Description
ico-plus ico-minus
The Zebra DS3608-SR is a corded, ultra-rugged area-imager barcode scanner built for industrial and commercial environments where durability and consistent read performance are non-negotiable. Designed for warehouse, manufacturing, and delivery operations, it captures both 1D and 2D barcodes — including direct part marks — from near contact up to 60" away, even on damaged, dirty, or poorly printed labels. Its IP65- and IP67-rated housing is dustproof, sprayproof, and waterproof, and it withstands multiple 8.0 ft./2.4 m drops to concrete. The scanner connects via USB, serial, Ethernet, or Bluetooth interfaces, integrating cleanly into existing host systems. Operating across -22°F (-30°C) to 122°F (50°C), it performs reliably in extreme environments, including cold storage. A 36-month limited warranty underscores its long-term value for demanding workflows.
