Hi this is Travis with POSGuys.com today we're reviewing the Honeywell Granit 1910i imager.
It is a 2D imager made for industrial environments, IP65 seal, a very good drop spec from 5 and
6 feet.
Made to be tough made to be used in industrial environments.
The 1910i is a 2D imager.
It has their standard reticle system that has a box around the outside and then a crosshair
right in the middle.
It is a 2D scanner so the barcodes don't have to be lined up.
Straight on, side, any angle it won't matter
the imager will read it.
Standard 1D barcodes, code 128, UPC
it reads fast and aggressive
no problem
when they're slightly faded out,
damaged
wrinkled
colored
it scans them no problem.
1D barcodes should never be a problem with it.
The 2D barcodes
it reads just as well.
We have a QR code, PDF417 and ours we actually put a piece of glossy tape over it to represent
like a drivers license when you're on a laminated material.
So it scans with a reflection just fine.
Maxi-code is one of the harder ones to scans but it scans that as well.
Data Matrix is also no problem, you'll see that a lot in shipping codes.
For your scan range for standard barcodes you can go back past two feet they say about
three feet and it does that just fine.
Slightly enlarged barcodes you can go back even further so if you're using it in a warehousing
environment and you need to scan something on a high shelf, as long as the barcode is
large enough it should read it no problem.
There are three indicators when you scan a barcode.
There is the beep.
There is the LED light that you can see at the top.\
It is a large LED light and it also has a vibrator inside.
So you'll feel the correct scan, you'll see the light, and you can hear the beep and the
beep can go quite loud.
So in a loud setting you can definitely get a good indication that you've scanned something
correctly.
As far as light immunity goes, it is an imager.
Light will not affect the scanning.
So you can use it in bright daylight, under a spotlight with other types of bright lights
on.
There is just no affect of being under a bright light.
The Granit is a very industrial scanner it is made to use in cold storage environments.
It goes down to -22�F or -30�C.
For a drop spec it does 6.5 meter drops at -22�F. Being in a cold brittle environment
does not affect the outer shell it will survive the drops just fine.
Impact testing: you can step on it, jump on it, it will be just fine.
We finally did damage the scanner when we ran it over with the car.
It went forward and back and then at that point it stopped functioning.
The scanner still powered on however the scan engine itself wouldn't light up.
So the main board survived, the scan head got a little damaged.
There is some small scuffing on it where you can see that the gravel impacted it but it
is just scuffing
there is no structural damage to the shell.
So dropping it stepping on it, it's made to survive that type of thing.
If you're using it in a very industrial environment consider the extended warranty, it's a comprehensive
warranty that will allow you to put it through a more rugged
setting where if it does get damaged to the point that it doesn't work you can send it
in and have it repaired or replaced.
It's not that much more than the initial unit itself and it is worth considering if you
are going to be using in a very harsh environment.
Without it, the standard warranty is pretty good and it will cover you in a lot of scenarios
but the comprehensive is full coverage.
There also is a Bluetooth version available if you need to have a little more range than
the cord provides.
So Honeywell Granit Imager, industrial 2D.
