Scorpion Rugged Tablets And Handhelds Installation Guide (+ PDF)

The SCORPION series offers a range of rugged tablets and
industrial handhelds designed for various applications in indoor
and outdoor environments. These devices are well-equipped with
certifications and features to meet the demands of different
industries.

Application Field

Before purchasing a SCORPION device, consider whether it will be
used indoors or outdoors. For indoor use in industrial facilities,
devices with MIL-SPEC certification and IP65 certification are
recommended. The entire SCORPION portfolio is suitable for this
application field. However, if you need to work outdoors in direct
sunlight, you will require a device with a high display brightness
of at least 800 cd/m2 (nits). The SCORPION 10X series offers
high-brightness models specifically designed for outdoor use.

The SCORPION devices are suited for various applications,
including:

Warehouses and stores
Craftsmen and workshops
Industrial production lines
Transportation and logistics
Police and fire vehicles
Forklift terminals
Agriculture or construction sites
Drone/multicopter control
Military field operations

1D/2D Barcode Reader

All SCORPION devices are equipped with barcode readers capable
of reading both 1D and 2D codes. The supported 1D codes include
Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, and Code 2/5 interleaved. For 2D
codes, the devices can recognize stacked 2D codes such as PDF417
and Codablock A, as well as 2D matrices and classic QR codes.

The SCORPION models integrate the following scan modules:

1D/2D scan module Honeywell N3680
1D/2D scan module Motorola Zebra SE2707
1D/2D scan module Newland LV3096

The availability of these scan modules varies depending on the
SCORPION model:

Available for SCORPION 12, SCORPION 10 PLUS, SCORPION 10X
Windows, and SCORPION 6 (scanner included)
Available for SCORPION 8 PLUS
Available for SCORPION 10X Android (scanner included)

Certifications

All SCORPION rugged tablets and handhelds come with a
MIL-STD-810G certification as a standard. This certification
ensures compatibility with various environmental factors, including
high temperature fluctuations, atmospheric pressure, humidity,
vibration, and solar radiation. It also grants the devices a drop
resistance.

Product Usage Instructions

Indoor Use

If you will be using the SCORPION device indoors in industrial
facilities, ensure that it has a MIL-SPEC certification and IP65
certification. These certifications provide sufficient protection
against common indoor hazards.

Outdoor Use

If you need to use the SCORPION device outdoors, particularly in
direct sunlight, choose a device with a high display brightness of
at least 800 cd/m2 (nits). The SCORPION 10X series offers models
specifically designed for outdoor use.

Barcode Reading

The SCORPION devices are equipped with barcode readers capable
of reading both 1D and 2D codes. You can scan various types of 1D
codes, such as Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC, and Code 2/5
interleaved. Additionally, the devices can recognize stacked 2D
codes like PDF417 and Codablock A, 2D matrices, and classic QR
codes.

Scan Module Availability

The availability of scan modules depends on the SCORPION model
you choose. Refer to the following information:

SCORPION 12, SCORPION 10 PLUS, SCORPION 10X Windows, and
SCORPION 6: Available with the Honeywell N3680, Motorola Zebra
SE2707, and Newland LV3096 scan modules.
SCORPION 8 PLUS: Available with the Honeywell N3680 and
Motorola Zebra SE2707 scan modules.
SCORPION 10X Android: Available with the Honeywell N3680,
Motorola Zebra SE2707, and Newland LV3096 scan modules.

Certifications

All SCORPION rugged tablets and handhelds come with a
MIL-STD-810G certification as a standard. This certification
ensures the devices’ durability and resistance to various
environmental factors. They are designed to withstand high
temperature fluctuations, atmospheric pressure, humidity,
vibration, and solar radiation.

Buyers Guide
Everything you need to know before buying our
rugged tablets and industrial handhelds

Checklist
Your checklist before buying a rugged tablet or handhelds
Application Field: Will the mobile device be used indoors or outdoors? 1D/2D Barcode Reader: Which codes can our scan modules read? Certifications: Which type of protection should you choose? Comparison Table: All SCORPION models in direct comparison

Before purchasing a SCORPION rugged tablet or industrial handheld, we provide you with an essential checklist you can go through step by step in this buyers guide. Experience has shown that not only the most important technical questions can be clarified in advance, but also problems and misunderstandings after an order can be avoided. In this buyers guide, we inform you about the features you should look for in the hardware. The first and foremost requirement is the application for which you want to use the rugged tablet or handheld. In general, our SCORPION devices are suitable for almost any industrial application fields, but it is important to clarify, if the mobile terminal will be used primarily for indoor or outdoor applications (or both). Furthermore, we explain which scan modules are installed in the individual SCORPION models and which codes can be read by each. Our 1D/2D scanners are only

available as optional accessories on most of our rugged tablets and can be omitted if not needed. Additionally, we’ll be getting into details about the hardware certifications in this buying guide. All SCORPION models have a standardized MIL-STD-810G and at least IP65 certification, but the meaning of these cryptic abbreviations, will be cleared up as well. Last but not least, we give you a significant spec sheet of all our SCORPION rugged tablets and handhelds in direct comparison. In a tabular view, you will find all important specifications as well as suitable accessories at a glance. More detailed information on the individual devices as well as data sheets, quick-start guides and drivers can be found online at:

Application Field

Will the mobile device be used indoors or outdoors?

As a user, you basically have to be clear about whether you prefer to use a rugged tablet or handheld indoors or outdoors. For indoor use in industrial facilities, using a MIL-SPEC certification and IP65 certification is usually sufficient. Our entire SCORPION portfolio is well equipped for this application field. But the working conditions in outdoor areas require an entirely different approach.
Do you often or occasionally have to work outside in direct sunlight?
It is important to clarify this question, because although all SCORPION`s are outdoor capable, not all screens are readable in direct sunlight by default. Only with a display brightness of at least 800 cd/m2 (nits) a device can be considered sunlight-readable. We have so-called highbrightness models in our portfolio specifically for this use case, namely the SCORPION 10X series.

The SCORPION`s are suited for:
Warehouses and stores Craftsmen and workshops Industrial production lines Transportation and logistics Police and fire vehicles Forklift terminals Agriculture or construction sites Drone / multicopter control Military field operations

For displays to remain readable in sunlight, a
min. of 800 nits
is required

1D/2D Barcode Reader
Which codes can our scan modules read?

1D Codes

2D Codes

1D codes have long been established in the industries or retail and denote a series of arranged bars forming a so-called one-dimensional code. Each of our SCORPION devices offers the possibility to read 1D barcodes, these include for example Code 39, Code 128, EAN, UPC and Code 2/5 interleaved.

All SCORPION barcode readers are capable of recognizing two-dimensional codes, allowing more data to be read on the same space. This includes stacked 2D codes such as PDF417 and Codablock A as well as 2D matrices. In addition, the built-in camera also recognizes classic QR codes.

Which scan modules are integrated into the SCORPIONs?

SCORPION 12, SCORPION 10 PLUS, SCORPION 10X Windows and SCORPION 6 (scanner included) SCORPION 8 PLUS SCORPION 10X Android (scanner included)

Certifications
Which type of protection should you choose?

What does MIL-STD-810G mean?
MIL-STD-810 certifications designate a set of standardized testing methods for the U.S. military, defining, among others, the compatibility of equipment in dealing with high temperature fluctuations, atmospheric pressure, humidity, vibration or solar radiation.
All SCORPION rugged tablets and handhelds are already offered with a MIL-STD-810G certification as a standard, which among others grants them a drop resistance of
up to 1.5 meters.
