Battery-Free Wireless Area-Imaging Scanner for Healthcare

The Honeywell Xenon™ Extreme Performance

(XP) 1952h-bf area-imaging scanner incorporates
the latest in battery-free technology, offering
the freedom of Bluetooth® wireless technology
without the maintenance hassles or long recharge
time associated with traditional batteries.

Traditional cordless scanners are powered by bat teries, requiring long recharging times

and battery maintenance. The Xenon XP 1952h-bf scanner runs on supercapacitors,
making it capable of achieving a full charge in under 60 seconds when using a

powered USB port or external wall adapter. The Xenon XP 1952h-bf scanner typically

provides at least 490 scans without recharging. This makes the scanner ideal for

scanning applications at the bedside such as medicines administration or specimen

collection. With its quick charge feature, you’ll minimize problems associated

with dead batteries like manual overrides and unnecessary IT suppor t calls. And

with no batter y, a common maintenance hassle is removed, an ongoing expense

is eliminated, and the scanner is lighter and more environmentally friendly.

The Xenon XP 1952h-bf wireless scanner of fers
fast, accurate barcode scanning without the
long recharge time, expense, and environmental
impact of a batter y.

In addition to the Xenon scanner’s legendary reliability, the Xenon XP 1952h-bf

scanner delivers aggressive barcode scanning performance – even on poor-quality

or damaged barcodes – which also helps to minimize manual overrides. An integrated

Bluetooth radio gives clinicians complete freedom of movement around patients,

equipment, family members, and patient and family belongings. The Xenon XP

1952h-bf scanner is ready for prolonged hospital use, with a disinfectant-ready

housing that resists the harmful ef fects of harsh cleaning agents commonly used

in healthcare environments and minimizes the spread of infectious diseases.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

When fully charged,
the scanner can
typically scan over
490 UPC/EAN codes
without the need
for recharging. The
scanner is useable in
less than 20 seconds.

Supercapacitors hold
their charge for hours
when fully charged. So
clinicians who forget
to place their scanner
in the charger prior
to break won’t impact
operations upon return.

Two independently
configurable recharge
alerts remind clinicians
to place the scanner
back into the base for
charging, ensuring
continuous operation.

The Xenon XP 1952h-bf
scanner is fully charged
in under 60 seconds
when a powered USB or
external power supply
is used and under two
minutes with a simple
USB connection.

When the scanner is
placed in the base, the
ready-to-scan LED
typically flashes in
less than 20 seconds
to notif y the clinician
that there is sufficient
power to support
over 100 scans.
