Why the DS3600-XR
The DS3600-XR is Zebra's extended-range model in its 3600 ultra-rugged family. Zebra names it as the replacement for the DS3608-ER and DS3678-ER, which stopped selling in APAC (including India) on 30 June 2025.
Two image sensors cover close and long distances. A 5 mil Code 39 label reads from 3.3 cm, while a 100 mil Code 39 label reads up to 32.0 m and a 200 mil Data Matrix up to 30.5 m, so a forklift driver can scan the top rack and the carton in hand.
A 520 nm green laser aimer marks the target, and two warm-white LEDs light the code. Zebra rates it for ambient light up to 107,639 lux, which covers outdoor yards and loading docks.
Sealed to IP65 and IP68, tested for multiple 3.0 m drops to concrete at room temperature and 7,500 tumbles at 1.0 m. The corded model works from -30 °C to 50 °C and the cordless model from -20 °C to 50 °C.
The cordless DS3678-XR uses a 3,100 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery rated for 80,000 scans per charge, which Zebra puts at 23 hours or more of continuous scanning. Its Class 1 Bluetooth 4.0 LE link has a minimum 100 m line-of-sight range, and Zebra's FLB charging cradle is sealed to IP65.
Zebra lists USB, RS232 and keyboard wedge. For PLCs and line controllers, Zebra's Network Connect for Automation adds industrial Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and standard TCP/IP) through a separate adapter.
Configure it with 123Scan, manage fleets with Scanner Management Service and build apps with the Scanner SDK. Allmark can connect it to your WMS or ERP, including our own warehouse management system, and set it up on site.

For buyers in India
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the DS3600-XR. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
For a freezer run colder than -20 °C, choose the corded DS3608-XR: Zebra rates it down to -30 °C, and the cordless DS3678-XR down to -20 °C.
Put the DS3678-XR cradle in the ante-room or office, not inside the freezer. Zebra's reference guide says to charge the battery at 0 °C to 40 °C, ideally 5 °C to 35 °C, to avoid a battery temperature fault. The scanner works at -20 °C, but a cradle inside a -18 °C freezer is outside that charging range. The same limit applies at the hot end: on a dock above 40 °C, the battery is outside its charging range.
Expect moisture on the housing and scan window when a scanner leaves a cold store; Zebra recommends its heated scanner holder to reduce window condensation when moving in and out of freezers. Zebra rates the DS3600-XR for 5-95% humidity, non-condensing, and seals the housing to IP65 and IP68.
Keep the scanner out of direct sun on forklift seats and dock plates, where it gets hotter than the air. Both DS3600-XR models are rated to work up to 50 °C and to be stored up to 70 °C.
Quote Zebra's 'India & Korea' configurations when ordering: DS3608-XR60003VZK (corded) and DS3678-XR6F003VZK (cordless), as listed in its reference guide. Where the host cannot power the cradle, Zebra's 12 V supply PWR-BGA12V50W0WW is rated for 100-240 V AC input, which covers India's 230 V mains.

Questions buyers ask
The DS3600-XR price depends on the cable or accessories you need and the quantity. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.
Zebra stopped selling the DS3608-ER and DS3678-ER in APAC, which includes India, on 30 June 2025, and names the DS3600-XR as the replacement. Zebra support for the ER models continues until October 2030, so existing units can stay in use. For new purchases, the XR adds a second far-range sensor, a green laser aimer and longer reach on large labels, and it is lighter.
It depends on the label size. Zebra's typical ranges are 3.3 cm to 3.7 m for a 13 mil UPC-A, up to 26.7 m for a 100 mil Code 128, up to 32.0 m for a 100 mil Code 39 and up to 30.5 m for a 200 mil Data Matrix. Include your rack heights and label sizes in your quote request.
Choose the corded DS3608-XR for fixed workstations, packing lines and the coldest areas, as it works down to -30 °C. Choose the cordless DS3678-XR for forklifts and walking pickers: it works down to -20 °C, gives up to 80,000 scans per charge and connects over Bluetooth with a minimum 100 m line-of-sight range.
Yes, within its ratings. Zebra rates the scanner IP65 and IP68, tests it for repeated 3.0 m drops to concrete and 7,500 tumbles, and rates it for ambient light up to 107,639 lux. For a freezer run colder than -20 °C, choose the corded DS3608-XR, rated to -30 °C. The cordless DS3678-XR is rated to -20 °C and its battery charges at 0-40 °C, so keep its cradle outside the freezer.
Yes. We install the DS3600-XR 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.
