CHAPTER 14 1 Introduction Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 Installation Guide
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables 2 Before physically installing the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101, you must: 1. Consult a site plan to determine the reader’s installation location. 2. Connect power cables and network cables. 3. Supply power. 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.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables You can also power the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 from a Savi Solar Power Module or by vehicle power. A fixed-length, molded cable is supplied with the Solar Power Module. You can purchase the Vehicle Power Cable as an accessory. To connect the power cable to the reader: 1. If you are installing the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 in an outdoor location, slide heat shrink tubing onto the power cable before connecting the cable to the reader. 2.
Connecting Power Cables to the Savi Fixed Reader Figure 2-2 Power cable Connector shell Plug to AC outlet 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.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables Connecting the Network Cables Before you connect the Savi fixed reader’s network cables, check relevant configuration or wiring diagrams. 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.
Connecting the Network Cables Note: The SaviNet cable with converter is provided with Savi software (such as Savi Retriever) since only one computerconnector cable is required per network. The SaviNet cable is also available separately (Savi part number 830-00911-001). Figure 2-3 RS-485 ports Network In (RS-485 port) Network Out (RS-485 port) 3. Push the locking ring forward firmly and rotate clockwise to lock the connector. 4.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables Connecting Two or More Savi Fixed Readers If you are connecting several Savi fixed readers in a daisy chain configuration, use a standard Savi-provided network cable to connect each reader, as shown in Figure 2-4. Figure 2-4 Savi fixed readers in daisy chain configuration Network Out Network In Network Out Network In Network Out Network In 4 2 1 To Host Computer 3 Network In Network Out To connect the multiple Savi fixed readers: 1.
Connecting the Network Cables 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.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables To connect the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 to an Ethernet hub: 1. Connect an RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet cable. The other end of the Ethernet cable includes an RJ-45 connector with a protective connector shell.
Connecting the Network Cables 2. Cover the RJ-45 connector with an RJ-45 sleeve. Connect this end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet hub. Figure 2-6 RJ-45 connector and sleeve 3. Remove the protective cap from the Ethernet port on the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables 4. Connect the RJ-45 connector with the connector shell into the Ethernet port. Figure 2-8 Connected Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 Note: Replace and tighten the protective cap when the Ethernet port is not used.
Applying Power to the Savi Fixed Reader Applying Power to the Savi Fixed Reader After connecting power and network cables, apply power to the reader by connecting the male connector end of the power cable to the appropriate power source, such as the Savi Solar Power Module or an AC outlet. Figure 2-9 Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 LED display panel LED display panel To confirm that power is present in the reader: 1. Observe the indicators on the LED display panel.
CHAPTER 2 Designating Locations and Connecting Cables c. After the ID display, the reader’s default IP address appears in the LED display. Savi fixed reader IP address 10.7.19.11 displays: IP, then =, then 10, then 7, then 19, and then 11 in sequence. Note: Upon changing the reader’s default IP address, the reader’s new IP address appears in the LED display. To change the reader’s IP address, see “Adding and Configuring the Reader in SmartChain Site Manager” on page 29. d.
CHAPTER Managing the Reader Network 3 3 The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 communicates with the SmartChain Site Manager host computer, using the SaviNet (RS-485) or Ethernet protocols. When the reader communicates with the Savi Retriever host computer, only the SaviNet (RS-485) protocol is required. This chapter provides the information you need to manage and configure your Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 with the appropriate host computer.
