About

The RS-3000 has a proven and most powerful 2D engine built-in enabling fast and accurate scanning up to 100 fps. It rapidly and easily scans barcodes off cell phone, tablet and computer displays and even scans curved, wide, poorly printed, and damaged barcodes with no challenge. The exceptional motion tolerance is ideal for any application, even from a wide range or angle.

• Durable; even in a challenging warehouse environment, the RS-3000 can withstand a 1.5 m drop onto concrete due to the durable, high impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic.
• Wireless charging; the RS-3000 can be charged wirelessly with any Qi-compatible charging pad. Of course, it is also possible to charge it via the USB-C port.
• NFC tag; the built-in tag that can be used by most modern devices for easy Bluetooth pairing.
• Bluetooth 4.2; the RS-300 features a modern Bluetooth 4.2 compliant chip that supports both Bluetooth classic as well as Bluetooth low energy (BLE). It uses less power and is faster, allowing data transfer up to two and a half times faster than earlier versions.
• USB-C; the companion scanner comes with a USB-C charging/communication port. it supports USB-HID, USB-COM and USB-MSD.
• Battery lifetime: The ringscanner does not use a lot of power during operation, making it last a whole working day without having the need to recharge, even up to 20 hours of operating time. With the accurate battery monitoring system, you will always know when it is time to recharge.

Firmware Loading

There are multiple components to the firmware on an RS3000 (Bootloader, OS, and Application). However the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. In most cases, all you'll need to do is load the OS and the proper Application file for your needs.

Follow the directions below to load firmware onto the RS3000.

Preparation

1. Download the Firmware: Bootloader, Firmware: OS, and Appload for this process available in the Software Downloads section. You may also need Opticon's USB Drivers, so please download those as well.
2. Download the appropriate Firmware: Application file for your needs. This is most likely to be the Bluetooth Application, however there are other Applications available. A complete list can be found in the Downloads Section at the bottom of the page.
3. Extract the RS3000 Bootloader and Firmware - OS zip files, the Appload.zip file, the USB Drivers Installer.zip file, and the RS3000 Firmware - Application files into a convenient folder.
4. Install Appload by double-clicking the 'Appload Setup.exe' file, which will start the install wizard. The defaults are fine in most cases, so keep clicking 'Next' until you are finished. Appload will launch at the end of the installation process.
5. Connect the RS3000 to your PC

Install the Firmware

1. Launch Appload if it is not already running.
2. We first need to choose the correct COM port. From the main Appload window, select 'Settings' > 'Port', then choose the port that says 'Opticon USB Code Reader'.
3. Now we can start downloading the OS and Application. For each of the .hex files you downloaded and extracted above, please choose 'File', then 'Download', then navigate to and select the file. You should see a progress indicator and the words 'Initializing IRdA' if this is working.
4. When complete the RS3000 will emit a series of beeps and reboot. When the LED is steady RED (indicating charging) or GREEN (indicating fully charged) the process is complete and you may disconnect your RS3000 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.
