Honeywell Xenon XP 1952 Presentation Charge and Communication Base Bluetooth Black CCB10-010BT-07N

Key Features

• Charges a Honeywell Xenon XP 1952 handheld and carries its Bluetooth link back to the host.
• Presentation body holds the scanner upright on a counter for hands-free scanning between picks.
• Honeywell rates this base at 10 m (32.8 ft), published in its Xenon XP accessory guide.
• The host cable you fit decides the interface, so one base covers USB, wedge, RS-232 or IBM 46xx.
• Compact 5.2 x 4.0 x 3.2 in. footprint at 6.3 oz, sized for a till, bench or nurse station.
• Draws 2.5 W while charging and 0.75 W when idle, so a powered host or small supply runs it.
• Black general-purpose body, the counterpart to the healthcare-white CCB12-010BT-HC.
• Sold as a base on its own, which is the right part for a site already running Xenon XP 1952 handhelds.
• Keeps a spare handset charged and paired so a flat battery never stops a workstation.
• Honeywell also publishes a horizontal desktop and wall-mount body, CCB13-010BT-07N, on the same platform.

Key Specifications

• Product type: Presentation charge and communication base, sold on its own

• Rated range: 10 m (32.8 ft) as published for this base
• Scanner radio: Bluetooth v4.2 with adaptive frequency hopping, Class 1 at 100 m by default, programmable to Class 2 at 10 m
• Host interfaces: USB, keyboard wedge, RS-232 and RS-485 (IBM 46xx), selected by the cable
• Charging power: 2.5 W, 500 mA at 5 V DC, drawn while a handset is charging in the cradle
• Idle power: 0.75 W, 150 mA at 5 V DC when no handset is seated in the base
• Dimensions: 132 x 101 x 81 mm (5.2 x 4.0 x 3.2 in.)
• Weight: 179 g (6.3 oz), light enough to mount or reposition without tools

What this base does

A cordless scanner needs somewhere to charge and something to talk to, and on the Xenon XP 1952 platform the charge and communication base is both. The handset drops into the cradle nose-up, charges while it sits there, and passes decoded data to the host over whichever cable is fitted to the base. The presentation shape matters as much as the electronics: the scanner is held at an angle with its window facing the operator, so items can be passed across it without picking the handset up at all. That turns a handheld into a fixed-position reader for the parts of a shift where both hands are busy, then back into a handheld the moment someone lifts it out.

What is not included

This part number is the base and nothing else. There is no scanner in the carton, no host cable and no power supply, and Honeywell states the position plainly in its quick start guide: the power supply must be ordered separately, if needed. That makes CCB10-010BT-07N the right part for a site that already runs Xenon XP 1952 handhelds and needs an additional or replacement cradle, and the wrong part for a first deployment, where a complete kit with scanner, base and cable is the sensible order instead. If you are unsure which of those you are looking at, tell us the handset part number you already own and we will confirm before you buy.

The cable sets interface

The base does not fix the interface; the cable plugged into it does. The same cradle presents USB, keyboard wedge, RS-232 or RS-485 for IBM 46xx terminals depending on the lead fitted, which is why the interface is not printed on the part number. Honeywell's USB Type A straight leads are CBL-500-200-S00 at two metres and CBL-500-300-S00 at three; wedge, serial and 46xx leads are separate part numbers again. The practical consequence is that a base bought without a cable does nothing on arrival, so the cable is not an accessory to consider later. Tell us the host and we will quote the matching lead alongside the base.

Range and radio

Two Honeywell figures apply here and they are easy to confuse. The accessory guide rates this base at 10 m (32.8 ft), and that is the number published against this part. The Xenon XP 1952 data sheet describes the handset's own radio as Bluetooth v4.2 with adaptive frequency hopping, Class 1 at 100 m line of sight by default and programmable down to Class 2 at 10 m. Adaptive frequency hopping is what keeps the link civil in a building already saturated with Wi-Fi, and the programmable class is worth knowing about: dropping to Class 2 deliberately shrinks the cell, which is often what you want where several bases sit close together.

Choosing the right body

Honeywell builds this cradle in more than one form and the differences are not cosmetic. CCB10-010BT-07N is the black presentation body, the general-purpose choice. CCB12-010BT-HC is the healthcare version, in healthcare white and carrying healthcare software, which is the part to order where the estate is a hospital rather than a warehouse or a shop floor. CCB13-010BT-07N is the horizontal desktop and wall-mount body for sites that would rather hang the cradle than stand it on a counter, and CCB15-010BT-HC is its healthcare counterpart. Battery-free Xenon XP kits are a separate line again and Honeywell supplies those with CCB11-010BT-07N-BF.

Power and placement

The base draws 2.5 W while charging a handset and 0.75 W when it is idle, at 500 mA and 150 mA respectively on a 5 V DC supply. Honeywell specifies an operating range of 5 to 40 C (41 to 104 F) for charging bases, which rules out an unheated loading bay in winter but covers any normal indoor workstation. Physically it is 132 x 101 x 81 mm and 179 g, small enough to sit beside a till or on a nurse station shelf without taking the space a horizontal cradle would. Because a powered host or a small external supply is enough to run it, the base rarely dictates where a workstation can go.

Fleet and spares

Where a site runs several of these, two related Honeywell parts are worth knowing. The spare battery for the Xenon XP 1952 handset is BAT-SCN05, and Honeywell also publishes standalone four-bay battery chargers, MB4-BAT-SCN01NAD0 for desk mounting and MB4-BAT-SCN01NAW0 for the wall, so packs can be rotated without tying up a communication base to do it. Scanner configuration, firmware and audit across a deployed fleet are handled by the Honeywell Scanner Management Utility, which means settings can be pushed to handsets rather than walked round the building on a sheet of configuration barcodes.

For any site already running Honeywell Xenon XP 1952 handhelds, the CCB10-010BT-07N presentation base is the straightforward way to add a charging and communication point at another workstation. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
