The Newland NVH220 Lophius is an industrial 2D handheld scanner built for direct part marking (DPM): it reads laser-etched and dot-peened Data Matrix codes as well as ordinary printed 1D and 2D barcodes. AI-powered decoding locates and reconstructs damaged, distorted or poorly marked codes, even on reflective and curved surfaces, a versatile multi-light illumination system adapts to every material, and IP64 sealing with 1.8 m drop resistance makes it ready for the production floor and the warehouse. This version, NLS-NVH220B-V2-XD, is the NVH220 Lophius AI Bluetooth kit (second generation, V2): it is supplied with a 2900 mAh battery, a charging and communication cradle, a 2 m USB cable and a 5 V power supply – ready to use, with a USB, RS-232 or Ethernet connection to the host.
📦 What's in the box – NLS-NVH220B-V2-XD
- ✅ Newland NVH220 Lophius AI scanner – cordless 2D/DPM imager with AI decoding – Bluetooth 5.0
- ✅ Rechargeable battery – Li-ion, 2900 mAh – at least 17 hours of continuous operation or up to 60,000 scans per charge; charges in approx. 3 hours
- ✅ Charging and communication cradle – Newland CD220 – charges the scanner, receives its scans via Bluetooth 5.0 and passes them to the host over USB, RS-232 or Ethernet
- ✅ USB cable – straight, 2 m – connects the cradle to a USB port on your PC or host
- ✅ 5 V power supply – 5 V / 3 A – powers the cradle; required for RS-232 and Ethernet connections
💡 How it connects: scan the pairing code on the cradle (or press its Pair button) to link the scanner. Scans are then sent via Bluetooth 5.0 to the cradle, which passes them to your PC, PLC or MES over USB, RS-232 or Ethernet (TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, MELSEC/SLMP). Range: up to 150 m in line of sight. RS-232 and Ethernet need the included power supply.
💡 To connect the cradle to your network, add the Newland CBL-0275E Ethernet cable (3 m). To keep the scanner within reach on a wall or machine, add the Newland NLS-STD-WM001 wall mount clip.

- Built for industry – IP64 sealing against dust and splashing water and resistance to repeated 1.8 m drops; beep, LED and vibration feedback confirm every read.
- Megapixel imager with laser aimer – 1280 × 800 sensor, 650 nm crosshair laser aimer, direct red and blue LEDs and diffuse white light, switchable with the auto-learning button on top of the scanner.
- Bluetooth 5.0 with up to 150 m range – a low-latency, interference-resistant link to the charging and communication cradle (line of sight).
- Battery for a full shift – 2900 mAh for at least 17 hours of continuous operation or up to 60,000 scans per charge; recharges in approx. 3 hours.
- Industrial connectivity – the cradle connects to the host via USB, RS-232 or Ethernet and supports TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET and MELSEC/SLMP for PLC and MES integration. 3-year warranty, extendable to 5 years.
Ideal Applications
- Automotive and metalworking – laser-etched and dot-peened DPM codes for part traceability
- Electronics manufacturing – Data Matrix codes on components and circuit boards
- Production lines and work-in-process tracking – integration with PLC and MES systems
- Warehousing and logistics – goods receiving, picking and inventory
- Transportation and maintenance – identification of assets and spare parts
