Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro Fixed-Mount Barcode Reader

1D/2D fixed-mount CMOS imagerGreen LED and red laser2 m RS-232 extensionMultiplug adapter

The Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro short-range fixed-mount reader is supplied as the NLS-FM431-SR-RC RS-232 kit. Its CMOS imager reads 1D and 2D barcodes, including printed and mobile-screen codes, for integration into a compatible kiosk, POS or automated scanning setup. Host, mounting or enclosure provisions, and integration software are separate.

Best For: For integrators building a fixed-mount scanning point into a compatible kiosk, POS or automated application, who need the exact RS-232 kit with both laser and LED aiming. It is a reader, not a complete terminal.
Before you order: Plan for a compatible host, mounting or enclosure provisions, and integration/configuration software; these are separate. The kit includes an RS-232 extension, not the USB extension supplied with the SR-U version. USB is listed as a device interface, but its generation and connector type are not specified. The multiplug adapter’s supplied plug heads and AC rating are not detailed, so confirm the appropriate connection for your setup. IP54 is not waterproofing, and outdoor use still requires suitable installation. No numeric scan-rate or motion-speed figure is specified.

What's in the Box

  • Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro reader
  • 2 m RS-232 extension cable
  • Multiplug adapter

What It Means in Practice

  • The 2 m RS-232 extension and multiplug adapter are confirmed for this SR-RC kit; the separate SR-U variant has a USB extension instead.
  • Reading-range examples depend on barcode type and module size: EAN-13 13 mil is 55–460 mm, QR 15 mil is 40–310 mm, DataMatrix 10 mil is 50–230 mm, and Code 39 5 mil is 65–230 mm.
  • The unit accepts 5 VDC ±5%. Operating current is 258.5 mA typical and 400 mA maximum; standby current is 93.72 mA at 5 V.
  • It is rated IP54 and for operation from −20°C to 60°C, but it is not waterproof or submersible; installation or an enclosure must suit the exposure.

What Will Not Work

  • A compatible host, mounting or enclosure provisions, and integration software are required and are not listed as included.
  • This exact kit is RS-232, with a 2 m RS-232 extension; it is not the SR-U kit with USB extension. The device also lists USB support, but USB generation and connector type are not specified.
  • Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are not verified as supported interfaces; the pictured modular scanner socket is not Ethernet.
  • The multiplug adapter’s plug-head set and AC input/current rating are not specified; confirm the connection required for your setup.
  • IP54 does not mean waterproof or submersible. No numeric scan-rate or motion-speed specification is provided.
  • Do not stare into the aiming beam; follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
