Zebra RS6100 Ring Scanner Single Trigger, Bluetooth, 2D, SE5500, 735mAh, -20°C to 50°C

SKU: 

RS61B0-KESSXWR

Fitted with a 735 mAh Li-Ion battery, the Zebra RS61B0-KESSXWR is a Bluetooth wearable ring scanner built around the SE55 imager, reaching a scanning distance of 46.17 ft and resolving Code 39 down to 3 mil. The SE55 area-scan engine delivers a 2688 x 1520 image sensor resolution with a 37-degree horizontal and 21-degree vertical field of view, handling 1D symbologies including Code 39, Code 128, UPC/EAN and GS1 DataBar alongside 2D formats such as PDF417, DataMatrix, QR Code and Aztec, plus OCR-A and OCR-B. Reading angles span 60 degrees skew, 60 degrees pitch and a full 360-degree roll, and the scanner tolerates ambient light to 107639 lux. IP65-rated and tested to multiple 6 ft drops to concrete, it operates from -22 F (-30 C) to 122 F (50 C) and stores from -40 F (-40 C) to 158 F (70 C) at 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity. The 2.6-in body measures 1.3 in wide by 0.8 in deep, connects via Bluetooth or serial host interface, and suits warehouse, distribution, manufacturing and logistics deployments.

The Zebra RS6100 Wearable is a professional-grade hands-free barcode scanning family designed for high-throughput enterprise workflows in warehousing, logistics, retail and cold‑chain environments. Built around Zebra SE55/SE5500 area imagers, RS6100 variants deliver fast, reliable capture of 1D and 2D codes — including scratched or poorly printed labels — while enabling mobile operators to keep both hands free. Rugged IP65 construction, removable Li‑ion batteries in multiple capacities, Bluetooth connectivity (including Bluetooth 5.2, BLE and NFC on some SKUs) and a range of wearable mounts provide flexible deployment, reduced downtime and improved operator productivity across demanding operational settings.

Key Features

  • Hands‑free wearable design: Back‑of‑hand and hand‑mount formats with interchangeable wearing options keep workers mobile and productive without interrupting tasks.
  • Advanced area imaging: SE55/SE5500 imagers provide dependable 1D/2D capture, including challenging, damaged, or poorly printed barcodes.
  • Flexible connectivity: Wireless Bluetooth integration (including Bluetooth 5.2 and BLE), NFC tap‑to‑pair on select SKUs and wired options for tight integration with enterprise devices.
  • Rugged and field‑ready: IP65 ingress protection, drop and ESD protection on industrial SKUs ensure reliable operation in harsh environments and cold storage.
  • Removable, swappable batteries: Li‑ion battery options (standard and extended capacities) enable hot‑swap replacement to minimize downtime during shifts.
  • Extended scanning range: Models support short‑to‑long range capture (examples include standard range up to 12.2 m and long‑range options for extended distances) to suit different workflow requirements.
