2D Scan Engines
N670X Series
Ultra-Slim, Undecoded 2D Imager
The N670X Series 2D barcode scan engine is Honeywell’s slimmest
2D imager. It is designed to provide higher performance and reliability,
simplify integration into mobile devices, and enable increased barcode
scanning speeds to meet higher-volume application requirements.
Parallel or MIPI interface availability helps simplify integration into
mobile devices that require the most current, as well as traditional,
processor interfaces. Its compact dimensions (6,8 mm [0.27 in] height
x 16,2 mm [0.64 in] depth) frees up more room for other technology
integration.
Read range and readability have been leveled up in the N670X Series.
Based on a 1 Mpx global shutter sensor, it can read Code 39 20 mils at
0,8 m [31.5 in] distance (typical read range) and provides an increased
read range by 40% compared to its predecessor. Its white LED
illumination enhances image capture accuracy while its new sensor
allows reading of higher resolution codes (down to 3 mils on Code 39
1D barcodes).
With notable maximum motion tolerance of 6 m/s [236 in/s], the
N670X Series can read moving barcodes, enabling increased scanning
speed and productivity. The red laser aimer provides the flexibility to
better suit customer application requirements, and the lower power
consumption (205 mA at 3.6 V, maximum) increases the battery life
provided by a single charge.
This product is electrically backward-compatible with Honeywell's
N660X Series and N3601 Series, which all use the same connector,
reducing integration time and design costs while increasing design
flexibility and choice. All three scan engine families are considerably
slim and can be paired up to fit in compact
enclosures, enabling you to offer two different
levels of barcode scanning performance to
your customers without a housing change or
additional accessory design.
The N670X can help the enterprise mobility,
tablet, sled and wearable device maker lead
the way in offering products that can exceed
general industry standards pertaining
to scanning performance, reliability and
integration flexibility. Built on Honeywell’s
latest decoding and imaging technology, this
product is backed up by a savvy engineering
team readily available to offer you support for
your integration needs.
Potential applications include use in
professional-grade mobile devices such as
tablets, wearable scanners, mobile terminals,
accessories in retail stores, warehouses, and
healthcare facilities, as well as delivery, pick-
up/drop-off, and field servicing.
• At 6,8 mm, the slim
height makes it easier
to fit today's and
tomorrow's compact
devices.
• Increased range - can
read UPC code up to
573 mm [22.5 in]
away, making it more
easy to scan out-of-
reach codes.
