Performs in your toughest environments
Superior scanning performance on any 1D barcode, in any condition
Read 1D barcodes displayed on a screen or printed on a label faster than any other 1D scanner on the market—even if they are under heavy shrinkwrap or damaged, dirty or poorly printed.
The advanced linear imager offers 30% more working range than competitive devices, and captures barcodes as fast as your workers can pull the trigger for extraordinary productivity—no need to pause between scans.
Ultra-rugged—the most indestructible design in its class
Zebra ultra-rugged scanners earned their name for a reason— you won’t find a tougher family of scanners. Ready for the world’s harshest environments, the LI3600-SR has the highest drop, tumble and sealing specifications in its class. It can survive 10 ft./3 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles. With dual IP65/IP68 sealing, the LI3600-SR is dust proof, can handle the force of jetting water and be fully submerged in water. Built to withstand extreme heat, cold and humidity, the LI3600-SR can be used anywhere— indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer.¹
Ultra-rugged cradle and charging contacts designed to lLast
The LI3600-SR is the first scanner in its class to offer a cradle with IP65 sealing. Its industrial charging contacts withstand 250,000 insertions. And Zebra’s exclusive Connect+ Contact technology assures reliable, corrosion-free charging over the life of the scanner.
Crispest aiming pattern in its class
You get the industry’s sharpest, brightest aiming pattern, ideal for first-time accurate capture of barcodes in pick lists.
THE LI3600-SR—ADVANCED 1D BARCODE CAPTURE IN AN ULTRA-RUGGED SCANNER
Flexible feedback modes
Mix and match the feedback modes that best fit your environment— vibration, wraparound LEDs that are easy to see from any position, a beep tone and Zebra’s Direct Decode Indicator that projects illumination on the captured barcode..
Superior cordless technology
More Than 140,000 scans on a single charge
The PowerPrecision+ battery delivers the ultimate in battery power and management. You get more than twice the amount of scans per charge than with competitive models, so workers can scan more items over a longer period of time. You also get visibility into a wealth of battery health-related data, including charge cycles consumed, current battery status and a State of Health meter, which identifies if batteries are healthy and holding a full charge, no longer holding a full charge, or at end of life and require replacement.
Battery and Bluetooth® status at-a-glance
The first-in-its-class battery ‘charge gauge’ and Bluetooth status LED make it easy to monitor battery power as well as Bluetooth connectivity.
Switch workflows in an instant with AutoConfig
Since scanner settings are stored in the cradle base, simply pair the LI3600-SR to a different base to automatically configure it for a new host application. For example, you can take a scanner from the forklift and use it for shipping without manually changing settings.
Keep track of your scanners and prevent workflow interruptions
With Virtual Tether, you won’t have to worry about a warehouse worker leaving a scanner behind on a pallet. Both the scanner and cradle will alert users when a scanner is taken beyond its Bluetooth range or left out of the cradle for a predefined length of time.
Eliminate Bluetooth interference with Wi-Fi friendly mode
Zebra’s exclusive Wi-Fi Friendly Mode eliminates the wireless interference that Bluetooth devices can create in your Wi-Fi environment.
Unrivaled manageability
Identify and correct problem barcodes with ScanSpeed analytics
Only from Zebra, ScanSpeed Analytics provides detailed metrics on every barcode captured—enabling you to identify poor performing barcodes that slow down your operations.
No-cost tools to meet your management needs
With 123Scan, you can easily create configuration barcodes to program scanners. If your imagers are in multiple locations across the country or around the world, with Scanner Management Service (SMS), you can configure and update the firmware for any LI3600-SR device that is plugged into the host—no depot staging or user action is required.
Up-to-the-minute insight into every aspect of your scanners
The logging agent’s Remote Diagnostics capabilities automate the recording of scanner asset information, health and statistics, configuration settings and barcode data—giving you the information needed for event verification, blockchain traceability, pilot site ROI generation, troubleshooting and predictive fleet-wide trend analysis.
