1.4 Prerequisites
1.4.1Before you Begin
Before installing the Savari StreetWAVE™ Roadside Unit, please ensure that the shipped kit
1
contains the contents as described in the section “Various Parts and Functions”in this guide.
Then, ensure the following:
•The components provided with the RSU are not damaged. The components supplied
are based on the contents of the order but will at a minimum include the mounting
hardware.
•Pull the Ethernet cable up from the cabinet through the conduit to the mounting location.
•All antennas and Ethernet connectors are disconnected from the enclosure.
The Savari SW-1000 RSU is compliant with the v4.1 US-DOT RSU Specification. It can be
powered by using any 802.3at compliant PoE device. For any setup efforts related to PoE, refer
to the setup guides for those specific models (PoE switch and/or injector).
1.4.2Identify the Mounting Location(s)
To ensure optimal communication and reach, the RSU requires 'Line-of-Sight' to every
approach when used at an intersection. If this is not possible with a single unit, multiple units
may be used (deployed in a hub-spoke topology). For example, one unit can provide north-
south coverage and another unit can provide east-west coverage. Refer to the user guide for
configuration of RSUs in a hub-spoke topology.
When procured, by default, Savari supplied antennas are omnidirectional. From time to time,
Savari may on request supply directional antennas. Before installation, please check the
antenna specification for optimal installation if a directional antenna is to be used. The
recommended orientation of the antennas is vertical, pointing to the sky. Site surveys and
designs are not part of the installation document.

The recommended mounting location is a traffic light or street light horizontal mast arm as close
to the center of the road or intersection as possible. In addition, the mast arm that is closest to
the traffic signal controller cabinet is used for installation.
Ethernet connectivity between each mounting location and the cabinet is required. Please
make sure that an Ethernet cable is routed accordingly. If Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is used to
power the device, Ethernet cable is the only cable required to be connected to StreetWAVE™
unit. This is the recommended method to power the RSU.
1.4.3 Optional Components
You may need to procure the following optional components if not already available at the
installation site:
1. Ethernet cable long enough to reach the RSU mounting location from the cabinet.
2. A CAT 6 weatherproof cable is required to connect the RSU to the traffic signal
controller cabinet.
3. An 802.3at compliant PoE injector is required inside the traffic signal controller to
interface between the traffic signal controller and the StreetWAVE™ RSU.
1.5 Various Parts and Functions

bottom of the bracket as shown in Figure 7. Note: This example depicts installation of
the bracket to a vertical pole [Figure 7].
2. Wrap the metal straps around the pole and lock them and lightly tighten the straps
screws using a wrench. The screws should be lightly tightened to prevent the bracket
from sliding down the pole.
2.1.2Installing the Mounting Bracket to the RSU
1. Align the mounting bracket to the rear of the RSU such that the holes of the mounting
bracket align with the holes in the ears of the RSU.
2. Align the M8 mounting bolt along with the lock washer and insert into the threaded hole
of the RSU [Figure 7].
3. Using a wrench, tighten the bolt to the RSU securely. Tension?
4. At this point, the RSU should be securely coupled to the mounting bracket but may be a
bit loosely coupled to the pole.
5. Place the RSU to its final desired position and further tighten the metal straps so that
the RSU does not slide on the pole. Ensure that the strap screws are tight enough to
prevent the RSU from moving or sliding. Tension ?
6. At the end of this step, the RSU, bracket and strap should resemble the illustration in
Figure 8. Note that a vertical pole hasn’t been depicted here.

2.1.3Installing the PoE Cable to the RSU
An exploded view is shown in [Figure 9]. To install the sealing gland to the Ethernet port
of the RSU, follow the steps:
1. Ensure that you have an unterminated Ethernet cable from the PoE/cabinet to the
RSU. For optimal function, the diameter of the Ethernet cable must be between
<limits?>
Loosen the round end of the sealing gland kit by turning counter clockwise (but do
not remove the round end). The thread end is towards the right and the round end
towards the left in
2. Figure 6.
3. Insert the unterminated end of the Ethernet cable into the round end of the sealing
gland and pull several inches of cable through the adaptor. The cable should have
passed through the seal and the body housing.
4. Install an RJ-45 connector to the unterminated end of the Ethernet cable using an
appropriate installation RJ-45 crimping tool.
5. Insert the RJ-45 cable connector into the Ethernet port receptacle of the RSU and
ensure that the RJ-45 is locked into the internal RJ45 jack.
6. Slide the sealing gland kit towards the RSU and screw the threaded end into the
RSU and hand-tighten.

2.1.4 Installing the Ground Cable
Savari recommends proper grounding to prevent damage to the RSU. The grounding point for
the RSU is located on the side. The RSU consists of a ground screw that can be loosened to
attach a ground wire. Damage from static buildup can be prevented with proper grounding.
Savari suggests installing a grounding strap from the antenna ground to a well-designed local
earth ground. It is recommended to use a ground wire that is no more than a few meters and of
suggested AWG 14 or better.

2.1.5 Installing the Lightning Surge Arrestors
In the event of a lightning strike, the RSU can be protected through the use of a surge arrestor.
A lightning surge arrestor can be installed on the base of the antenna between the antenna and
the RF N-type connector of the RSU enclosure. The arrestor typically contains a fuse device
that triggers during a strike. It should be noted that the surge arrestors have a small amount of
signal loss but may be useful to have especially in areas prone to strikes. If an arrestor is used,
the arrestor must be suitably grounded. Savari defers to the experience and accepted practice
of the Operator with regards to the use of a lightning arrestor.
2.1.6 Installing the Antennas
The StreetWAVE™ accepts two (2) 5.9 GHz N-type DSRC antennas. These can be screwed in
(clockwise) into the antenna connector on the top of the RSU enclosure. If the antennas need
to be located at a height or an area that is different from the RSU, the antennas can be
separately mounted (left to the operator) and a suitable low loss cable can be used to connect
the antennas to the RSU. The antennas can be tightened by hand, a special wrench or tool is
not required, however, please use caution to ensure that the torque is not more than 5 lbs
pound when using the stock antennas.

Figure 11 Top View Showing DSRC Antenna Connectors
A suitable GNSS antenna with an SMA connector can be used to connect to the RSU. The
SMA connector is found at the bottom of the enclosure. The operator may choose a magnetic
mount antenna or an antenna with a separate mounting capability. When ordered, Savari
typically supplies a magnetic mount GPS antenna with at least 1 meter RG-174 or equivalent
cable. Ensure that the GNSS antenna is placed such that it has a clear view of the sky. It has
been found that a GPS or a GPS + GLONAS antenna can be used.
Figure 12 Bottom View Showing the GPS and Ethernet Connector
For extra protection, wrap self-sealing electrical tape around the antenna connectors and the
GPS connector to prevent water from entering. The tape should cover the entire RSU
connector, the antenna connector and at least an inch of the antenna cable or the antenna
itself.
