Honeywell Xenon XP 1952h Healthcare Cordless 1D/2D Barcode Scanner White USB Kit with FIPS Presentation Base 1952HHD-5USB-5F-N

End of life. Honeywell ended production of the Xenon XP 1952h in July 2024, with a last renewal date of December 2028 and end of service in December 2029. Honeywell's discontinuation table names the Xenon 1960h as the replacement, but that model is corded; the like-for-like cordless healthcare successor is the Honeywell Xenon Ultra 1962h healthcare scanner range. Remaining 1952h stock is sold for fleet matching, replacement units and validated workflows where requalifying a new scanner is not practical.

Key Features

• Cordless healthcare area imager reading 1D, PDF, 2D, postal, Digimarc, DotCode and OCR codes.
• High Density focus optics resolve the small, dense codes found on vials, syringes and wristbands.
• White disinfectant-ready housing stands up to the repeated wipe-downs a clinical schedule demands.
• Reads a 13 mil UPC in motion at up to 400 cm per second, so operators need not pause on each label.
• Bluetooth 4.2 with adaptive frequency hopping reaches 100 m line of sight in Class 1 operation.
• 2400 mAh battery delivers up to 72,000 scans or 20 hours of operation between charges.
• IP52 sealed and engineered for 50 drops to concrete from 1.8 m plus 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 m.
• Captures barcodes off a phone, tablet or monitor as readily as off printed labels.
• Supports USB, Keyboard Wedge, RS-232 and IBM 46xx over RS485, with the cable setting the interface.
• Ships as a kit with the CCB12-010BT-HCF-N FIPS presentation charge and communication base and a 3 m USB cable included.
• FIPS-certified base for deployments with a formal cryptographic requirement on the link.

What Is Included

1952HHD-5USB-5F-N is a complete kit rather than a bare scanner, and that is the single most important thing to know before ordering it. Three items ship under this one part number: the white disinfectant-ready Xenon XP 1952h cordless scanner, a CBL-500-300-S00 3 metre USB Type A straight cable, and the CCB12-010BT-HCF-N FIPS presentation charge and communication base. The base is in the box. That is everything needed to put a working cordless scanning station on a nursing station, pharmacy bench or specimen collection point, and it is why this part number should never be listed or sold as scanner only.

Healthcare Housing

The 1952h is not simply a white version of the general-purpose 1952g. The housing is moulded in disinfectant-ready plastics chosen to survive repeated cleaning with the quaternary ammonium, bleach and alcohol wipes a clinical cleaning schedule uses, rather than clouding, crazing and cracking after a few months the way ordinary ABS does. That matters because a scanner that fails cleaning is either replaced early or, worse, quietly stops being cleaned. The white finish also matches the equipment already deployed on a ward, which keeps it from reading as an intruder on a medication cart or bedside trolley.

Scan Performance

This part number carries the High Density focus engine, a 1280 by 800 area imager tuned for the small, dense codes healthcare actually produces: 2D Data Matrix on a vial cap, a linear code wrapped round a syringe barrel, a wristband printed at the edge of legibility by a bedside printer. Scan angles are 48 degrees horizontal by 30 vertical, and motion tolerance runs to 400 cm per second on a 13 mil UPC, so a nurse can sweep the scanner across a wristband rather than lining it up. It reads off a phone or monitor as readily as off paper, which covers electronic patient records displayed on screen.

Cordless Operation

The 1952h links to its base over Bluetooth 4.2 with adaptive frequency hopping, which is what keeps it working in a hospital corridor full of other radios rather than degrading as more devices are added. Default operation is Class 1 at up to 100 metres line of sight, programmable down to Class 2 at 10 metres where a shorter, lower-power link is preferred. Batch mode stores scans taken out of range and uploads them on return, so a nurse who steps away from the base does not silently lose reads. Pairing is done by scanning the barcode printed on the base.

Battery and Runtime

The 2400 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 72,000 scans or 20 hours of operation per charge, with a full charge taking about 4.5 hours. Twenty hours covers a long shift with margin, and the normal pattern is to return the scanner to its base between uses so it is topped up continuously rather than run flat and recharged. The battery pack carries a one-year warranty against the scanner's three, which is worth budgeting for on a unit expected to stay in service across several years of ward use. Packs are replaceable, so an ageing battery does not retire the scanner.

Durability

The 1952h is rated IP52, sealed against dust and dripping water, and is engineered to withstand 50 drops to concrete from 1.8 metres plus 2,000 tumbles at 0.5 metres. In a clinical setting those are not theoretical numbers: a scanner tethered to a medication cart gets knocked off it, and a scanner used at a bedside gets dropped onto a hard floor. Operating range is 0 to 50 degrees Celsius at 0 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity, and it reads in ambient light from darkness up to 100,000 lux. The scanner weighs 213 g and measures 104.1 by 71.1 by 160 mm.

Ordering Notes

Part number 1952HHD-5USB-5F-N is the High Density focus, white disinfectant-ready cordless kit with a presentation base, supplied for North America only, TAA compliant and assembled in Mexico. The F in the base code denotes FIPS certification and pairs the kit with the FIPS base rather than the standard one, which is the only difference from the otherwise identical part number without it. On this family the first numeric segment sets housing colour, the presence of USB in the code means a cable is included, and the second segment sets which base ships. Confirm the exact part number before ordering and match what is installed when replacing a unit.

For hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and clinics that need a disinfectant-ready cordless scanning station out of one box, the Honeywell Xenon XP 1952h 1952HHD-5USB-5F-N remains a proven choice while stock lasts. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
