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.
