Black · 2D Fixed Mount Scanner · 1280×800 CMOS · Dual Aimer · USB · IP54
The Newland FM431 Barracuda Pro is a high-performance fixed mount 2D imager designed for demanding POS, manufacturing, automated vending and outdoor applications. It combines a 1280×800 CMOS sensor with high motion tolerance and dual aiming — laser for precision targeting and LED for customer-safe, consumer-facing deployments. Advanced Exposure Control handles everything from direct sunlight to reflective barcodes, while IP54 sealing and a -20°C to +60°C operating range make it Newland's most all-weather fixed mount scanner.

BUYER'S GUIDE
For whom: Systems integrators, OEM manufacturers, retail POS builders and industrial automation engineers who need a compact, high-performance fixed mount 2D scanner for embedding into kiosks, vending machines, conveyor lines or outdoor terminals.
Real reason to buy: Dual aiming in a single 56 g unit eliminates the need to choose between laser precision and LED safety — you get both, configurable per use case. The FM430 form-factor compatibility makes it a zero-effort upgrade for existing installations.
Know before you buy: This is an OEM/embedded scanner — no enclosure or stand is included. Mounting via the base mounting points is required. Configuration is via programming barcodes or RS-232 command protocol. The 2m USB cable is included; RS-232 cable is sold separately.
Verdict: The FM431 Barracuda Pro is the definitive upgrade for any FM430-based installation and the first choice for new fixed mount 2D deployments where environmental robustness, motion tolerance and dual aiming are priorities.
