readers but also for radio frequency communication between the Datalogic barcode readers and the computer.
The BC9631-BT creates a wireless reading system for data collection, decoding and transmission when paired with one or more PowerScan PBT9600 barcode readers. It can be connected to a host PC via RS-232, USB or Ethernet interfaces, depending on the interchangeable connection module.
With the adoption of Wireless Power Transfer technology, the cradle can charge the reader's battery without contact, with a performance that depends on the type of power used.
The cradle has LED indicators and a touch button and IP65 protection standard. When the button is pressed for 2 seconds, all barcode readers configured, properly powered on and connected to the same cradle will emit a sound and light signal within 5 seconds. This function is useful to check which readers are connected to a certain base station and to detect lost readers.
