The Atex BCSi-C enables reliable barcode scanning in industrial environments where portability is not required. The associated EXMod base station provides a choice of hard-wired RS232 or RS422 serial data outputs. Intrinsic safety certification for the both the scanner and base station means they can be used in hazardous classified locations. Perfect for use in the pharmaceutical, paint, chemical, and other industries. It may also be used to replace other-brand corded scanners where the intrinsically safe interface safety parameters are compatible.

A rugged stainless steel IP67 housing stands up to the rough & tumble of industrial environments and has been ergonomically designed for easy operator use. It provides interactive vibration feedback to confirm successful scanning in noisy situations, and the bifocal scan engine captures the maximum decoding area. Built-in illumination enables use in conditions from total darkness to bright sunlight.

All of the most popular 1D and 2D barcode symbologies are supported. Auto calibration and operational settings are established by scanning test barcode patterns provided in the instruction manual. The scanner projects an aiming pattern with center cross marker.
