Performance and Processing Power
The RS5000 features Zebra’s proprietary PRZM Intelligent Imaging technology for high-speed decoding, even on damaged or poorly printed barcodes. With a wide working range—from near contact up to 63.5 cm (25 in.)—it handles everything from close-in product labels to bulk storage scans. Its omni-directional scanning and fast processing speed reduce training time and improve cycle times in mission-critical applications.
Display and Input Design
The RS5000 does not include a display but features a two-color LED (red/green) for scan status and a manual ambidextrous scan trigger. The ring scanner is designed for comfortable left- or right-hand operation and features a separate, swappable finger strap to improve hygiene and worker personalization.
Connectivity and Expansion
This is a corded-only device, available in:
- Short or long cable versions for WT6400
- Short cable version for WT41N0
It connects via Zebra’s proprietary ports, making it incompatible with newer devices like the WT5400, which only support Bluetooth scanners, such as the Zebra RS5100
Battery Life and Charging
The RS5000 is powered directly from the wearable computer via its corded connection—no separate battery is required, eliminating the need for charging management and reducing weight.
Security and Data Protection
As a peripheral, the RS5000 does not store or process data independently. It inherits all data security controls from the host Zebra wearable device, ensuring consistent enterprise-grade security protocols.
