The Worth Data 7103 Series RF Terminals are the lowest cost, easy-to-use, radio frequency interactive terminals available on the market today.  These terminals communicate with a B557 Base Station access point attached to a PC, or any computer, via USB or a RS-232 serial COM port. They offer unprecedented performance while still holding claim to the easiest-to-implement of any mobile radio terminal system in the industry. This is the 3rd generation of Worth Data RF Terminals and they maintain complete software compatibility* with all older generations of Worth Data Terminals. Some of the industry leading features on the 7000 series terminals include:

• Long Range Radio - Up to 450m!
• 15 Line Color TFT LCD Display
• Very Small & Lightweight
• Ergonomic Rugged Housing
• Built in Li-Ion Battery(s)
• Shock Mounted LCD & PCB
• New For 2023 Die Cast Top Cover

Worth Data has been the leader in small size, long range RF Terminals for over 20 years. These rugged mobile RF Terminals are designed for all day use and excel in both the comfortable ergonomics and the scanning and radio performance. It is truly unmatched by any other product on the market. Our engineers worked long and hard to create a superior product. Long range means less installation cost in wiring and access points. One base station can support 1-64 RF Terminals and with the exceptional RF range can cover almost all locations, eliminating the need for additional wiring and access points.

There are multiple models available with your choice of 1D or 2D high bar code scanning engines built right into the units. Models with a gun style handle (LT7103H & LT7203H) makes for even easier one-handed scanning and since there is a second Li-ion battery in the handle, the battery life is doubled when compared to the standard model.

There is no program on the Terminal to write, and since a host program in any language can totally control the Terminal, programming time and costs are significantly less than with competitive terminals.

As enterprise mobility becomes increasingly important, Worth Data is committed to providing solutions for the small business owner as well as corporate entities. Our solutions are easy to implement getting you connected faster, all at a lower cost!

Improved Ergonomics
The 7103 RF Terminals have been designed with the ergonomics of the user in mind, starting with a high visibility 15 Line TFT Color LCD Display, plus a keypad layout designed to make scanning and keying easier. The small size and weight of the unit, along with the curved shape, make it very easy to hold and scan for long periods of time.

For even better ergonomics the H7000 handle makes scanning much easier for long term use and was one of our most requested features. The handle is sold on the unit when you purchase a LT7103H or LT7203H models. You can add it to your terminals at a later date if you want to by ordering the H7000 unit.

Integrated High Speed 1D Laser Bar Code Scanner
The 7103 Terminals come with a high speed 1D laser bar code scanner built in to the top of the unit. When you press the scan button, or the trigger on the handle, a laser beam scans at 100 times per second to pick up even poorly printed or damaged bar codes easily. The unit can scan very high density codes that have narrow bars as small as an incredible 2.5mil - .0025" (0.064mm) equivalent to 23cpi Code 39!

Bar code types supported include UPC/EAN, UCC-EAN 128, Code 39, Full ASCII Code 39, Code 128, GTIN-14, ITF-14, GS1-128, Codabar, MSI Plessey, GS1 DataBar (RSS-14), GS1 Omnidirectional & Stacked variants, Interleaved 2 of 5, Standard 2 of 5, Bookland EAN, Code 11, LabelCode4, LabelCode5, Storage Tek, and Code 93. The reader auto discriminates automatically.

Below is the chart of the typical range of reading. A 6 mil barcode is high density, the 10mil and 14mil are general purpose medium density, and the 40 mil and 100 mil are large low density codes.

2D Bar Code Scanning
The LT7203H comes with an updated omni-directional 2D barcode scanner built right into the top of the unit. When you press the scan button, or the trigger on the handle, a high speed imaging engine scans 2D matrix barcodes and standard 1D bar codes easily. The scan engine is also omni-directional, so you don't have to have the bar code lined up to scan it. 

It reads all popular 2D matrix type bar codes such as PDF417, MicroPDF417, MaxiCode, DataMatrix (ECC 2000, 1400), Composite Codes, Aztec, QR Code, MicroQR Code, as well as USPS Intelligent Mail Bar Codes, US Postnet, US Planet, UK Postal, Japan Postal, Australian Postal, and Dutch Postal, along with many others. The 2D bar code can have up to 1024 characters encoded in the code.

In addition, it still reads the standard 1D barcodes including; UPC/EAN, UCC-EAN 128, Code 39, Full ASCII Code 39, TriOptic Code 39, Code 32, Code 128, Codabar, MSI, Code 11, GS1 DataBar, Composite, ITF Interleaved 2 of 5, DTF Discrete 2 of 5, Bookland EAN, Code 93 and also scans very high density codes with narrow bars as small as 2.5mil .0025" (0.064mm) - equivalent to 23cpi Code 39!

