VS420-DPE questions
VS420-DPE or VS320-DPE?
Both read the same: 29° × 23° field of view, the same depth of field and the same lighting. The ReadCell VS320-DPE has the industrial housing (1.8 m drop, IP64) and an Ethernet version with PLC protocols. The VS420-DPE is lighter at 147 g, with a 1.2 m drop rating and IP54.
Which interface should I order?
RS232, USB HID or USB COM. Each is a separate hardware version, so tell us which one when you order.
Is there a cordless version?
Yes, the ReadCell VS422-DPE, with Bluetooth 4.2 or 2.4 GHz via its cradle.
Can it carry our brand?
Yes. See OEM and private label for the options; MOQ is quoted per project.
