LI3600-ER Ultra-Rugged Scanner

Unstoppable performance for extended range 1D barcode scanning

Every day, workers in your warehouse scan thousands of 1D barcodes near and far to ensure order accuracy and on-time delivery. Their productivity depends on the quality of the scanner you put in their hands. With the LI3600-ER Ultra-Rugged scanner, you can give them the best. This linear imager enables extended range capture of virtually any 1D barcode displayed on a screen or printed on a label—nearer and farther than any scanner in this class, from 2 in./5.1 cm to 56 ft/17.1 m away. Built for your toughest environments, the LI3600-ER is virtually indestructible, including an enhanced 10 ft./3 m drop spec to concrete and dual IP65/IP68 sealing. With DataCapture DNA, Zebra’s exclusive software ecosystem, you can simplify every stage of the scanning experience over the life of your device. And when it comes to cordless technology, the LI3678-ER’s Zebra-only features put it in a class of its own. The LI3600-ER—the unstoppable performance you need to maximize workforce productivity and throughput in your operations.

LI36x8-ER Ultra-Rugged Scanner

Performs In Your Toughest Environments

Best-In-Class Scanning Performance—and Scanning Range

This linear imager delivers an extraordinary scanning range as far as 56 ft./17.1 m, enabling your workers to scan 1D printed barcodes 26% farther than the prior generation laser model. Your workers only need one scanner to read barcodes a hands-length away (including extra-wide codes) and on the uppermost shelves of your warehouse racks.

Capture virtually any barcode in any condition—including under shrinkwrap, damaged, dirty or poorly printed—as fast as workers can pull the trigger, for first-time, every-time scanning.

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-ER 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-ER 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-ER can be used anywhere—indoor, outdoor and even in the freezer.1

Ultra-Rugged Cradle and Charging Contacts Designed to Last

The LI3600-ER 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.

Intuitive Aiming Pattern for Ultra Simple Scanning at Any Distance

A new aiming pattern provides foolproof aiming for codes in hand— and on the uppermost warehouse racks.

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.

The LI3600-ER — Give your workers single scanner simplicity for near and far1D barcode capture with the ultra-rugged scanner that redefines reliability.

Superior Cordless Technology

More Than 100,000 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-ER 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-ER 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.
