Newland FM415 Bass Fixed Mount Scanner (NLS-FM415-U)

The Newland FM415 Bass is a very compact fixed-mount 2D scanner (just 49 × 69 × 20 mm and 64.6 g) for building into self-service kiosks, ticket and vending machines, access gates, lockers and counters. Its combination of an IR sensor and a light sensor starts scanning as soon as a code is presented and automatically adjusts the bright white illumination to the light reflected from the code – so it reads reliably even in low light and from smartphone screens. A red LED aimer, hands-free or triggered operation, IP54 sealing and a 1.5 m drop rating make it suitable even for outdoor installations in a housing, and Newland covers it with a 5-year (60-month) warranty. This version, NLS-FM415-U, is the USB kit: it is supplied with a 2 m USB cable – ready to plug in and scan, powered via USB, no power supply needed.

Key Features

• Snappy, even in less-than-perfect conditions – the combination of an IR sensor and a light sensor detects a presented code instantly and keeps queues moving even in low light; strong white illumination keeps barcodes well lit.
• Intelligent illumination – the sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the supplementary lighting to the light reflected off the barcode, which makes the FM415 an excellent choice for reading mobile tickets, e-vouchers and payment QR codes from phone screens.
• Hands-free or triggered – sense, continuous and level modes for automatic scanning, or manual triggering if preferred; the scanner can be set up for optimal reading at close or longer distance (EAN-13 up to 250 mm, QR Code up to 190 mm).
• Tiny footprint – at 49 × 69 × 20 mm and 64.6 g it fits into the tightest kiosk, machine or gate designs; the red LED aimer shows users where to present the code.
• Reliable outdoor use – IP54 sealing against dust and splashing water, a 1.5 m drop rating and an operating range of −20 °C to 60 °C; installed in a housing, it can be used outdoors without worrying about dust or moisture.
• Dual interface, easy integration – USB (HID keyboard, USB CDC virtual COM, HID-POS, IBM SurePOS) or RS-232 via the detachable cable on the RJ50 data port; EasySet configuration tool and a 5-year Newland warranty.
