Datalogic QBT2500 Product Overview & Advantages
The Datalogic QuickScan QBT2500 is an entry-level 2D Bluetooth barcode scanner designed to bring high-performance cordless scanning to retail checkout counters, warehouse receiving, hospitality, and light manufacturing environments.
Equipped with a high-resolution 1 Megapixel sensor and flexible Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, the QBT2500 delivers maximum operator mobility and reliable reading performance across digital screens and printed paper labels alike.
Datalogic QBT2500 Core Operational Advantages
- Long Wireless Range & Bluetooth FlexibilityFeaturing Bluetooth 4.0 Class 1 technology, the QBT2500 operates wirelessly up to 50 meters (164 feet) from its base station. It connects seamlessly to its charging cradle or pairs directly with Bluetooth-enabled host devices, including smartphones, tablets, and mobile POS terminals.
- Superior 1MP Omnidirectional ScanningThe 1 Megapixel (1280 x 800) optical engine provides superior depth of field and rapid omnidirectional capture. It effortlessly reads 1D, 2D, QR codes, DataMatrix, postal codes, and digital watermarks—even if the codes are poorly printed, smudged, damaged, or displayed through plexiglass barriers.
- Patented ‘Green Spot’ & Aiming FeedbackTo combat operator fatigue and improve accuracy in noisy environments, Datalogic’s patented ‘Green Spot’ technology projects a clear visual visual green dot directly onto the barcode upon every successful scan. The blue LED-based precision aiming system helps operators accurately target specific codes on crowded packing slips.
- Motionix™ Automatic Sensing TechnologyEquipped with patented Motionix™ motion-sensing technology, the scanner automatically detects when an operator picks it up or sets it down, switching fluidly between hands-free presentation mode and trigger-activated handheld operation without requiring manual settings changes.
- Extended Battery Life & USB-C ConnectivityPowered by a high-capacity 3250 mAh Lithium-Ion battery, the QBT2500 delivers up to 115,000 scans per full charge, ensuring uninterrupted multi-shift operation. The base station and scanner support modern USB-C interfaces alongside standard USB and RS-232 connections.
- Durable, Operator-Friendly DesignWeighing just 206g, the QBT2500 features an ergonomic housing rated IP52 for particulate and water protection, tested to withstand repeated 1.5m drops onto concrete and over 10 million trigger presses.
