BVS HS-PB
Industrial Cordless Handheld Barcode Reader
2Description
The Balluff BVS HS-PB reader is a feature-rich and rugged area 
imager. It is offered in several different models to better fit the different 
needs of each customer.
The table below shows the unique features of each model:
2.1 General Features
Model P/N Optical feature
BVS HS-PB-
HDW-MZ-01
Autofocus optic, High, standard and low density 
codes, wide angle
BVS HS-PB-
DPW-MZ-01
High Density optic, high and medium density 
codes, DPM (laser, ink jet and dot peen)
Omni-directional 
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you sim-
ply aim the reader and pull the trigger. Since the 
Balluff BVS HS-PB reader is a powerful omni-
directional reader, the orientation of the symbol is 
not important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Balluff 
BVS HS-PT reader reliably decodes all major 1D 
(linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as 
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMa-
trix), postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). 
The data stream — acquired from decoding a 
symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader 
is immediately available to read another symbol.
Formatting and 
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be processed 
according to either a simple or advanced data 
formatting and be concatenated. 
Imaging
Balluff BVS HS-PB reader can also function as a 
camera by capturing entire images (valid only for 
RS-232 and USB-COM on the Base Station).
Autoscanning
An autoscan command causes the reader to 
scan continuously and to monitor the central 
zone of its reading area.
Flash Memory
Flash technology allows you to upgrade the Bal-
luff BVS HS-PB reader as new symbologies are 
supported or as new features become available.
