Introduction

Product Overview

The FA480 Fixed Installation 2D Scanner is an automatic identification device engineered for seamless integration into stationary equipment across demanding industrial environments. Built around a 1280 × 1080 pixel image sensor and illuminated by a warm white LED, this compact scanner reads barcodes with a minimum print contrast of 15% reflectance difference, ensuring reliable capture even on low-contrast or challenging surfaces. It supports a range of field-of-view configurations—including DP, HD, SR, MR, and UW models—with angles spanning from 39.7° × 33.1° up to 73.2° × 63.8°, allowing close-range reading of large-format labels or precision work on ultra-high-density codes. The device is designed for fixed installation, offering flexible front or side sweeping directions to suit equipment layouts.

Performance-wise, the FA480 leverages AI imaging technology to effortlessly decode complex, damaged, or difficult-to-read barcodes at speeds up to 120 fps, delivering high-speed, stable readouts even in fast-moving scenarios. Its high motion tolerance makes it ideal for conveyor lines and automated machinery, where it can reliably capture high-speed moving barcodes without missed reads. The scanner also supports DPM (Direct Part Marking) and ultra-high-density barcodes, with minimum resolutions of 2.0mil Code39 and 4.0mil DataMatrix/QR for the DP model, and 2.3mil Code39 / 4.5mil DM·QR for the HD model. This professional-grade capability suits IVD (in vitro diagnostics), industrial manufacturing, electronics, and automotive sectors, while multiple model configurations ensure a fit for diverse applications.

Typical applications for the FA480 include in vitro diagnostics equipment, reverse vending machines, factory automation lines, and other fixed scanning points where space is constrained—its compact body integrates easily, and USB, RS232, and universal interfaces simplify connectivity. The Intelli Button™ enables assisted rapid positioning during setup, streamlining installation. When selecting a model, confirm your required field of view and minimum resolution against the specifications above, as each configuration targets different reading distances and code densities.
