Description
The Newland FM415 Bass is a fixed-mount 2D scanner built for fast, simple scanning at a fixed point. Newland positions it as a way to move from 1D to 2D reading without a big jump in budget, and it is listed for hospitality and leisure settings.
A 640 x 480 CMOS imager reads standard 1D codes and 2D symbologies including QR, DataMatrix, PDF417 and Aztec. Part number NLS-FM415-U ships as a USB kit, so it can be connected to a PC or terminal straight away.
Sensors that help in poor light
An infrared sensor and a light sensor work together to keep scanning reliable in low light. The scanner uses a white LED for illumination and a red LED aimer, and Newland says it adjusts supplementary lighting to the light reflected from the barcode, which also helps with codes shown on phone screens.
Hands-free or manual scanning
Three scan modes are listed: Sense, Continuous and Level. Newland says it can be set up for hands-free scanning, or a manual trigger button can be used instead. It can also be set for close or long-distance reading depending on the application.
Compact and weather-resistant
The housing measures 49 x 69 x 20 mm and weighs 64.6 g,. With an IP54 rating, Newland says it can be placed in a housing and used outdoors, and it has a 1.5 m drop rating. Settings are managed with the EasySet configuration tool.
