Datalogic PowerScan PBT9600-AR | Industrial Cordless 2D Barcode Scanner | Auto Range | Bluetooth 5.0 | USB Kit (Scanner + Base + Cable Incl.)
The Datalogic PowerScan PBT9600-AR is a premium industrial cordless barcode scanner engineered for demanding environments. Auto Range imaging, Bluetooth 5.0, IP65/IP67 dual sealing, and a 2.5 m drop rating combine in a device that reads faster than the competition and survives whatever the floor throws at it.
The AR (Auto Range) imager adapts seamlessly from near-contact to long-distance scanning — no manual adjustment, no mode switching. One scanner handles goods receiving, shelf replenishment, and high-racking in a single shift, delivering read rates 20% faster than competitive products.
Dual IP65/IP67 rated — protected against dust, high-pressure water jets, and immersion. Withstands 2.5 m drops to hard concrete and a trigger rated to 10 million actuations. Built for continuous industrial use without downtime.
Bluetooth 5.0 delivers faster pairing, more stable connections, and greater range than previous generations. Inductive wireless charging via the base keeps the scanner topped up without fumbling for cables at the end of every shift.
This kit includes the PBT9600-AR scanner, a charging/communication base, and USB cable. Everything needed for USB host deployment is included — plug in, pair, and start scanning.

Bluetooth 5.0 offers faster data transfer, more reliable connections in RF-dense environments (multiple devices in the same area), and improved range compared to Bluetooth 4.x. It also supports faster pairing and reconnection after the scanner returns to the base.
Yes. The PBT9600 uses inductive wireless charging — simply place the scanner in the base and it charges automatically without any cable connection to the scanner itself.
Yes. The RBK10EU kit includes the PBT9600-AR scanner, charging/communication base, and USB cable. No additional accessories are required for a USB host deployment.
