The Newland FM430 Barracuda is a high-performance, compact, fixed-mount scanner built for seamless integration into kiosks, self-service terminals, production lines, and access control points. Featuring a cutting-edge Megapixel camera, the FM430 is designed to aggressively and reliably capture virtually any 1D or complex 2D barcode, including those displayed on mobile phone screens.

Key Features for Optimal Performance

• First Megapixel Scanner: High-resolution sensor captures even damaged, low-contrast, or densely packed codes with speed and ease.

• Superior Motion Tolerance: Equipped with an exceptional 2.5m/s motion tolerance, it can rapidly and reliably capture fast-moving items.

• Quick-Switch Mode: Allows users to instantly toggle between "Normal" mode (optimized for paper) and a specific mode tailored for reading barcodes from bright mobile phone screens.

• Comfortable Illumination: Features soft, white LED illumination and a 10° angled design for comfort.

• Infrared (IR) Trigger: The built-in sensor detects the presence of a barcode instantly, ensuring speedy, first-time reads.

• Durability: Built to last with IP52 rated sealing and 1.2m drop resistance to concrete.

• Aimer Type:

  • Standard (No L): Uses a Green LED aimer (a dot) which is less intrusive, often preferred in consumer-facing environments.

  • "L" Models: Use a visible Red Laser aimer (crosshair or lines), which is easier for users to spot and aim in bright lighting or complex applications.

• Cable Length:

  • "00" Models: Feature a short 50 cm cable, ideal for mounting directly inside a compact kiosk or terminal body where the host PC is very close.

  • "U" / "RC" Models: Feature a long 2 meter extension cable for applications where the host PC is further away, offering maximum installation flexibility.

• Interface/Power:

  • USB ("U" / "00"): Power is supplied directly via the USB connection.

  • RS-232 ("RC"): Requires external power, which is conveniently included via the multi-plug adapter.
