Reads DPM and complex codes in milliseconds on assembly lines
The BS512 Series is TVS Electronics' intelligent industrial DPM scanner for manufacturing and traceability. TVS says a quad-core processor and AI decoding read complex, high-density, damaged and Direct Part Marking (DPM) barcodes. DPM is what the series reads, not a separate model: TVS lists XD (ultra-high density), HD (high density) and SR (standard distance) versions, in wired and Bluetooth models.
Reads DPM and damaged codes
TVS says the quad-core processor and AI decoding read difficult DPM barcodes in milliseconds, from high-density barcodes to blurry DPM codes. TVS rates contrast down to 6% and codes from 3.33 mil.
Light for bright, dark and shiny surfaces
A white point light with red and blue surface light, plus a laser aimer. TVS says this captures codes in low light, in bright light and on reflective or blurred surfaces, and names electronics manufacturing and automotive assembly lines as the fit.
A version for each code size and distance
XD reads a 3.33 mil Code 128 from 0 cm to 2 cm. HD reads the same code from 2.5 cm to 9.5 cm. SR reads a 10.83 mil Code 128 from 2 cm to 41 cm and a 20.83 mil QR code from 0.5 cm to 51 cm.
Keeps up with moving codes
TVS rates motion tolerance at 2 m/s on a 13 mil UPC, and up to 8 m/s in its high motion fault-tolerant mode. The sensor is 1280 × 800 pixels with global exposure.
Built for the shop floor
IP67, multiple drops to a cement floor from 2 m, and a PC + GF + ABS housing. TVS says it guards against impacts, dust and water splashes.
Cordless, with a battery you can swap
The Bluetooth model has a detachable 3200 mAh battery, rated for at least 12 hours and over 100,000 scans a charge, with a charging time of 3 hours at 5 V, 2 A. TVS says a fresh battery swapped in removes downtime.
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the BS512 Series. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
Made in India
TVS Electronics describes its enterprise range as Made in India.
Check the version against your own parts
DPM reading depends on the mark, the surface and the distance. Tell us the mark type, its size and the material before you order, and we match XD, HD or SR to it in the quotation.
Wired: USB or RS232 to your line PC
The wired model connects by USB-HID, USB-CDC or RS232, at 5 V ± 0.5 V, 190 mA typical and 460 mA maximum. Tell us which port your station uses; the serial port cable is an optional accessory.
Bluetooth: measure the distance on your floor
TVS rates Bluetooth 5.0 up to 70 m in an open space, in HID, CDC or RS232 mode. Machines and racks are not open space, so tell us how far the scanning point is from the base.

Exploring for a different use?
If your job differs from what the BS512 Series is built for, these TVS models may fit it better:
Buyers who work on a harsh floor with oil, dust and hard drops, often look at the
TVS BS513 Series (Ultra-rugged DPM scanner, IP68, multiple 3 m drops, works from -20 °C).
Buyers who scan only printed labels, not marks cut into parts, often look at the
TVS BS510 BT (Bluetooth 5.0, 2,600 mAh battery for 12+ hours).
What is the price of the TVS BS512 Series in India?
The BS512 Series price depends on the cable or accessories you need and the quantity. We do not publish prices: share the model, quantity and city, and we send a written quotation with current pricing and
delivery time, replying within one working day.
Is the BS512 a DPM scanner, and is there a separate DPM version?
Yes, TVS states that the series reads Direct Part Marking (DPM) codes, and it names no separate DPM version. TVS's versions are XD, HD and SR, and its reading ranges are listed by code size, not by mark type. Tell us the mark and the material, and we confirm the version in your quotation.
Which version do we need: XD, HD or SR?
XD for the smallest codes read up close, such as a 3.33 mil Code 128 from 0 cm to 2 cm. HD for dense codes at a little more distance, the same code from 2.5 cm to 9.5 cm. SR for labels further away, such as a 20.83 mil QR code from 0.5 cm to 51 cm. Tell us the code size and the distance, and we suggest the version.
BS512 or BS513: which do we need?
TVS states DPM for both. The BS512 goes down to 6% contrast and is rated IP67 with 2 m drops, working from 0 °C to 50 °C. The BS513 goes down to 10% contrast but is rated IP68 with 3 m drops and 1,000 tumbles, working from -20 °C to 50 °C. Tell us your floor and your marks, and we suggest one.
What are the Bluetooth model's range and battery life?
TVS gives Bluetooth 5.0 up to 70 m in an open space, a detachable 3200 mAh battery, at least 12 hours of work and over 100,000 scans a charge, with 3 hours to charge at 5 V, 2 A. Machines, racks and walls shorten the range, so tell us the distance from the scanning point to the base.
Can it connect to our MES or line PC?
The wired model connects by USB-HID, USB-CDC or RS232, and the Bluetooth model through a base in the same three modes. Tell us your software and the port on your station when you ask for a quote, and we confirm the connection in writing.
Can we get the datasheet?
Yes. Download TVS's BS-512 Series brochure from TVS's website; the link is under the specifications. We confirm the version and the connection in writing in your quotation.
Can Allmark install the BS512 Series and connect it to our software?
Yes. We install the BS512 Series at your site, set it to send data the way your ERP, warehouse or billing software expects (our own warehouse management system included) and train your team. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
