TSL – 3138 Bluetooth® Rugged RAIN RFID Reader

The TSL 3138 represents the latest generation of rugged Bluetooth® UHF RFID handheld readers, delivering unprecedented performance with read rates of up to 1200 tags per second thanks to the integrated Impinj E710 engine. Designed for long-range applications, the 3138 supports advanced features like multi-tag operations, HID OMNIKEY® security, and compatibility with sensor transponders (temperature, strain, humidity, acceleration).

Its Power Handle extends runtime with hot-swap capability, enabling 24/7 operation, while the ePop-Loq® mount allows simultaneous charging and data transfer with smartphones and handheld terminals. With optional 2D barcode scanning and support for millions of stored EPCs in batch mode, the 3138 is ideal for warehousing, logistics, retail, and industrial environments requiring speed, durability, and scalability .
