Zebra LI3608 ER Industrial 1D Scanner + USB cable

Product description

Zebra LI3608 ER: Rugged 1D industrial scanner with long-range

The Zebra LI3608 ER is a corded 1D barcode scanner designed for demanding industrial and logistics environments. With its Extended Range technology, it captures linear barcodes from both close range and distant storage locations. The set comprises the industrial handheld scanner and a matching USB cable for connection to compatible host systems.

Its robust design, featuring IP65/IP68 protection and high drop resistance, makes it a reliable solution for warehouses, production facilities and dispatch departments. Particularly when picking in high-bay warehouses, the long reading range enables efficient scanning of pallet and storage location labels.

Extended-range technology for barcodes at distances of up to 17.1 m

With its Extended-Range Linear Imager technology, the LI3608 ER can scan suitable 1D barcodes from distances ranging from a few centimetres up to 17.1 metres. This enables staff to read both nearby product labels and labels at a considerable distance using the same device.

This range offers particular advantages in high-bay warehouses and logistics centres. Barcodes on pallets, shelves or storage containers can be scanned without staff having to reach every item directly.

The actual reading range depends on the size, resolution and print quality of the barcode, as well as the environmental conditions. The maximum distance applies to barcodes of an appropriate size.

Reliable 1D barcode scanning even under challenging conditions

The Zebra LI3608 ER is designed for scanning linear 1D barcodes. It supports common barcode formats such as Code 39, Code 128, UPC/EAN and GS1 DataBar, and enables the identification of goods, storage locations and transport containers.

The scanning technology also supports the capture of dirty, damaged or poorly printed barcodes. This helps to reduce the need for repeated scanning attempts and speeds up workflows during goods receipt and order picking.

The scanner is designed specifically for 1D barcodes. QR codes, Data Matrix and other 2D barcodes are not supported.

IP65/IP68 protection for demanding industrial environments

The LI3608 ER has been developed for work environments where dust, moisture and mechanical stress are part of everyday life. Its IP65/IP68-certified housing offers protection against dust and water and ensures reliable operation under challenging conditions.

The scanner is suitable for use in warehouses, production facilities, cold stores and outdoor industrial environments, provided that the permissible operating conditions are observed.

Its robust design helps to reduce downtime and maintenance requirements, and supports long-term use in professional working environments.

High drop resistance for demanding day-to-day use

According to the manufacturer, the Zebra LI3608 ER can withstand drops from up to 3 metres onto concrete at room temperature. In addition, the device is designed to withstand 7,500 tumbles from a height of one metre.

This durability is particularly important in logistics and manufacturing, where scanners are frequently used and transported. The robust construction protects the device from typical mechanical stresses and reduces the risk of operational disruptions.

The combination of high drop resistance and IP65/IP68 protection makes the scanner a practical solution for businesses with demanding scanning processes.

Complete USB kit for continuous wired operation

This kit contains the Zebra LI3608 ER and a USB connection cable. This allows the scanner to be connected to a compatible computer or industrial host system.

Wired data transmission provides a continuous connection and is particularly suitable for fixed workstations in goods receipt, packaging and dispatch control.

As the scanner operates without a battery, there is no need for charging times, battery changes or the management of charging stations. This simplifies day-to-day operations and ensures consistent availability at fixed workstations.

Clear scan confirmation even in noisy work environments

The LI3608 ER offers several options for confirming successful scans. In addition to audible and visual signals, the device provides haptic feedback via vibration.

This combination is particularly useful in noisy production halls and logistics centres, where an audible signal alone may not be sufficient.

The different feedback signals simplify operation and support reliable data capture during repetitive scanning tasks.

Applications and compatibility

The Zebra LI3608 ER with USB cable is particularly suitable for high-bay warehouses, logistics centres, production facilities, dispatch departments and industrial stock management. Its long scanning range facilitates the capture of storage location labels, pallet labels and transport codes.

Typical applications include order picking, stock control, goods receipt, dispatch checks and material tracking. The scanner is particularly suitable for workstations where linear barcodes need to be read from varying distances.

The device can be connected to compatible PCs and industrial host systems using the supplied USB cable. Suitable Zebra configuration and management tools are available for integration into existing applications.
