5-Inch Signature Capture Pads for Mobile and Compact Counters
Four 5-inch signature capture pads for front desks, delivery routes and door-to-door business. Each model pairs an 800 x 480 panel with 2048 pressure levels, a 233PPS report rate and a battery-free EMR pen on a single USB-C cable. Fingerprint options on the DS510S and DS530S add identity capture where the counter requires it.

Specifications
Official product data, model by model.
| Model | Panel | Resolution | LCD type | Pressure levels | Report rate | Pen resolution | Pen | Fingerprint | Interface | Net weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DS510 | 5 inch | 800 x 480 (16:9) | IPS | 2048 | 233PPS | 5080LPI | PEN57S, battery-free EMR | No | USB-C | 600 g |
| DS510S | 5 inch | 800 x 480 (16:9) | IPS | 2048 | 233PPS | 5080LPI | P13, battery-free EMR | 192 x 192 | USB-C | 600 g |
| DS530 | 5 inch | 800 x 480 (16:9) | TFT | 2048 | 233PPS | 5080LPI | Battery-free EMR pen | No | USB-C | 270 g |
| DS530S | 5 inch | 800 x 480 (16:9) | TFT | 2048 | 233PPS | 5080LPI | Battery-free EMR pen | 192 x 192 | USB-C | 285 g |
Display detail from the official data: the DS510 and DS510S run 500 cd/m2 brightness with a 70°/70°(H)/50°/70°(V) viewing angle and 10 ms response time; the DS530 and DS530S run 400 cd/m2 with the same viewing angle and response time. All four hold an 800:1 contrast ratio, a 108 x 64.8 mm active area, 10 mm sensing height and center accuracy of plus or minus 0.5 mm. OS support is Windows 7 or later on all four models.
Built for Door-to-Door Business
Light pads, one cable, no pen charging.
The official product data describes the 5-inch panel as bringing convenience and flexibility for door-to-door business, and the numbers back it: 270 g on the DS530, 285 g on the DS530S and 600 g on the DS510 and DS510S, with a single USB-C cable carrying both power and data on all four models. Field staff carry the pad in a bag, connect one cable to a laptop or tablet, and sign without hunting for a power outlet or a charged pen.
The battery-free EMR pen is the detail that keeps field deployments cheap to run. There are no charging cradles to buy, no batteries to replace, and no dead pens at the moment a customer is ready to sign. The DS510 ships the pen as PEN57S and the DS510S as P13; the DS530 and DS530S ship a battery-free EMR pen that requires neither charging nor ink. At 2048 pressure levels the pad records line variation with pressure, which the official data describes as capturing more biometric information during the signing process: the signature carries pressure evidence, not just an image.
The DS530 and DS530S add a software compatibility statement from the official data: owning strong compatibility, they help users sign files in Word, Excel, PDF and other formats and on the web pages of major browsers. For organizations that sign office documents and browser-based workflows rather than a dedicated signing application, that compatibility removes an integration step. The full hardware comparison is in the model index, and connector planning in the USB interface guide.
Fingerprint Options on the 5-inch Band
Identity capture where the counter requires it.
The DS510S lists an optional fingerprint sensor to capture fingerprints in high resolutions, with the module specified at 192 x 192. The DS530S goes further in the official wording: its high-precision fingerprint recognition module allows for quick and accurate fingerprint collection while also protecting the privacy of the customer. Both models keep the full signing specification alongside the fingerprint module, so one device handles both signature and fingerprint at a compact counter.
Choose the DS510S when the deployment standardizes on the IPS panel and 500 cd/m2 brightness; choose the DS530S when the priority is the lightest fingerprint-capable pad at 285 g with the 400 cd/m2 TFT panel. The fingerprint guide compares all fingerprint-capable DS models across bands.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the DS510 and DS510S?
The DS510S adds an optional 192 x 192 fingerprint sensor and ships the battery-free EMR pen P13 instead of PEN57S. Panel, resolution, pressure levels, report rate, interface and weight are identical.
What is the difference between the DS530 and DS530S?
The DS530S adds a 192 x 192 high-precision fingerprint recognition module and weighs 285 g versus 270 g on the DS530. Both sign Word, Excel, PDF files and major browser web pages.
Do the 5-inch pads need external power?
No. All four models connect over a single USB-C cable, and the DS1020-class note that only one USB cable is needed to power the device reflects the same single-cable design used across the 5-inch band.
Can the 5-inch pads capture biometric signature data?
Yes. The official data states that 2048 pressure levels enable different lines as pressure varies, therefore capturing more biometric information during the signing process.
Which 5-inch model is best for delivery and field teams?
The DS530 at 270 g is the lightest; the DS510 at 600 g pairs the IPS panel with 500 cd/m2 brightness for outdoor readability. Fingerprint needs point to the DS510S or DS530S.
Are these models available for OEM programs?
Yes. Volume pricing, private-label branding and customization are handled through the OEM channel at [email protected].
