PowerScan barcode readers are certified for use in hazardous areas Zone 1/21 (for Zone 21 only wired version) and are available as wired versions as well as a wireless system, consisting of a wireless handheld, base station, and charger.

With PowerScan all common 1D-barcode families can be captured. Patented technology effectively reads damaged and difficult-to-read barcodes. The rugged housing ensures full functionality, even after being dropped from a height of two meters.

Three green LEDs located on the top and back of the barcode reader are visible from any angle and confirm that the code has been read successfully. Configuration is fast and is simplified by capturing system barcodes.
