We are pleased to introduce the SD range of ATEX barcode scanners, now available directly under the original branding and part codes. Previously sold exclusively in the UK through another distributor with their own branding, these robust and reliable scanners are already a trusted name in hazardous area data capture.
The SD range includes both Zone 1 and Zone 2 models, with options for cabled or Bluetooth connectivity, and support for either 1D or 2D (QR code) scanning. Whether you’re upgrading an existing terminal setup or specifying a new ATEX compliant scanning solution, the SD range offers a modular and dependable approach.
The SD Range: Reliable Scanning for Hazardous Areas
All SD scanners are designed for use with fixed PC terminals either inside the ATEX zone or nearby in a safe area. They’re ideal for use in manufacturing, petrochemical, and industrial processing environments.
Models in the range include:
Zone 1 Models
SD164 Ex and SD264 Ex
Cabled, ATEX Zone 1 certified
These scanners are available in two versions:
- SD164 Ex: 1D barcode scanning only
- SD264 Ex: 2D (QR code) and 1D scanning
Both models are plug-and-play, designed for high-reliability data capture in harsh environments where a wired connection offers added stability.
SD164 BT Ex and SD264 BT Ex
Bluetooth-enabled, ATEX Zone 1 certified
These offer cable-free operation for greater operator mobility within Zone 1 environments:
- SD164 BT Ex: 1D barcode scanning only
- SD264 BT Ex: 2D (QR code) and 1D scanning
These models share a common cradle, denoted by the part code prefix SDx64 BT Ex, where “x” identifies the scanning type (1 for 1D, 2 for 2D).
Zone 2 Models
SD164 II Ex and SD264 II Ex
Cabled, ATEX Zone 2 certified
A cost-effective option for less hazardous zones:
- SD164 II Ex: 1D barcode scanning only
- SD264 II Ex: 2D (QR code) and 1D scanning
These models maintain the same rugged scanning performance while offering greater affordability.
SD164 BT II Ex and SD264 BT II Ex
Bluetooth-enabled, ATEX Zone 2 certified
These scanners offer wireless mobility in Zone 2 settings:
- SD164 BT II Ex: 1D barcode scanning only
- SD264 BT II Ex: 2D (QR code) and 1D scanning
Like their Zone 1 equivalents, these models also use the “SDx64” naming structure to distinguish between 1D and 2D variants.
