MICROSCAN

Microscan MS-3 CCD Bar Code Scanner

The Microscan MS-3 CCD excels at reading difficult symbols and is offered in Microscan's smallest scanner size.

At 270 decodes per second, the Microscan MS-3 CCD offers the best read performance in its class of embedded compact CCD readers. Advanced CCD technology coupled with proprietary algorithms makes reading small, damaged, or poorly printed symbols routine. The ultra-compact size and wide read angle allow for flexible mounting and positioning when embedded into OEM instruments.

The Microscan MS-3 CCD reader is in the mid-range of Microscan's MS-3 trio that also includes the MS-3 Laser scanner and MS-3 Engine. All three are well suited for any embedded bar code application where size, performance and budget savings are core factors.

Compact size
The 1.75" (44.5mm) square by .85" (21.6mm) tall scanner weighs only 2 ounces (57g) for easy mounting onto robotic equipment or into tight spaces.

Scan speed
With a scan speed of 270 decodes per second, the MS-3 CCD is one of the fastest CCD scanners available on the market today.

Scan angle
The MS-3 CCD offers a wide scan angle of 48 degrees allowing for flexibility with positioning.

Low power draw
The MS-3 comes standard as 5V for low power draw (150mA). 10-30V input also available with interface accessory.
