The rugged LS3408-ER handheld and corded scanner from Motorola® Symbol® delivers superior performance and versatility for your scan-intensive industrial applications. In the yard, warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant or retail store, the LS 3408ER handheld scanner offers best-in-class performance, excellent reliability and user-friendly ergonomics to create a more productive mobile environment. Multiple on-board interfaces ensure flexible plug and play host connectivity.
Advanced Data Capture Features for Industrial-Grade Applications
The LS3408-ER reads barcodes from as far away as 45 feet (14.6 meters) and as close as 5 inches (13 cm) to give you the versatility that's necessary for today's industrial applications. The rugged housing, sealed to IP65 standards, withstands repeated drops of up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) to concrete, ensuring limited downtime. In fact, the LS3408-ER maintained its reliability when subjected to multiple drops in a specialized tumble test conducted in the widely recognized Motorola Symbol Industrial Design Labs.
For applications requiring quick access and convenient storage, the LS3408-ER features a built-in metal hook for attachment to a pulley. Two large LED-enhancing windows and an extra loud 80 decibel (db) beeper are strategically placed on the scanner for clear and audible feedback to users.