Internal Li-ion Rechargeable Battery(s)
We use an industry standard NP-120 Li-ion battery in the unit which has a capacity of 1950mAh. In the event of failure this battery is field replaceable - via 2 screws on the door or handle. With our advanced battery charging you can have a full charge in 2-3 hours or less! Intelligent charging replenishes only the power used - no need to fully discharge batteries or wait through a full charging cycle for partially used batteries! With the LT7x03H Handle unit you will get a second battery included in the handle which will effectively double the battery life of the unit.

Lowest Cost Available
A starter system of one LT7103 terminal and one B557U base station with a USB cable and power supplies is just €2190/£1899. Additional terminals are inexpensive. Up to 64 Terminals can talk to one Base Station and are easily supported with little or no contention.

You can start small, develop your applications, and then expand at a low incremental cost. Unsurpassed performance at the lowest price - unbeatable value!

Serial Compatibility
For users who have software written for the older 70 series or 700 Series RF Terminals, the Base Station maintains the same serial interface. Extensive tools and demonstrations are available including demos in VisualBasic, Access, and Delphi - plus complete ActiveX components. We even supply demo programs written in GW BASIC; it's that simple.

If you need additional coverage, Relay Stations can be added.

Easiest to Implement
There is no programming on the terminal. All programming is on the host computer in the language of your choice. Your only requirement is to send commands out the serial port . Any platform and any language can literally make the terminal sing. Whether you write simple serial port command strings or you use our supplied Active X components with Windows®, we make it easy for you. There's only one program to write and maintain. No development package is necessary to buy. All you need is supplied with the purchase of a Base Station. It's the perfect product for developers who wish to distribute systems to remote locations. Since the new B557U Base Station uses the same serial interface as before, all programming done for the previous generation RF Terminal system will work with the new system. In addition the B55U also supports USB serial attachment for computers without a USB port.

Controlling the RF Terminal
A user program does not run on the RF Terminal. There are three levels of host computer programming support provided for the RF Terminal:

Low Level Programming strings sent to the serial port is the most basic method of programming which applies to any language and any platform which can read and write to a serial port. (For Windows® users there is a free DLL provided to simplify the serial commands). Click here for details on Low Level Programming.

.NET support is provided which provides the overall structure and all routines which when completed, result in a running application. It is a .NET assembly that is compatible with Visual Studio and any .NET language including Visual Basic, Visual C++®, C#, etc... Click here to download the .NET installation package.

ActiveX support is also provided which provides the overall structure and all routines which when completed, result in a running application. It is compatible with Visual Basic, Visual C++®, Delphi, and most other Windows 32 bit development platforms. Click here to download the PromptCOM ActiveX PDF programming guide . You can also download the latest ActiveX for the 7000 here.

TCP/IP support allows the operation of terminals across a TCP/IP network connection. This configuration requires a "client" computer and a "server" computer. It is compatible with Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, and most other 32-bit development platforms. Click here to download the "PrompNET TCP/IP Active X PDF programming guide.

Again, there is no programming necessary on the RF Terminal itself. All programming is on the host computer and can be in Visual Basic, Access, C, Basic, etc. Any platform and any language that can read/write to a serial port can be used.

KwikCount/RF for Excel
The 7000 RF Terminal includes our KwikCount/RF add-in for Excel! This add-in gives you a simple, interactive program development tool using Excel; right out of the box - no programming knowledge needed! If you can use Excel, then you can use KwikCount/RF to develop interactive real-time applications which use an Excel data base - including inventory, shipping, and receiving applications! Many applications include an import/export feature for Excel - allowing you to export your application's data, use KwikCount/RF to update the data base on-line, and then import the updated data back into your application - all with NO programming knowledge required! This is perfect for inventory, shipping, receiving and even shelf price verification! Not only can you collect data, but you can display data from the Excel data base to help the user make decisions based on the data in the computer files.

Optional & Upgradable Handle
The 7103 RF Terminal system offers an interchangeable battery door and handle system. You can either use the standard battery door, standard on the LT7103, or you can order the LT7103H or LT7202H with the handle installed. The handle is also available separately as an optional, field upgradable handle to use in place of the battery door, so you can upgrade a LT7103 to use the H7000 handle at any time in the future. The H7000 handle is easy to install and includes a second battery in the handle to double the battery life.

Voice Messages
In addition to the display prompts and error messages, the RF Terminal has the ability to audibly prompt and advise the operator with pre-recorded prompts and error advisories triggered by the host program. The voice messages can be recorded in any language as needed. Voice messages are particularly helpful in poorly lit areas, cold environments, and keyless applications (faster scanning without having to refer to the display).

Extending Range with Relay Station
Relay Stations give even greater coverage and overcome steel structured wall limitations of separate rooms. Relays are connected by RS-422 cable to the Base Station. The Base station B557U can be converted to operate as a relay with a simple jumper change.
