CS6080-SR40000TSVW | Zebra CS60 1D/2D Barcode Scanner
The Zebra CS60 is a compact companion barcode scanner with a convertible design that can operate as a cordless pocket scanner, corded handheld scanner, or hands-free presentation scanner. Organizations can change its operating mode by replacing the rechargeable battery with the compatible corded USB converter, allowing the same scanning platform to support mobile and fixed workflows.
A 1280 × 960-pixel image sensor and Zebra PRZM Intelligent Imaging provide reliable capture of common 1D and 2D barcodes, including poorly printed, damaged, low-contrast, and screen-displayed codes. Bluetooth 5.0, NFC tap-to-pair, Qi-compatible inductive charging, IP65 sealing, and a programmable secondary button give businesses a flexible scanner for retail, inventory, transportation, hospitality, field service, and light-manufacturing applications.
Key Features and Business Benefits
- Convertible corded and cordless design: Replace the battery with a compatible corded USB converter to change operating modes without purchasing a different scanner.
- Handheld and hands-free operation: Use the CS60 in the hand, place a cordless model in a compatible presentation cradle, or add an IntelliStand to a corded configuration.
- Compact companion form factor: The pocketable design supports mobile scanning without the size and weight of a traditional full-size handheld scanner.
- 1D and 2D barcode capture: Reads common linear and two-dimensional codes from printed labels and electronic displays.
- PRZM Intelligent Imaging: Zebra decoding technology improves performance on damaged, poorly printed, dirty, and low-contrast barcodes.
- Bluetooth 5.0 mobility: Cordless configurations provide Class 1 wireless communication at distances reaching 330 ft./100 m with direct line of sight.
- NFC tap-to-pair: Compatible devices can be paired quickly without manually navigating Bluetooth configuration menus.
- Full-shift battery power: The 735 mAh lithium-polymer battery delivers up to 18 hours or approximately 13,000 scans per charge under Zebra’s test conditions.
- Qi-compatible charging: Charge a cordless CS60 with Zebra’s inductive charging equipment or a compatible third-party Qi charging pad.
- Programmable secondary button: Assign the additional button to supported tasks such as switching host applications, triggering scans, showing a virtual keyboard, or controlling the built-in lamp.
- Durable daily construction: IP65 sealing, multiple 6-foot drops to concrete, and 250 tumbles support mobile commercial use.
Convertible Scanning Architecture
The CS60 allows an organization to change between corded and cordless operation as workflow requirements evolve.
For cordless use, install the rechargeable battery and connect through Bluetooth to a compatible host or communication cradle. The compact scanner can be carried in a pocket or paired with an optional lanyard, retractor, and silicone sleeve for wearable use.
For corded operation, remove the battery and attach the compatible corded USB converter. This configuration provides continuous host-powered scanning without battery charging or Bluetooth management.
Optional presentation cradles and IntelliStands support hands-free operation. This flexibility allows the same scanner family to serve a mobile point-of-sale associate, inventory employee, ticketing agent, repair technician, or fixed workstation.
Scanning and Decode Performance
The Zebra CS60 uses a 1280 × 960-pixel image sensor, a circular 525 nm green LED aiming pattern, and one warm-white illumination LED. Its 45° horizontal by 34° vertical field of view supports intuitive barcode positioning.
The scanner captures 100% 13 mil UPC barcodes from approximately 1.8 to 19.5 inches under published conditions. Larger 20 mil Code 39 symbols can be read from approximately 2.5 to 26 inches, while 20 mil QR Codes have a published range of approximately 1.2 to 14 inches.
Motion tolerance reaches 20 inches per second for 13 mil UPC in optimized handheld mode. The scanner’s 20% minimum print-contrast specification and PRZM decoding technology support reliable performance on imperfect labels.
Multi-Code Data Formatting can capture multiple barcodes with a single trigger action and send selected data to the host in the order required by the application. Picklist functionality can help users select one barcode when several symbols appear in the field of view.
Cordless Connectivity and Mobility
Cordless configurations use Bluetooth 5.0 with Bluetooth Low Energy. Class 1 connectivity provides a published direct-line-of-sight range of up to 330 ft./100 m, while Class 2 operation can be used for shorter-range workflows.
Supported Bluetooth capabilities include common HID, serial, and Zebra device-communication profiles. Specific pairing and application behavior depend on the ordered configuration and host platform.
Built-in NFC simplifies pairing with compatible devices. Zebra Wi-Fi Friendly Mode can restrict Bluetooth operation to channels that do not overlap with the organization’s wireless network, helping reduce radio interference.
Virtual Tether can alert users when a cordless scanner moves outside its configured range or remains away from the cradle too long. A paging control on compatible cradles helps locate a nearby misplaced scanner.
