Datalogic PowerScan PD9130 | Industrial Corded 1D Scanner | Green Spot | 3GL | IP65 | RS-232/USB/KBW | Black/Yellow
Overview
The Datalogic PowerScan PD9130 is a corded industrial 1D barcode scanner that delivers laser-sharp precision with all the advantages of linear imaging technology. At its core is Datalogic's patented Green Spot technology — a green beam projected directly onto the decoded barcode confirms every successful read visually, at any distance, at any angle. The exclusive 3GL (3 Green Lights) system adds dual top-mounted LEDs for supplementary visual feedback, making it impossible to miss a good read even in noisy or fast-paced environments.
Built for industrial punishment, the PD9130 withstands 50 drops from 2.0 m to concrete and is sealed to IP65. It operates from -20°C to +50°C and is immune to direct sunlight and harsh ambient lighting. Every unit supports RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, and USB through the same multi-interface connector — one scanner, any host system. This listing is the scanner-only unit; an interface cable is required and sold separately.

Use Cases
Warehouse & Logistics: Reads barcodes at speed in aisles, on receiving docks, and in back-office applications — immune to sunlight and forklift vibration environments.
Manufacturing Shop Floor: Reads high-density 2.5 mil codes on component labels; the Green Spot confirms every read visually in noisy environments where beeper tones are inaudible.
Suspended / Overhead Applications: The built-in metal tether hook enables the scanner to hang from a workstation or conveyor line for hands-free access.
Multi-System Integration: Multi-interface (RS-232, USB, KBW) in one unit means the same scanner works with legacy POS systems, modern USB hosts, and keyboard-wedge terminals without purchasing different models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PD9130 come with a cable?
No. The base PD9130 SKU is scanner only — an interface cable is required and sold separately. USB kits (with CAB-524) and RS-232 kits (with CAB-433 or CAB-434) are available as separate part numbers.
What is Green Spot technology?
Green Spot is Datalogic's patented technology that projects the green scanning beam directly onto the barcode at the moment of a successful decode. Unlike a simple LED on the scanner body, the confirmation appears on the barcode itself — giving operators instant visual feedback without looking away from the product, even at extended scanning distances.
Does the PD9130 scan 2D barcodes such as QR codes?
No. The PD9130 is a 1D linear imager only. It reads all major 1D symbologies including GS1 DataBar, Code 128, and UPC/EAN, but does not decode 2D codes. For 2D scanning, consider the Datalogic PowerScan PD9530 or a Zebra DS3600-series scanner.
Can the front window be replaced in the field?
Yes. The PD9130's front window is designed to be replaced in the field without tools — a significant operational advantage in industrial environments where scratched or damaged windows would otherwise require sending the device for service.
