Falcon® PT40 Compact Bar Code Data Collection Terminal

Specifications

 

Compact Data Collection The new Falcon PT40 is a very compact, sleek portable data terminal, sized to fit in your shirt pocket or on a belt clip like a cell phone. Complete with integrated bar code laser and multiple memory options, the PT40 is powerful enough to handle most any batch data collection task. The Falcon PT40 is designed primarily for retail and light industrial applications where low cost and an extremely small form factor are desired. Small in Size, Big on Features With its built-in laser, the PT40 is very snappy at scanning bar codes at distances from 2 inches/5cm up to 34 inches/87cm. The PT40 offers memory options from 256K up to 2MB for large look-up files or extensive data storage. The PT40 even supports the ability to instantly switch between up to 4 applications, providing added flexibility. Additionally, the PT40 features a long lasting Lithium-Ion main battery, providing many hours, or even days of use between charges. Backed by a rechargeable Lithium backup battery, the PT40 will retain its memory for 3-5 days even when the main battery is completely discharged. A full 26 key keypad is laid out virtually identical to a typical cell phone, providing easy transition for the average user. The crisp display is even backlit for low-light situations. Tested to repeated 1.2 meter (4 foot) drops to concrete, the PT40 is designed to handle demanding data collection tasks. Powerful Programming Tool The PT Program Generator (PPG) is a Windows based programming tool that features a graphical user interface to quickly and easily create your PT40 portable application. The latest version of PPG allows an existing PT2000 or TopGun application to run without modification on the PT40 (with a simple re-compile). International Capabilities The PT40 was designed for data collection users worldwide. Initially supporting Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional (Big5) fonts, the PT40 will continue to be expanded to support other double byte languages in the near future. Ease of Use The PT40 comes with PAL, a simple, yet effective application pre-loaded on every terminal. PAL allows you to start using the PT40 right out of the box to scan bar codes and collect basic inventory data. Simply drop the PT40 in the docking station (or connect the direct connect cable) and send your collected data to your PC.
