Barcode Reader Accessory Honeywell AP-010BT-07N

The Honeywell AP-010BT-07N is a compact Bluetooth Class 2 access point designed to provide wireless connectivity between compatible Honeywell barcode scanners and host systems. Constructed from durable black plastic, it offers up to 10 m (30') wireless range and supports connecting up to seven scanners simultaneously. The unit interfaces with hosts via RS232, USB or keyboard wedge (KBW) with cables sold separately, making it suitable as an accessory to extend the mobility of wired or cradle-mounted scanners.

Advantages

This access point delivers reliable short-range Bluetooth connectivity and supports multiple scanners at once, reducing the need for individual wired connections. Its plastic housing is lightweight yet durable for everyday use, and compatibility with common host interfaces (RS232, USB, KBW) provides flexible integration options in existing POS or data-capture setups.

Suitable for

• Retail point-of-sale stations where several barcode scanners share a single host
• Warehouse or back-office areas needing short-range wireless scanning (up to 10 m / 30')
• Environments using Granit 1981i or Voyager 1602g scanners that require Bluetooth bridging

When it may not be suitable

This access point is intended for short-range wireless connections and is not suitable where longer-range Bluetooth coverage or enterprise-grade wireless networking is required. It also requires separate host cables (RS232/USB/KBW) which are not included, so it may not be suitable if you need an out-of-the-box wired connection without additional purchases.

Key specifications

• Wireless standard: Bluetooth Class 2
• Operating range: up to 10 m (30')
• Maximum connected scanners: up to 7
• Host interfaces: RS232, USB, Keyboard Wedge (KBW) — cables sold separately
• Material and colour: black plastic housing

How to use

Connect the access point to the host system using the appropriate RS232, USB or keyboard wedge cable (sold separately). Power and pairing procedures follow the device’s pairing instructions: put the access point into pairing mode, then pair each compatible Honeywell scanner (for example, Granit 1981i or Voyager 1602g) to the access point until the required number of scanners — up to seven — are connected. Position the access point within the recommended 10 m (30') range of the scanners for reliable communication.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your scanner models (e.g., Granit 1981i, Voyager 1602g)
• Ensure you have or will purchase the correct host cable (RS232, USB, or KBW)
• Verify that a 10 m (30') Bluetooth range meets your layout and mobility needs

Usage recommendations

Place the access point centrally relative to paired scanners and avoid large metal obstructions between devices to maintain stable Bluetooth communication. Keep spare host cables on hand to switch between RS232, USB, and KBW interfaces as needed.
