Honeywell Granit 1980i 2D long-range

The Granit 1980i is an ultra-rugged, wired full-range area imager built for industrial applications—capable of reading nearly all 1D and 2D barcodes from 15 cm (6 in) up to 15 m (50 ft). It excels in warehouse, logistics, production, and cold-store environments

Scanning Performance & Features

• Range: Reads low-density (100 mil) codes out to ~16 m and high-density (2 mil) codes at close range.

• Ease of Use: Includes a laser-spot aimer with automatic backlighting, omni-directional scanning, and center-decode mode for precise readings even from long distances.

Rugged Build & Durability

• Durability: Survives up to 5,000 tumbles from 1 m (3.3 ft) and 50 drops from 2 m (6.5 ft) onto concrete—even at −30 °C.

• Ingress Protection: Rated IP65 for full dust protection and water resistance

• Cable Reliability: Offers industrial-grade cable options tested for 300,000 bends at −30 °C, sustaining up to ~27 kg pull force

Environmental Specifications

• Operating Range: −30 °C to +50 °C; Storage: −40 °C to +70 °C.

• Humidity: 0–95% non‑condensing.

• Electrostatic Protection: ±20 kV air discharge / ±8 kV contact discharge

• Light Tolerance: Operates reliably in ambient light up to ~100,000 lux (direct sun).

Physical & Interface Details

• Weight: ~335 g (≈ 11.8 oz)

• Dimensions: ~133 × 75 × 195 mm (5.2″ × 3.0″ × 7.7″)

• Connectivity: Multi‑interface support (USB, RS‑232, Keyboard Wedge) — interface changeable via cable swap

Benefits & Use Cases

Ideal for:

• Forklift-mounted scanning (e.g. pallets up to rafters)

• Harsh industrial zones with drops, dust, low temperatures

• Cold storage and outdoor logistics applications

Why choose the 1980i?

• A single scanner that replaces multiple specialized devices across several distance tiers

• Minimal downtime thanks to extreme durability and corrosion-resistant housing

• High productivity with long-range scanning capabilities

• Lower total cost of ownership from rugged design and cable reliability
