Datalogic PowerScan PM9600-DKHP | Industrial Cordless 2D Scanner | HP Imager | Display & 16-Key Keypad | 433 MHz | RS-232 Kit
The Datalogic PowerScan PM9600-DKHP is a premium industrial cordless barcode scanner built for operations that demand more than just scanning. With a High Performance 2D imager, integrated display, and full 16-key keypad, workers can perform complex guided workflows, enter alphanumeric data, and receive on-scanner feedback — all without leaving the workstation or returning to a terminal.
The DKHP variant features a full 16-key keypad — significantly more capable than the 4-key DHP variant. Workers can enter alphanumeric data, navigate multi-step menus, and confirm workflow actions directly on the scanner. Ideal for pick-and-verify, quality control, and data entry workflows that require operator input at the point of scan.
The HP imager decodes standard and difficult barcodes — damaged labels, poor print quality, screen-displayed codes — at speed and omni-directionally. No alignment required; point and scan at any angle.
433 MHz radio frequency delivers robust wireless connectivity with excellent penetration through metal shelving, machinery, and concrete walls — reliable where Bluetooth struggles or a dedicated RF infrastructure is already deployed.
This kit is configured for RS-232 serial host connectivity — suited to industrial controllers, legacy POS systems, and fixed terminals with serial ports. Verify your host has an RS-232 port before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both have an integrated display and HP 2D imager. The key difference is the keypad: DHP has a 4-key keypad for basic navigation and confirmation; DKHP has a full 16-key keypad for alphanumeric input and more complex operator workflows. Choose DKHP when workers need to enter data or navigate multi-step processes at the scanner.
The 16-key keypad allows alphanumeric data entry, multi-step menu navigation, quantity input, and workflow confirmation directly on the scanner — without requiring a separate terminal or mobile device for operator input.
433 MHz RF penetrates metal-heavy environments — shelving, machinery, concrete walls — more reliably than Bluetooth. It is the preferred choice when Bluetooth connections are unstable or when a 433 MHz RF infrastructure is already in place.
This SKU (RK20) is RS-232 only. For USB host connectivity, order the RK10 variant of the PM9600-DKHP instead.
