TSL 3166 Bluetooth Rugged UHF RFID Reader [With 2D Imager]

Latest Hardware Advances

The new 3166 RAIN RFID UHF Reader boasts TSL®’s latest hardware innovations and performance improvements, in a more efficient reader with an all-day battery life.

Using the latest generation of Impinj silicon, read rates have been boosted up to 1200 tags per second. Multiple tag operations per tag are possible during an inventory scan - read multiple areas of each tag, or write to or even lock the tag. On-reader de-duplication prevents overwhelming the connected host with information.

Support has been added for passive sensor transponders (temperature, strain, humidity, acceleration) from HID and others – contact TSL for information regarding how to utilise these sensor transponders.

Designed to read and write to EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and EPC Class 1 Gen 2V2 tags, the 3166 can also be configured with class-leading high-performance 2D data scanning to bring unparalleled data collection capabilities to any host it is connected to.

Single Point Charge Solution

The 3166 Docking Station allows charging of both the 3166 RAIN RFID UHF Reader and a smartphone or handheld terminal attached via an ePop-Loq mount. The unique design can accommodate a wide range of devices from many handheld and smartphone manufacturers. The 3166 Reader boasts a faster ePop-Loq mode than previous TSL readers to accommodate higher tag throughput.

Tough Impact Resistant Housing

The 3166 Reader from TSL provides high-performance UHF RFID reading and writing in an incredibly tough and rugged form factor. The reader is highly resistant to water, dust, and mechanical trauma. A high-capacity battery provides non-stop operation of the reader over the full working day.

Platform Independence

Use existing Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled host devices including Enterprise Handhelds, Consumer Phones, Tablets, and PCs – the 3166 will bring high-performance RFID and 2D scanning to all these devices running a wide range of Operating Systems.

In addition to Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low-Energy provides a modern, secure link to even more devices.

Extensive software support is available for a wide range of platforms including code samples, demonstration applications, and source code.

Warranty and Support

The 3166 Reader is warranted against manufacturing defects for a period of one year (12 months) from the date of shipment, provided the product remains unmodified and is operated under normal and proper conditions.
