2D Scan Engines
N670X Series
Ultra-Slim, Undecoded 2D Imager,
SR (Standard Range) and HD (High Density)
Optics, Advanced Laser and LED Aimers
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) free 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 (SR optics typical read range) and provides an
increased read range by 40% compared to its predecessor. Its white
LED illumination enhances image capture accuracy while the HD optics
allow reading of higher resolution codes (down to 2.5 mils on Code 39 1D
barcodes and down to 5 mils Data Matrix and QR barcodes). Equipped with
its HD Optics, the N670X can read the new DotCode for tobacco products
traceability down to a resolution of 5 mils.
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 choice of high brightness LED (2X brighter than
the current system) and laser aiming systems provides the flexibility to
better suit customer application requirements and environments while
further improving the aimer visibility for the users. The lower typical power
consumption (210 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 N360X 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 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 may 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.
• Wider operational
temperature range
increases potential
applications.
N670X Series

optics: SR optics read
UPC codes up to
573 mm (22.5 in), and
HD optics enable
reading of DotCode,
2,5 mil C39, and 5 mil
Data Matrix high
resolution codes.
• Delivers motion
tolerance of up to 6 m/s,
enabling operational
effectiveness.
• Lower power
consumption increases
battery life.
• Compatible with
Honeywell’s N660X
Series and N360X
Series for reduced
integration time and
increased design
flexibility.
• Parallel or MIPI
interface availability
helps simplify
integration.
