This connection allows one host computer to control readers that monitor a much larger physical area than is possible using only wired connections. The Savi RF Relay is available in two models, both of which are described in this manual: •The RFR-100 model provides a long-distance wireless link in an RS-485 network, using an RF modem.•The RFR-200 model provides a long-distance wireless link in a LonWorks network, using an RF modem.Both models of the Savi RF Relay have four basic components:•The RF Relay itself, which includes a wireless transceiver and network interface in a weatherproof NEMA enclosure•An up/down converter (two models), which provides necessary frequency conversion between the RF Relay and the antenna•A bandpass filter that attaches to the end of the antenna (up/down converter model UDC2.4B-0C only)•An omnidirectional 2.4 GHz antennaFigure 1-1 shows a Savi RF Relay with its antenna and up/down converter mounted on the same mast.

Discuss site-specific issues with your Savi customer service representative. The Savi System Installation Guide (Savi part number 805-00968-010/ order number JDM-1004) describes the overall process of planning an RFID network.This chapter describes the RF Relay installation process.To comply with FCC Section 1.1307 for RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 2m (79 inches) is required between the antenna and all persons.Note: The Savi RF Relay is used in sophisticated wireless data networks. The RF Relay is not sold to the general public. Unless installation is performed by knowledgeable personnel with both software and RF experience, nodes in the WLAN are likely to be incorrectly configured, with the result that the entire network is compromised or rendered inoperable.

Check the AC fuse. (See “Replacing the Fuse” on page 3-2.)–If solar-powered, verify the output voltage of the module to be 12 VDC.–Verify that the power cable is securely plugged into the power source and the RF Relay input.–Try a different power source.–Replace the power cable.No data communication –Verify that the network cable is securely plugged into the RF Relay.–Verify that the network cable is securely plugged into the correct COM port on the computer. COM1 is usually a DB9 connector. COM2 may be a DB9 or DB25 connector.–Verify that the cable itself is not damaged.COM port unavailable (possibly used for another device such as a mouse)–Connect the RF Relay cable to another COM port.–Verify that the software setting matches the COM port where the RF Relay is connected.Unknown –Turn the RF Relay power off and then back on.–Call Savi Technical Support.
