Honeywell LXE 8652 Ring Scanner with Talkman T2x Test Summary

Product Tested: Honeywell LXE 8652

Honeywell Part Number: 8652100RINGSCR

Peripheral firmware version: 1.2.0

Peripheral Type: Bluetooth Ring scanner (scanner and imager versions tested)

Comments: The 8651 and 8652 are virtually identical in appearance; however the 8652 (imager) has an additional window above the larger scanning window. The imager is capable of decoding 2D barcodes. The larger black unit contains the Bluetooth radio and battery. This unit is the same for either model. Battery charger is sold separately and should be ordered in addition to scanner. An 8-bay battery charger is available. Battery must be removed for charging.

Test Cycle: Aug-2011

Honeywell software products used: VoiceClient 3.8

Honeywell hardware products used: Talkman T2x

Test Status: Passes all

Tests Performed - Peripheral Bluetooth Scanner Scenarios:

  • Basic Pairing with Device as Acceptor (by scanning the barcode that represents the dongle connected to the T2x device)
  • Sleep/On state change on device and effect on scanner
  • Operator state change on device and effect on scanner
  • Out of Bluetooth Range
  • Re-pair after power off
  • Scanner reconnects after placed in charger
  • Scanner reconnects after power up in a charger
  • 200+ char barcode test
  • Code 39 and 128 barcode test
  • 2D barcode

Tests Performed - VoiceConsole Scenarios:

  • Since T2x with Bluetooth dongle configuration is not supported in VoiceConsole, these tests were not performed.

Tests Performed - Failure Scenarios:

  • Battery pull of Talkman device when paired and running through scanning task
  • Walk out of Bluetooth range of paired devices and check for scanning operation and its communication with VoiceClient on T2x
  • Walk out of range of Talkman device and power down Peripheral (scanner) device

Notes regarding usage

  • The scanner has a very low level of ‘self-illumination’ and may have difficulty in poorly lit environments.

  • If the scanner is the initiator to the Talkman becomes unpaired for any reason it requires a “button press” on the scanner to wake it up and cause it to re-pair with the Talkman. (Described in Overview).
