Barcode CCD Reader CIPHERLAB A1000-UHB USB Black

The CIPHERLAB A1000-UHB is a handheld CCD barcode reader designed for reliable reading of printed 1D barcodes at close range. It features a 2048-pixel CCD sensor, USB connectivity (USB-HID / USB-VCOM) and compact ABS housing. The scanner is lightweight with an ergonomic shape, has a top-mounted cable exit to reduce strain on the cable, and includes programmable buzzer and LED indicators for read confirmation and device status.

Advantages

The A1000-UHB provides configurable decoding and editing capabilities, including support for multiple edit formats, prefix/postfix programming, code length control and selection of code types. Its robust construction, PVC rubber bezel protecting the CCD window, and the cable placement extend durability. The device supports a wide range of 1D symbologies and multiple communication interfaces (keyboard wedge, RS232, USB-HID, USB-VCOM).

How to use

Connect the A1000-UHB to a host via the supplied USB cable. Install or select the appropriate interface mode (USB-HID or USB-VCOM) on the scanner using the programming options. Aim the scanner window at the barcode within the specified reading depth and press the trigger to scan. The LED and programmable buzzer indicate a successful read; decoded data will be transmitted to the connected system according to the chosen interface and edit format settings.

Usage recommendations

For consistent reads, ensure labels are within the 0–10 mm reading depth and are not below the minimum PCS. Use the built-in editing and prefix/postfix programming to format data for your POS or inventory system. Avoid excessive cable bending near the top-mounted exit and keep the CCD window free of scratches or debris; the PVC bezel helps protect the glass but periodic cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth is advised.
