Datalogic PowerScan PM9600 | HP Cordless Industrial Scanner | 433 MHz | Display + Keypad | Green Spot | (RS-232 Kit — Scanner + Cradle + Cable Incl.)
The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600-DHP433RB is a heavy-duty cordless industrial barcode scanner built for demanding manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse environments. With an HP dual-camera scan engine, IP65/IP67 sealing, 2.5 m drop resistance, and Datalogic's Green Spot good-read feedback, the PM9600 delivers reliable scanning across standard and high-density barcodes — shift after shift. This RS-232 kit includes the scanner with display and 4-key keypad, cradle, and RS-232 cable, communicating over Datalogic's 433 MHz STAR radio.
The High Performance (HP) scan engine uses two cameras to cover both standard and high-density barcode reads in a single pass. There is no mode switching — the scanner reads whatever barcode it sees, whether a wide pallet label or a dense GS1 DataMatrix on a small component. This makes the PM9600-DHP the right choice when barcode density varies across the workflow.
Datalogic's Green Spot projects a visible green dot onto the barcode at the moment of a successful read — giving the operator instant visual confirmation without needing to look at a screen. This is especially valuable in noisy industrial environments where audio feedback is unreliable, and on damaged or dirty barcodes where a beep alone isn't sufficient confirmation.
The PM9600 is rated IP65 and IP67 — fully protected against dust and able to withstand water jets and short immersion. It survives 2.5 m drops onto hard concrete and its trigger is rated for 10 million actuations. Built for environments where standard commercial scanners fail within months.
The DHP433 variant uses Datalogic's STAR Cordless System at 433 MHz — a proven industrial radio protocol designed for reliable communication in RF-dense environments. The integrated display and 4-key keypad allow standalone operation, menu navigation, and visual feedback at the scanner itself without relying on a host screen.

What does HP (High Performance) mean on the PM9600?
The HP variant uses a dual-camera scan engine that simultaneously handles standard-range and high-density barcodes. You don't need to switch modes — it reads both in a single scan.
What is the 433 MHz STAR radio?
STAR (Scanning Technology for Automatic Radio) is Datalogic's proprietary industrial radio protocol. At 433 MHz it provides reliable communication in RF-noisy factory environments where Bluetooth may be less stable.
Does the PM9600 support wireless charging?
Yes — the PM9600 is compatible with Datalogic's wireless charging system using inductive technology. The standard RS-232 cradle in this kit charges via cable; wireless charging cradles are available separately.
Is this scanner suitable for outdoor use?
Yes — IP65/IP67 sealing provides full dust protection and resistance to water jets and brief immersion, making it suitable for outdoor loading docks and wet processing areas.
