## At a glance

- **IP68** Water & dust proof
- **−10 to 60 °C** Operating range
- **23** 1D & 2D symbologies
- **115200 baud** Default RS232 rate

Built for places a handheld consumer scanner will not survive. The optics sit
behind an IP68 enclosure in a powder-coated metal body, so the unit can be
hosed down, splashed or submerged with no cabinet around it - a food-processing
line, a weighbridge, a dispatch gate.

It reads all common 1D and 2D symbologies over a single DB9 RS232 connection,
with optional power on Pin 9 so one cable carries data and supply to the scan
point. Every setting, baud rate, symbology set and factory reset included, is
configured by scanning a printed code. There is no driver to install.
