Datalogic PowerScan PBT9100 Barcode Scanner (PBT9100-RBK10EU)

The Datalogic PowerScan PBT9100 is a rugged cordless 1D barcode scanner from Datalogic's PowerScan 9100 series, built for manufacturing, warehouses and logistics. Its linear imager projects a bright, laser-like green scanning line and reads all common 1D barcodes down to 2.5 mil – standard EAN-13 codes from 2 to 61 cm and large 40 mil labels from up to 2.3 m. Its Bluetooth® 3.0 Class 1 radio reaches up to 100 m in open air and links the scanner to a PowerScan Bluetooth base station – up to 7 scanners can share one base – or directly to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, tablet or mobile computer (HID or SPP profile). A removable 3350 mAh Li-ion battery lasts for 80,000+ reads per charge, the housing is sealed to IP65 and survives 50 drops from 2.0 m onto concrete, and the scanner comes with a 3-year Datalogic warranty. Please note: the PBT9100 reads 1D (linear) barcodes only – not QR codes, Data Matrix or other 2D codes.

This is the PBT9100-RBK10EU version. It is supplied as a complete USB kit with the BC9030-BT base station/charger, a 2 m USB cable and a power supply with EU power cord – ready to connect and scan.

Key Features

• Bluetooth® 3.0 wireless technology – Class 1 radio with a range of up to 100 m in open air to the base station; up to 7 scanners can work with one base (piconet), and the scanner can also pair directly with a Bluetooth PC, tablet or mobile computer using the HID or SPP profile, with data encryption and scanner authentication.
• Laser-like green scanning line – Datalogic's linear imaging technology projects a bright green line that is as easy to aim as a laser, with the durability of a linear imager that has no moving parts.
• Reads all common 1D barcodes – EAN/UPC (incl. add-ons and coupons), ISBN, Code 128 / GS1-128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, GS1 DataBar, Codabar, Code 93 and more, plus the stacked Codablock F – down to 2.5 mil and from 15% print contrast.
• Wide working range – standard EAN-13 codes from 2 to 61 cm, 10 mil Code 39 up to 66 cm and large 40 mil labels up to 2.3 m, with generous reading angles (pitch ±75°, roll ±45°, skew ±70°).
• 1D only – please check your barcodes – the PBT9100 does not read QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417 or other 2D codes. If you need them, choose the PowerScan PBT9600 cordless 2D imager.
• Hot-swappable battery for multi-shift work – the removable 3350 mAh Li-ion battery lasts for 80,000+ reads per charge and is replaced in about 3 seconds; it charges in the base in about 4.5 hours with the external power supply, and spare batteries plus a 4-slot charger keep 24-hour operations running.
• Clear good-read feedback – Datalogic 3GL™ (Three Green Lights), the Green Spot projected onto the code, dual good-read LEDs and a loud beeper confirm every read, even in noisy halls.
• Built for industry – IP65 sealing against dust and water jets, 50 drops from 2.0 m onto concrete, 20 kV ESD protection and an operating range of −20 °C to 50 °C.
• Flexible base stations – the kits include the BC9030-BT base/charger (RS-232, USB and keyboard wedge); the BC9130-BT adds a spare-battery charging slot and the BC9180-BT connects to standard or industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, Modbus). Free Datalogic Aladdin configuration tool, OPOS/JavaPOS utilities and EASEOFCARE service plans.

Ideal Applications

Technical Specifications

How to read the part numbers: RB means the removable battery is included. Versions ending in K10 are USB kits and versions ending in K20 RS-232 kits, both with the BC9030-BT base station, a power supply and – as the final EU indicates – an EU power cord; the PBT9100-RB without a K suffix is the scanner only. Need 2D codes as well? Choose the PowerScan PBT9600 cordless 2D imager. Prefer a display, a keypad or the long-range 433 MHz STAR radio? See the PowerScan PM9100.
