Inspector 4000 Datasheet

The Inspector 4000 is the Industry’s Most Flexible ANSI Method Verifier

The Inspector 4000 fulfills the ANSI method standards like no other verifier on the market. Key features include a patented Auto-Optic scan head that allows menu selections for four aperture sizes and two light wavelengths.

The Inspector 4000 meets the American National Standard Institute’s "Guideline for Bar Code Quality’ (ANSI X3.182) method for verification. It also meets Uniform Code Council (UCC) and CEN specifications regarding verification methods.

This truly unique and powerful instrument is also easy to use. All the popular linear symbologies are supported. Store and print capability, multiple scan averaging and subsymbology choices are easily accessed through a simple four-button user interface. Analysis information appears immediately on a 32-character alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). A distinct audible tone and a series of five colored LED’s indicate whether a bar code is in or out of specification.

In addition to the ANSI method parameters, traditional analysis parameters are provided on the LCD without the need for special mode settings.

Data can also be sent to an optional printer or to RS-232 compatible equipment for further analysis.

Two Auto-Optic scan head versions are available – 3, 6, 10, 20 mil or 3, 5, 10, 20 mil aperture choices. Both versions provide red (660 nm)and infra-red (925nm) light wavelength selections.

Accessories available include two printer models and a battery charger/power supply.
