The latest release of TracerPlus has native RFID compatibility with the following RFID devices and Sleds:

  • Janam XR2
  • Zebra MC333xR and MC339xR
  • Zebra RFD90 Sleds (PTS recommends Device OS and and Sled Firmware are up to date)
    • eConnex to select Zebra handhelds (TC22/27, TC53/58, TC73/78).
    • Paired via Bluetooth with Android and iOS devices.
  • Zebra RFD40 Sleds (PTS recommends Device OS and and Sled Firmware are up to date)
    • Standard Sleds via eConnex to select Zebra handhelds (TC22/27, TC53/58).
    • Premium and Premium Plus Bluetooth RFID Sleds when paired with Android and iOS devices.

  • Zebra TC53e RFID (Device OS Update recommended)
  • Zebra EM45 RFID (Device OS Update recommended)
  • Honeywell IH40
  • Microsensys PENSolid UHF and HF scanners when paired with an Android device

The following End of Life (EOL) devices are no longer available for sale but supported by older versions of TracerPlus:

  • Zebra MC333R and MC339R
  • Zebra TC21/26 or Zebra EC50/55 w/ the Zebra RFD40 Standard RFID Sled using eConnex Adaptor 
  • Zebra TC20 w/ Zebra RFD2000 Sled
  • Zebra RFD8500 Bluetooth RFID Sleds when paired with Android and iOS devices
  • Alien ALR-H460

When utilizing a non-supported RFID device you will need a device specific application sometimes known as an RFID wedge, or scan wedge. This needs to be running in the background to support the RFID Scanner on the device in order to scan RFID tags into TracerPlus forms. Smart form RFID events will not be usable within a TracerPlus form and using a RFID Wedge also makes it impossible to use the InputType: RFID in a field as TracerPlus considers RFID Wedge to be akin to a keyboard. Please Note: Some other features such as Geiger are not available when using a wedge.

The RFID wedge setup instructions should be available in the device's user guide.

Key Points:

  • RFID Wedge must be on to scan RFID.
  • Smart Form RFID events will not be usable.
  • Input Type: RFID is not a usable field setting.
  • The Geiger feature will not work.
  • Will not be able to Write to the Tag's EPC or User Memory banks.
