VRC 6940 Series

Rugged Vehicle-Mount Computer Thrives

in Industrial Extremes

The heavy-duty VRC 6940 Vehicle Radio Computer Series

from Symbol Technologies is precision-engineered to withstand

extreme temperatures and the harshest industrial environments.

Symbol VRC 6940 Series computers mount directly to fork-

lift trucks, enabling operators to wirelessly collect and transmit

data to the host from the factory or warehouse ﬂoor. These

truck-mounted computers facilitate real-time management of

material, work-in-process and ﬁnished goods. Productivity

increases because operators receive the latest work instructions

and information updates without leaving the truck.

Stands Up to Tough Environments

The VRC 6940 Series is built for rugged use under the most

trying industrial conditions. The sturdy, ergonomically rounded

magnesium housing provides the highest strength to weight

ratio. It meets tough IP65 and NEMA4 standards for protection

against the elements on loading docks and in warehouse yards.

Durable construction, built to rigid SAE J1455 and MIL-STD

810E vibration standards, protects the unit from random bangs

and shocks. A VRC 6940 operates reliably in extreme tempera-

tures ranging from -22°F/-30°C to 122°F/50°C.

The VRC 6940 computer mounts easily to the forklift and

plugs directly into the forklift battery, eliminating the need for

an additional power supply. The scanner, power and RS-232

communication ports all use industrial-grade connectors and

Symbol’s thoughtful design equips the computer for input volt-

ages ranging from 12 to 60 VDC, or 12 to 24V automotive.

Communicates Without Wires

The efﬁciency of cost-effective wireless networking is integral

to the VRC 6940. The computer supports Symbol Spectrum24

open architecture wireless networking technology, designed

to comply with the IEEE 802.11 standard for airwave

communications.

For the utmost in ﬂexible data management, Symbol

hand-held bar code scanners and printers plug directly into

the VRC 6940. Symbol offers a broad line of ruggedized

industrial scanners that read one-dimensional bar codes

and captures data in dim light or on high warehouse

shelves – even from poorly printed or damaged bar codes.

Large Application Base The VRC 6940 has a large, fluorescent 8-line x 40-character display that is easy to view in the dim light of a warehouse, factory or loading dock. The alphanumeric keyboard has oversized keys so workers don’t have to remove gloves for accurate operation. Because the VRC 6940 builds on the heritage of Symbol’s existing Series 3000 terminals, a wide range of application software is readily available. The DOS-based operating environment permits easy software application development.
