Description
Your business today needs to work faster and more efficiently than ever before. With the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus UHF RFID mount, you get the performance edge and efficiency you need. It can be connected wirelessly to existing and future Zebra mobile computers either directly or via Bluetooth® 5.3 using eConnex™ adapters. Wi-Fi™ 6 is new for easy wireless device management.* Periodic inventories are faster with industry-leading read speeds of over 1,300 tags per second, optimized read range, three-function programmable trigger, higher battery capacity and optimized battery power. In addition there is a high fall resistance and the ergonomic design familiar from Zebra.
Next-generation connectivity
With the new eConnex™ technology that enables quick pairing and a bracket that supports the latest Zebra mobile computers, including WWAN-enabled models, you can make your workplace future-proof. In addition, the brackets can connect immediately to supported Zebra eConnex™-enabled devices, including TC21/26, EC50/55, and future models.
Wireless functions
The integrated Wi-Fi standard Wi-Fi 6 of the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus models enables easy wireless device management, and with Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC for pairing by tapping, you can easily connect to existing and future Zebra mobile computers and third-party smartphones.
Integrated barcode scanner
The RFD40 Premium Plus bracket also has an integrated SE4100 imager. It also provides 1D and 2D scanning for difficult bar codes – whether printed badly, damaged, dirty, wrinkled, glossy and low contrast, or on dimly lit mobile phone displays.
Unparalleled efficiency
The RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus UHF RFID brackets are superior to competitors, with a read speed of more than 1,300 tags per second (up to 30% faster than the direct competitor model), one
Reading range of over 6 m and the extremely precise Article search mode. Thanks to a 7,000 mAh battery with quick release (accessible without removing the mobile computer), it can remain in use for hours. With the three-function trigger, employees can quickly access RFID capture, barcode scanning, and a programmable third function, such as Enter or Push-to-Talk.
Wide range of uses
An adapter that is compatible with the Otterbox Universe ecosystem makes it easy to insert and remove a wide range of Android™ and iOS smartphones.
Adaptable solutions
The RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus brackets support current and future Zebra and third-party mobile computers and smartphones. The adapters can be changed quickly and easily without tools. At the same time, compatibility is ensured without the devices having to be converted.
Proven sturdiness
The devices from Zebra enable a reliable daily use. The RFD40 mounts offer a maximum drop height of 1.5 m on concrete and a fall resistance of 500 rollovers from 0.5 m/1.6 ft height, WAS is the real process of falling down. They have dust and splash protection in accordance with IP54 and an extended operating temperature range from -10 °C to 50 °C / 14 °F to 122 °F. This ensures that the RFD40 mounts meet the high demands of your facility.
Flexible, future-ready charging functions
The charging solutions for the RFD40 mounts provide a flexible power supply for the bracket and mobile computer. Each docking cradle has two set of cradle pins and can charge the RFD40 cradle or mobile computer separately or both together when connected. Docking trays are available for any combination of RFD40 mount and mobile computer, including TC21/26 and EC50/55. A USB-C connector on the bottom of the RFD40 mount and a pin connector allow an RFD40 mount to be connected to a Windows-based PC or other host via a USB-C cable or cable tray, allowing the RFD40 mount to be used as a wired RFID reader.
First-class development and support tools
Quickly switch to the latest generation of products without having to reprogram applications. The software development kits (SDKs) for the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus brackets are based on the latest Zebra SDKs for RFID handheld devices. All you need to do is recompile the current application with the new SDK to get the new RFD40 mounts ready for use. The RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus models can now be connected to the 123RFID desktop via USB cable, cable tray or Bluetooth, allowing you to configure the mounts directly and offline. Use 123RFID Desktop for feasibility studies, demos, and firmware upgrades.
No host? No problem!
If no real-time connection to back-end systems is available, batch mode enables the acquisition of up to 40,000 RFID tags. Synchronizing allows data to be uploaded from the RFD40 mounts to the host device at any time.
Innovative new docking stations
Zebra's ground-breaking docking stations are designed to make it easy to replace mobile computers. With only one coin bolt you can make changes without tools and without the hassle of plugging in and unplugging cable harnesses, WAS makes the exchange easier for all users. Docking stations that support the RFD40 Premium and Premium Plus brackets are available as single and multiple devices, with charging only and with communication function. To support communication, the single-communication docking stations have a micro-USB port for connecting to a host PC, while the multi-docking stations have an Ethernet port for connecting to a corporate network. This allows you to manage the RFD40 mounts in the docking station, set configurations, perform firmware upgrades, and get information about device health. This means you can get more information about your devices with less effort.
Secure battery-locking base
The RFD40 brackets have an optional battery locking stand that prevents user damage or theft.
