Designed for unattended use
Automatic sensing and wide coverage mean no trigger and no training for users.
Scan Module
Compact embedded 2D scan module for unattended terminals


01Overview
The EM48 is a presentation-style scan module with a very wide 74° × 65° field of view. Codes are read from almost touching the window out to 90 mm, which suits terminals where users hold a phone or ticket up to the reader.
USB and RS232 connections, LED and buzzer signalling and a 5 V supply make it straightforward to add to medical, payment and kiosk equipment.
02Key features
Automatic sensing and wide coverage mean no trigger and no training for users.
USB and RS232 connections with LED and buzzer signal outputs.
Reads 3 mil codes with ±70° skew and pitch tolerance and full 360° roll.
Reliable on phone screens as well as printed tickets and receipts.
