SKU: 

DS3608-XR60003VZWW

Bluetooth connectivity sets the Zebra DS3608-XR60003VZWW apart within the DS3608-XR family, pairing a 3100 mAh Lithium Ion battery and 100 mA standby current with cordless operation for industrial and warehouse environments. Powered by the SE58 scan engine, it covers a scanning distance of 104.99 ft across a 42-degree horizontal by 27-degree vertical field of view, resolving Code 39 from 5 mil to 100 mil and DataMatrix from 10 mil, with a 25% minimum print contrast. The 1D and 2D imager handles Code 39, Code 128, PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code, Aztec, DotCode and Digimarc digital watermarks, with reading angles of 60-degree skew, 60-degree pitch and 360-degree roll. Dual IP65/IP68 sealing and a 10.86 oz chassis rated for -22 F (-30 C) to 122 F (50 C) operation back its use in manufacturing, warehouse, outdoor and freezer applications, with 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity tolerance and 25kV air electrostatic discharge resistance.

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.
