TSL’s very popular 2128/2128P series has been updated with new, performance-boosting internal hardware together with the market’s most advanced security features. The inclusion of a ‘Power Handle’ increases battery capacity, which combined with more efficient hardware provides longer running times than ever before. The 3138 Reader is a highly versatile UHF RFID read/write solution leveraging on TSL’s extensive software environment, whilst providing a superior user experience thanks to:

• Faster data acquisition
• Better RFID performance and processing capabilities
• Most secure UHF handheld reader on the market
• Longer operating times and more tags read in a single charge
• Optional Hot Swap accessory allows continuous, 24/7 operation of the handheld reader.
• Many new and differentiating features

RAIN RFID

Next Level RFID Performance

• Next generation Impinj E710 core
• Tag read rate up to 1200 tags per second
• Better rate of tag acquisition in high density tag environments
• Reads and Writes to EPC Global Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID tags (ISO18000-63), also known as RAIN RFID
• Support newly added for EPC Class 1 Gen 2 v2
• Circularly Polarised antenna, carefully tuned for maximum read range in front of the reader (and minimal reading from behind!)
• Up to 9 m (29.5 ft) Read Range

New Bluetooth® Advances

• BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) enabled – no need for MFI (Apple) app registration
• Around a 2x speed boost for Bluetooth Classic in iOS
• Bluetooth v4.2 compliant (v5.1 compatible)
• Independent battery status and device information service
• Supports SPP Profile, HID Profile, Apple iAP2, BLE

Enhanced Ergonomics

• Visual feedback from addressable and dimmable LEDs on each side of the antenna (3 per side)
• Audio feedback from a volume configurable speaker, able to play PCM sounds (.wave format)
• Haptic feedback using powerful, embedded vibration motors for various notifications and use cases.
• Repositioned gravity center reduces wrist fatigue for all-day use

Convenient, Time-Saving Features

NFC Pairing

• Bluetooth® connection can be established simply by positioning a smartphone’s NFC sensor on top of the 3138 reader’s label

Asset tracking solution readiness

• Built-in UHF tag for asset tracking and management solutions. 3138 exposes its ID to other reading systems and hides it in use

Batch data storage

• Save up to 500 million tags to the 32GB of embedded storage and later sync with PC for data retrieval/analysis

New Power Handle

Longer operating time

• Over 2x longer operating time vs 2128P and Varta XL battery

Flexible Charging

• Charge 3138 Reader
• Charge 3138 Reader plus host device (when using ePop-Loq Mounts)
• Charge Power Handles as a stand-alone unit – without requiring a cartridge battery charger!

USB-C connector or pogo pins

• USB-C for convenience and wide charger compatibility
• Pogo pins option allows use with docking cradle (with its own USB-C port)
• Over 400MB/s data transfer

Longer battery lifespan

• Fewer charging cycles thanks to higher capacity and lower power consumption, which results in an extended battery lifespan

Lower cost of ownership

• Reduce the cost of the solution as the 2128P’s mandatory cradle becomes optional and the battery has a longer lifespan

ePop-Loq® Connector

• Allows direct USB data and charge connection to Hand-Held Terminals (HHT) using special ePop-Loq Mounts
• New, Faster ePop-Loq mode (compared to 2128P) to accommodate the higher tag throughput demanded by the 3138
