Zebra RS4000 Wearable bar code reader 1D Laser Grey, Silver

The Zebra RS4000 wearable bar code reader is a lightweight, wired 1D scanner with a laser sensor designed for hands-free scanning in industrial and commercial environments. With an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance and a compact weight of 56.7 g, the RS4000 is intended to be paired with wearable computers and headsets to provide mobile, continuous scanning while maintaining reliable performance at a maximum read rate of 116 reads/s. The device supports DC power input of 3.1–3.6 V and is available in grey and silver finishes.

Advantages

The RS4000 delivers fast 1D barcode capture via a laser sensor and wired connectivity, offering consistent read performance up to 116 reads per second. Its low weight and compact form factor make it comfortable for extended wear, while the IP54 rating provides protection against dust and splashes. The scanner integrates with Zebra wearable ecosystems to enable multimodal solutions that can increase worker productivity and reduce errors compared with speech-only wearable setups.
