Datalogic PowerScan DPM Evo PM9501-DDPM433RB - barcodescanner

When standard barcode scanners fail on laser-etched, dot-peened, or chemically marked surfaces, the PowerScan DPM Evo PM9501-DDPM433RB delivers the decoding power needed for direct part marking in the toughest industrial environments. Built on the Datalogic STAR Cordless System 2.0, this handheld 2D area imager combines wide VGA resolution with a dark red illumination and 4-dot aimer, ensuring reliable reads on low-contrast and reflective DPM codes. Its rugged IP65-rated housing withstands dust, water jets, and repeated drops to concrete from 2.5 meters, while the high-capacity lithium-ion battery supports up to 120,000 scans per charge. The yellow-and-black design is instantly recognizable on the plant floor, and the integrated Datalogic Green Spot provides clear good-read feedback even in noisy settings.

Highlights

• Decodes 1D, 2D, postal, stacked, and direct part marks (DPM) with 15% minimum print contrast
• Datalogic STAR Cordless System 2.0 radio (433 MHz) with up to 50 m range in open air
• IP65-rated enclosure and 2.5 m drop resistance to concrete for harsh industrial use
• Wide VGA sensor (752 x 480 pixels) with 4-dot aimer and dark red 620–630 nm LED illumination
• 3350 mAh lithium-ion battery delivers up to 120,000 reads per charge
• Multi-interface cradle support: USB, RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, Ethernet
• Audible beeper, good read LED, Datalogic Green Spot, and battery status LED for clear feedback

In daily use

Operators appreciate the PM9501-DDPM433RB for its fast, accurate scanning of DPM codes on metal, plastic, and rubber components. The cordless design eliminates cable wear and tripping hazards, while the 50-meter radio range allows freedom to move around large work cells or loading docks. The scanner’s ergonomic shape and balanced weight reduce fatigue during long shifts, and the battery can be hot-swapped without downtime. When paired with the appropriate cradle (sold separately), the device integrates seamlessly with existing WMS, ERP, or MES systems via USB, RS-232, keyboard wedge, or Ethernet. The IP65 rating means it can be rinsed off after dusty or greasy jobs, and the drop resistance ensures it survives accidental falls from workbenches or forklifts.
