RS5100 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
The ‘Go-Everywhere’ Single-Finger Featherweight and Rugged Ring Scanner
Ring scanners can provide your workforce with the hands-free scanning they need to maximize productivity. But today’s workers have high expectations for wearable devices. They expect a modern design with a minimal footprint for maximum comfort, ease-of-use that’s so intuitive that virtually no training is required, plus point-and-shoot scanning simplicity on every barcode. Your business requires a flexible design that’s just as at home in customer-facing areas as the warehouse, a rugged design to ensure a long lifecycle with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), scanning options that match the needs of your environment, plus backroom accessories that reduce management time and cost. Now, you can have it all with the RS5100. A comfortable, featherlight-yet-rugged industrial design at home anywhere in your facility. Zebra’s advanced scan engines for unmatched scanning performance. And features that drive ease-of-use and manageability to a new level.
Superior ergonomics, ease-of-use and application flexibility
The small, light, low-profile RS5100 is purposefully understated at just over two ounces and two cubic inches — about 1/2 the size and weight of the legacy RS507X ring scanner.
With Bluetooth, there’s no cable for workers to manage — and handheld host devices can even remain in a holster. Workers can choose their preferred wearing style — on the right or left hand on either a finger or the back of hand, or on a lanyard.
Multiple LEDs on the back of the RS5100 can blink to indicate whether workers should turn left or right, or continue straight ahead.
Since the trigger assembly is the only part of the RS5100 that touches skin, we created a modular two-piece design that separates the trigger assembly from the scanner body, providing the option to give each worker their own trigger.
Unmatched versatility and flexibility
Pair the RS5100 with virtually any Zebra enterprise-class mobile device to unlock the full feature set. With Class 1 Bluetooth support, you can roam up to 300 feet/91.44 m from the host device, ideal when paired to vehicle mount computers or a dongle in a laptop or other device.
With NFC, workers can simply tap the RS5100 on NFC-enabled Zebra devices, such as the WT6000 wearable computer and the TC52 handheld mobile computer. No need to scan a pairing barcode or open Bluetooth settings to identify and select the device.
The RS5100 — the next generation in wireless ring scanner design, performance and versatility, ready for your warehouse, distribution center or retail front and back room.

The RS5100 is the only ring scanner in its class that can support back-to-back shifts without recharging — just swap the batteries to keep it out of the charger and on the fingers of your workers. Choose from two PowerPrecision+ batteries. The standard battery lasts more than a full shift, providing 12 hours of power and 14,400 scans on a single charge. The extended battery powers longer shifts, enables operation in cold environments and provides a longer battery lifecycle. And with PowerPrecision Console, a no-cost Mobility DNA tool, you can spot and discard aging batteries that can no longer hold a full charge, ensuring that your RS5100 ring scanners always have a healthy battery — and workers won’t run out of power during a shift.
The SE4710 delivers high performance scanning with red illumination and an orange LED aiming spot. The global shutter and high-end lens in the SE4770 offer improved scan range compared to the legacy RS507X, for intensive scanning applications. The SE4770’s crisp red laser cross-hair aimer is available with white or red illumination.
Choose from visual LED lights or an audible beeper to provide verification of a successful scan. A tactile vibration option alerts workers to exception cases in noisy back rooms.
The single-sided trigger can be used with or without gloves, and is adaptable for use on either hand. The double trigger allows workers to switch hands on-the-fly, and is designed for use on bare fingers. And the built-in top trigger that is available on either the single- or double-trigger configurations allows users to wear the RS5100 on the side of a finger for a near zero protrusion above the hand — ideal for picking in tight spots.
Best-in-class scanning performance
Both scan engine options enable the near instant capture of even damaged, dirty and poorly printed 1D and 2D barcodes through PRZM Intelligent Imaging, a megapixel sensor and Zebra’s superior algorithms.
Now, it’s easier to scan barcodes, in particular larger barcodes. The wider field of view creates a bigger ‘sweet spot’, greatly minimizing the need to constantly adjust the distance between the scanner and the barcode.
Rugged and ready for the enterprise
The RS5100 offers a best-in-class rugged design, with sealing, a drop specification and a tumble specification, ensuring reliable operation. It’s designed to handle drops, bumps, and even a high-pressure hose down. And the metal buckle and nylon straps on the finger mount won’t wear out or stretch like the hook-and-loop fasteners in some competitive devices, which only last a few months.
The trigger is rated for millions of actuations (trigger presses) — instead of the competition’s few hundred thousand actuations. The result — less frequent replacement of triggers and a lower TCO.
The removable and swappable trigger assembly is designed to minimize trips to the service depot and maximize lifecycle. And since the charge contacts and vibration engine are also integrated into the trigger assembly, you can replace all three components right on site, cost-effectively — and with virtually no down time.
The RS5100 is built to handle higher levels of electrostatic discharge than competitive products — a common issue with concrete flooring that could easily destroy sensitive scanner electronics.
Innovative accessories simplify the backroom and reduce management time and cost
High capacity ShareCradles can charge 20 RS5100 ring scanners or 40 RS5100 batteries, cost-effectively reducing backroom cost and management time. For example, use just 5 high-capacity RS5100 ShareCradles to charge 100 scanners — instead of 100 USB charging cables.
