Adesso NuScan 2400U Waterproof Handheld CCD Barcode Scanner
The Adesso NuScan 2400U Waterproof Handheld CCD Barcode Scanner is built for professionals who demand reliability, durability, and rapid data capture in demanding environments. Crafted for industrial settings—from bustling warehouses to wet production lines—the NuScan 2400U delivers accurate 1D barcode reads with minimal maintenance. Its rugged, waterproof design stands up to moisture, dust, and daily wear, while its simple, plug-and-play connectivity makes integration with POS systems, inventory software, and ERP platforms effortless. Whether you’re scanning labels on fresh produce, packaged goods, or rugged industrial tags, this scanner brings consistent performance, ergonomic handling, and easy cleaning to your workflow.
- The NuScan 2400U is engineered with a rugged, waterproof housing that resists moisture and harsh handling, making it an ideal companion for wet environments, food processing floors, outdoor workspaces, and industrial facilities. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of day-to-day use, reducing downtime and the need for frequent replacements. With a comfortable grip and balanced weight, it supports long shifts without causing hand fatigue, while the protective scan window is built to resist scuffs and impact from accidental drops.
- Equipped with high-quality CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) scanning technology, this handheld scanner delivers dependable reads for most 1D barcode formats. CCD scanners are known for fast response times and stable capture with minimal misreads, even when barcodes are damaged, small, or printed on reflective surfaces. The NuScan 2400U emphasizes accuracy and consistency, which translates to fewer rescan events, smoother transaction flows, and improved overall throughput in busy environments.
- Versatile connectivity supports smooth integration with a wide array of systems. USB connectivity ensures quick, plug-and-play deployment into Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, while RS-232 (serial) interfaces cater to older terminal setups and specialized industrial configurations. The scanner is designed to work with POS systems, inventory management software, and ERP workflows, presenting data in a way that is easy to capture into fields, databases, or custom application interfaces without requiring extensive middleware.
- Ergonomics and user experience are at the forefront of the NuScan 2400U design. It fits naturally in the hand with a comfort-driven grip and a trigger that requires minimal effort, enabling rapid, repeated scans without strain. The compact, balanced form factor reduces operator fatigue during long shifts, and the intuitive LED and audible indicators provide clear feedback on successful reads, helping operators stay focused on the task at hand.
- Maintenance and sanitation are straightforward with the NuScan 2400U. The compact design makes cleaning simple, and the waterproof construction resists moisture and splashes encountered in food service, healthcare-adjacent environments, and manufacturing floors. The durable build minimizes downtime due to spills, dust, or routine cleaning cycles, enabling teams to sanitize the device quickly between uses and maintain proper hygiene standards without sacrificing performance.

How to install Adesso NuScan 2400U
- Unpack the NuScan 2400U and inspect the package to ensure all components are present. Check the scanner’s window and cable for any signs of damage before first use.
- Connect the scanner to your host device using the appropriate interface. For USB, plug the USB cable into a free USB port on the computer or POS terminal. The scanner will typically enumerate as a HID keyboard device and begin transmitting scanned data directly into the active text field.
- Power on the host system and open a text field or data entry area. Scan a barcode to verify that the data appears correctly in the input field. If the data appears, the basic plug-and-play setup is complete and ready for standard operation.
- If your system relies on serial communication (RS-232), configure the host to accept serial input from the scanner. In some environments, you may need to adjust baud rate, parity, or data format settings via the host application or an optional configuration utility provided by Adesso. Refer to the user manual for precise instructions relevant to your model variant.
- Test several different barcode types and label conditions (clear, damaged, and lightly printed codes) to confirm consistent reads. Clean the scan window if you notice any glare or dirt affecting scan performance, and ensure the device remains dry and free of obstructing debris for reliable operation.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Is the NuScan 2400U truly waterproof or water-resistant? A: The NuScan 2400U is designed to perform in wet environments and is built to resist moisture and splashes. It is intended to withstand daily exposure to moisture and cleaning processes typical of industrial settings, making it suitable for kitchens, laboratories, warehouses, and outdoor work areas. Always wipe it dry after cleaning and avoid submersion unless specified by the manufacturer’s documentation.
- Q: What barcode formats can it read? A: It reads common 1D barcode formats such as UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, and Interleaved 2 of 5. It excels at standard retail and industrial labeling tasks and is well-suited for applications requiring quick, reliable 1D scans on straight, flat, or slightly curved surfaces.
- Q: What interfaces are supported? A: The NuScan 2400U provides USB connectivity for modern systems and RO-232 serial compatibility for legacy equipment. This dual-interface design enables straightforward integration with POS systems, warehouse management software, and other enterprise solutions without the need for additional adapters.
- Q: Will it work with Windows, macOS, and Linux? A: In most cases, USB HID mode makes the scanner plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments. For systems requiring serial input, ensure the host is configured to receive RS-232 data and that appropriate drivers or serial configuration are in place if needed.
- Q: How should I maintain and clean the scanner? A: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild cleaning agents appropriate for electronics. Avoid harsh solvents or immersion in liquids. Regular cleaning helps preserve the clarity of the scan window and prolongs the device’s life in challenging work settings.
