Once the host computer receives the data from the PTC, it uses
that data to update its master files and records. In some cases,
the host computer may even transmit data back to the PTC,
asking you, as the PTC’s operator, to perform a new task.

Models
This manual covers the three optical models of the PTC-860:
PTC-860, PTC-860ES, and PTC-860NI. These three models are
similar but have the following differences:
•
The PTC-860 has a wand port (used to connect bar-code
readers) on its side.
•
The PTC-860ES (Environmentally Sealed) resembles
the PTC-860 model but is specially sealed for use in
harsh environments. The unit does not have a wand
port for connecting bar-code readers. Wands must be
connected through the PTC’s 25-pin connector.
•
The PTC-860NI (Non-Incendive) is designed for use in
hazardous locations. (Refer to the “Use in hazardous
locations” section on page 9 for the locations in which
the unit is approved for use.)
No accessories are approved for use with the
PTC-860NI in hazardous locations. However, all
PTC-860 accessories can be used with the unit in
non-hazardous locations. Like the PTC-860ES, the
PTC-860NI does not have a wand port; bar-code readers
must be connected through the unit’s 25-pin connector.
Unlike the other two PTC-860 optical models, which can
use either an AFAT nickel-cadmium battery pack or AA
alkaline batteries, the PTC-860NI can be used with only
an AFAT nickel-cadmium battery pack.
