Introduction 1
You can use the Savi® Fixed Reader SR-650-101 to scan, detect, and
collect tag information. The SR-650-101 Reader is designed to
communicate with all models of SaviTags, and forward the collected data to
the SmartChain™ Site Manager or Client Tools host platforms. You can
network multiple readers to cover large facilities.
Working with Savi Signposts, SR-650-101 Readers provide a complete
RFID solution for real-time, end-to-end visibility of goods and critical
assets moving through the supply chain.

Features
◆Long-range, omnidirectional communication enables effective
monitoring of thousands of tagged items over a 100-meter radius—ideal
for yards, terminals, and warehouses.
◆Ethernet network connectivity supports wired and wireless installations,
allowing multiple readers to be easily networked together.
◆Universal Data Appliance Protocol (UDAP™) network protocol
provides interoperability with other data collection devices, including
bar code scanners and other RFID readers.
◆Seamless interface to Savi SmartChain® platform and applications
through the SmartChain Site Manager.
◆Rugged, weatherproof packaging for indoor and outdoor use.
Reader Description
The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 has an omnidirectional read pattern
with an adjustable range of up to 300 feet (91.44 meters), and can be
networked to provide cellular coverage of a nearly unlimited area. Its power
source can be 92 to 250 VAC or 12 to 24 VDC. A portable tripod mount,
asolar power unit, or a cable for powering the reader from a vehicle are all
available for use with the SR-650-101 Reader.
The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 operates at 433.92 MHz.
Tag Communication
The Savi Fixed Reader SR-650-101 can transmit control commands and
data over a UHF link to SaviTags. In return, the SaviTags transmit status
information, recognition codes, and data over the UHF link to the reader,
depending on the commands the tag received.
