Planning a Site
To plan a site you must conduct a site survey and plan the RFID network
configuration. Once the site plan is in place, refer to it to determine where
to install Savi fixed readers. Follow the directions in this manual to ensure
proper installation of each Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101.
Connecting Power Cables to the
Savi Fixed Reader
Note: The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 is rated for use in severe
environments. For additional precautions, Savi recommends the use
of heat shrink tubing (Savi part number 680-02423-001) for units subject
to outdoor use.
Before you connect the Savi fixed reader’s power cable, be sure to check
relevant configuration or wiring diagrams.
The power source can be 12 to 24 VDC or 92 to 250 VAC. The socketoutlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily
accessible. The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 does not require adjustment
or modification for different power sources. The appropriate power cable is
supplied based on the requirements specified when the order was placed.

3. Ensure that the heat shrink tubing is protecting the power cable’s
connector shell.
Position the heat shrink tubing so it is not completely against the
reader’s connector panel and covering the entire connector shell but
is .25 of an inch (6.35 mm) from the connector panel.
4. Apply heat to the heat shrink tubing to contract and bind the protective
covering to the power cable and its connector shell.
For detailed instructions regarding application of the heat shrink tubing,
follow the procedures in Appendix B.

5. Continue to link new readers as necessary (cables 3 and 4 in Figure 2-4).
The final reader in the chain must be terminated with a matched resistive
load (termination cable assembly) to prevent signal reflections in long
cable runs.
Note: The termination cable assembly (Savi part number
830-04598-001) is included with the reader. If the distance
between readers is greater than 100 feet (30.48 meters),
additional network cables are available (Savi part number
830-00169-100). A cable adapter (Savi part number
625-00921-001) is included to connect two cables.
Ethernet Connection
You can connect the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 directly to a network
hub via the built-in Ethernet connection. The readers are the source of RFID
tag read and service events. SmartChain Site Manager records, stores, and
forwards these events to Savi SmartChain. SmartChain Site Manager also
sends commands for reader management or control logic. The readers
communicate with SmartChain Site Manager using UDAP.
SmartChain Site Manager and SmartChain are available separately from
Savi Technology.
