Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 Installation

Connecting Power Cables to the

Savi Fixed Reader

Note:

While the Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 is rated for use in severe

environments, the power and network connector seals may deteriorate

with repeated installation and removal. Therefore, Savi recommends the

use of heat shrink tubing (Savi part number 680-02423-001) for units

subject to outdoor use.

When connecting the Savi Fixed Reader’s power cable, be sure to check

any relevant configuration or wiring diagrams beforehand.

The power source can be 12 to 24 VDC or 92 to 250 VAC. The socket-

outlet 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. An appropriate power cable is

supplied, based on the requirements specified when the order was placed.

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 item.

The appropriate power cable for the AC power source should be included

with the reader.

To connect the power cable to the reader:

1. If 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. Follow the instructions included with the heat shrink

kit to apply the tubing to the cable.

2. On the Savi Fixed Reader, plug the cable’s female connector into the

power input socket. See

Figure 2-2.

a. Turn the connector to align its notch on the side nearest the Savi

Fixed Reader’s dome.

b. Firmly push the locking ring forward and rotate it clockwise to lock

the connector.
