Description
Vehicle-Mounted Computing for Tough Environments
The Paladin combines contemporary computing power with a rugged design to make it ideal for virtually any inside-the-four-walls vehicle mounted application. The 9.7″ inch screen is the ideal size for maximum data presentation to the viewer, without hindering driver visibility.
The Android operating system and capacitive touch screen represent a move into more intuitive user interfaces.
The Paladin can even be used for fixed or stationary applications when traditional PCs just aren’t up to the task. Durable and reliable, the Paladin offers functionality and versatility at an affordable price-point.
Every Paladin includes:
- Extended Interface Cable
- Power Supply
- Standard one year warranty
Contemporary Computing Platform for Today’s Vehicle-Mounted Applications
With its compact size and +12V operating voltage, the Paladin is as much at home mounted in a vehicle or on a forklift, as it is in a warehouse or manufacturing plant. For non-hand-carry applications, the Paladin redefines ruggedness and versatility.
Applications:
- Inventory Control
- Asset Tracking
- Shipping/Receiving
- Check-In/Out
- Order Picking
- Work-in-Process
About the Manufacturer: AML was founded in 1983 to respond to a need in the barcode data collection marketplace for high performance, easy-to-use, and cost-effective barcode and data collection products. Our goal is to provide sensible solutions for mission critical activities, to improve efficiency and productivity, and to make barcode data collection applications worry-free.
FAQ
Can I scan a barcode off a phone/tablet/computer screen?
Yes, but we suggest a scanner with a linear imager or 2D area imager scan engine because it can read barcodes easier & faster than a laser barcode scanner. A laser barcode scanner has to fight with the screen's reflection to read the barcodes while an imager takes a picture to decode the information.
How do I scan 2D barcodes?
You need a barcode scanner with a 2d area imager scan engine. Laser or linear imager barcode scanners will not work.
What is a 1D barcode and a 2D barcode?
1D Barcodes
- 1D is a category of barcodes with vertical black lines.
- Also known as linear barcodes.
- There are several fonts / languages of 1D barcodes.
- The longer the data, the longer the barcode becomes.
- 1D barcode is generally good for 8-15 characters.
- 1D and 2D barcode scanners can read 1D barcodes.
- Some popular 1D barcodes are: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, Code 39, & Code 128.
2D Barcodes
- 2D is a category of barcodes. Usually square or rectangle shaped with black pixels inside.
- Can store up to 2,000 characters. (200% increase over 1D barcodes)
- There are several fonts / languages of 2D barcodes.
- Can only be read with 2d imaging scanners.
- Some popular 2D barcodes are: QR code, PDF417, & Datamatrix.
What is IP ratings?
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings is the standard rating for sealing electrical devices against dust and moisture. You will see most IP ratings as IP65, IP54, etc. Each number has a specific meaning. The first number indicates the degree of protection from moving parts (fingers, tools, wires, etc.) and dust — ranges from 0 to 6. The second number indicates the protection level against moisture — ranges from 0 to 8.
| IP Rated Enclosures | |
|---|---|
| First Digit (intrusion protection) | |
| 0 | No special protection |
| 1 | Protection from a large part of the body such as a hand (but no protection from deliberate access); from solid objects greater than 50mm in diameter. |
| 2 | Protection against fingers or other object not greater than 80mm in length and 12mm in diameter. |
| 3 | Protection from entry by tools, wires etc, with a diameter of 2.5 mm or more. |
| 4 | Protection against solid bodies larger than 1mm (eg fine tools/small etc). |
| 5 | Protected against dust that may harm equipment. |
| 6 | Totally dust tight. |
| Second Digit (moisture protection) | |
| 0 | No protection. |
| 1 | Protection against condensation. |
| 2 | Protection against water droplets deflected up to 15° from vertical |
| 3 | Protected against spray up to 60° from vertical. |
| 4 | Protected against water spray from all directions. |
| 5 | Protection against low pressure water jets (all directions) |
| 6 | Protection against string water jets and waves. |
| 7 | Protected against temporary immersion. |
| 8 | Protected against prolonged effects of immersion under pressure. |
IP Ratings look like this: IP65, IP45, IP54, etc.
Example: An IP65 rating means it is totally dust tight and is protected from low pressure water jets.
A device with no IP rating means it is not intended to work around heavy dust and moisture.
What is Power-over-Ethernet?
Some data terminals have a Power over Ethernet (POE) option which allows electrical power to pass into the terminal to allow both data connection and electrical power through an ethernet cable. POE's benefits include:
Time and cost savings - by reducing the time and expense of having electrical power cabling installed. Network cables do not require a qualified electrician to fit them, and can be located anywhere.
Flexibility - without being tethered to an electrical outlet, devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points can be located wherever they are needed most, and repositioned easily if required.
Safety - POE delivery is intelligent, and designed to protect network equipment from overload, underpowering, or incorrect installation.
Reliability - POE power comes from a central and universally compatible source, rather than a collection of distributed wall adapters. It can be backed-up by an uninterruptible power supply, or controlled to easily disable or reset devices.
Scalability - having power available on the network means that installation and distribution of network connections is simple and effective.
