Zebra RS5100 Wireless Ring Barcode Scanner (RS51C0-TBDNWR)

The Zebra RS5100 is a featherlight Bluetooth wearable ring scanner – just 70 g and barely larger than a matchbox – that reads 1D and 2D barcodes while both hands stay free for the goods. Built for warehouses, distribution centres and the retail floor alike, it pairs in a second with Zebra mobile computers such as the WT6300 wearable or the TC52 handheld by NFC tap-to-pair, and also connects to any Bluetooth smartphone, tablet or PC. This version, RS51C0-TBDNWR, uses the SE4770 imager with global shutter and red laser cross-hair aimer, comes with the double trigger and the standard 480 mAh battery.

Key Features

• Hands-free scanning – worn on the finger, on the back of the hand or on a lanyard, the RS5100 lets workers keep both hands on the goods while they pick, pack and sort.
• SE4770 scan engine – global shutter, high-end lens and a wider 48° field of view for intensive scanning; the crisp red laser cross-hair aimer gives pinpoint accuracy, with twice the range of the legacy RS507X (up to about 92 cm for 20 mil Code 39).
• Captures virtually any barcode – Zebra PRZM Intelligent Imaging, a megapixel sensor and Zebra's decoding algorithms read even damaged, dirty and poorly printed 1D and 2D barcodes almost instantly.
• Double trigger – worn on one finger with a trigger on each side, so users can change hands on the fly without removing it; charge contacts for the RS5100 ring scanner cradles.
• Five interchangeable wearing styles – single finger mount with single or double trigger, back of hand mount, enterprise hand mount and lanyard trigger; mounts can be swapped at any time and are shared with the RS6100.
• Just tap to pair – tap the RS5100 on an NFC-enabled Zebra device such as the WT6300 or TC52, with no pairing barcode or Bluetooth menu needed.
• Bluetooth 5.2 with BLE – connects to Zebra handheld, wearable and vehicle-mount computers or to any Bluetooth smartphone, tablet or PC (HID and SPP profiles) – no cable to the host for workers to manage.
• Standard 480 mAh battery – the PowerPrecision+ battery lasts more than a full shift (up to 12 hours and 14,400 scans per charge) and is removable, so a fresh battery is swapped in within seconds for back-to-back shifts.
• Tiny and practically weightless – just 70 g and 61 × 28 × 21 mm; the low profile does not get in the way when reaching into tight spaces.
• Rugged for the enterprise – IP65 sealing (it even survives a high-pressure hose-down), multiple 1.8 m drops to concrete, 1,000 tumbles and ±15 kV ESD protection; the metal buckle and nylon finger straps do not wear out like hook-and-loop fasteners.
• Long-life, personal triggers – triggers are rated for millions of actuations, and the modular two-piece design lets every worker have their own trigger for better hygiene; trigger, charge contacts and vibration motor are replaceable on site.
• Programmable LEDs and beeper – four programmable RGB LEDs on the back and a beeper of up to 85 dBA confirm every scan, even in noisy back rooms.
