The Zebra DS3608-DP2RF50BZVW ships as a kit configured with a serial host interface, positioning it for integration with Siemens Industrial Ethernet environments via the EA3600 Network Connect for Automation without third-party conversion equipment. This corded, handheld 2D imager reads the full range of direct part mark types — laser etch, ink mark, chemical etch, inkjet mold, cast, thermal spray and dot peen — alongside 1D and 2D barcodes including Code 39, Code 128, DataMatrix, QR Code, PDF417, Aztec and GS1 DataBar, among others. IP67 sealing makes the unit dust proof, spray proof and waterproof, while a rated drop survival of 8 ft. to concrete and 5,000-tumble resilience define its rugged ceiling. The gray chassis measures 7.3 in tall, 3 in wide and 5.2 in deep at 10.72 oz, and the scanner carries RoHS compliance and a 3-year limited warranty.
