5Savi ST-675 Container Security Tag DescriptionThe Savi ST-675 tag is an active RFID container security tag with intrusion and environmental sensors. The ST-675’s sensor arm detects the open/closed state of the shipping container door, and the intrusion light sensor monitors the amount of light entering the container. These intrusion sensors detect potential theft or tampering. The temperature, humidity, and shock sensors monitor environmental conditions to prevent spoilage or damage to goods. In congested RF environments where tags are polled repetitively, the ST-675’s over-polling detection and protection algorithm preserves battery life.Figure 1: Savi ST-675 Container Security Tag (front view) Antenna

Features7Features• ISO 18000-7 compliant active RFID tag with environmental sensor capability• Sensors monitor security status and environmental conditions inside shipping container• Unique C-clamp, door-mounted design• Supports low frequency technology for more precise locating capabilities• FCC, HERO, ETSI, RoHS (Directive 2002/95/EC) certifiedActivating the TagThe tag is shipped in sleep mode. You must remove and re-insert the battery to wake up the tag. After you re-insert the battery, you can initialize the tag.1. Remove the battery cap.Turn to openRemove battery as shipped2. Remove the battery. Wait a few seconds and then reinsert the battery, matching the negative (–) and positive (+) terminals to the symbols shown on the tag housing. The tag will not work if you install the battery in the wrong direction (reversed).
Correct battery orientationTurn to openCorrect battery orientationSavi ST-675 Container Security Tag Installation Guide 8Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag will emit 5 beeps.Then, if the tag emits a long (1/2 second beep), that means it has an internal sensor failure.Then, the tag will emit 2 short beeps to indicate adequate battery voltage or 3 short beeps if a fresh battery is required.Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag assumes that it is a fresh battery. Inserting a used battery into a tag may result in what appears to be a premature battery failure.3. Replace the battery cap on the tag. Continue tightening the cap until it is secure.

Store the battery at room temperature (50-80 °F or 10-27 °C ).Initializing the TagOnce you activate the tag, you can initialize it for immediate use.1. Unplug the USB port cover.2. Insert the USB cable into the USB port on the tag and connect the other end to the USB port on the computer.

Refer to the Savi SmartChain Mobile User Guide or the Savi Smart-Chain WorkStation User Guide for instructions on the initialization process. Placing the Tag for Best PerformanceSavi Technology recommends that you mount the tag on a flat surface, with the tag aligned vertically. For best performance, place the tag as high as possible, safe from impact (for example, between the ribs of an ISO-type shipping container), and away from obstructions on the asset. For best performance, make sure the tag is:• Mounted on a metal surface.• Mounted at no less than a 6 foot (1.8m) elevation.• Mounted vertically.• Not mounted behind or between metal objects
Placing the Tag for Best Performance11• Mounted on the container door higher than the closing and locking mechanism.The next figure shows an example of a security tag mounted on an ISO container door.Figure 4: Security tag mounted on an ISO container doorNote: Make sure you clean the surface of the container or other asset before attaching the tag.The tag will have 400-foot (122m) read/write range to Savi SR-650 Fixed Readers. For the most consistent communications with the tag, the Fixed Readers must be mounted:• to have an unobstructed line-of-sight to the tag• at 20 feet (6m) or higherFollow the instructions in the Savi Fixed Reader documentation to locate and position the Savi Fixed Reader for best performance.
Savi ST-675 Container Security Tag Installation Guide 12Mounting the Tag1. Open the right door of the container.2. Using both hands, push the C-clamp on the tag onto the edge of the left door until it is on as far as it can go.Left door outside view Left door inside view3. Flip the door sensor arm to the right position so it can contact the inside of the right door when it closes.4. Close the right door. The door sensor arm is now armed and in position to trigger if the container is opened.
Replacing the Battery13Replacing the BatteryThe tag is equipped with non-volatile memory, which means stored data is not lost when you replace the battery.1. Remove the battery cap.2. Remove the discharged battery from its compartment.For more information, see “Activating the Tag” on page 7. The lithium battery can be harmful to the environment. Follow current procedures for safely disposing of lithium batteries. The battery cannot be reused or recharged.3. Install a 3.6V lithium "A" battery, matching the negative (–) and posi-tive (+) terminals to the symbols shown on the tag housing. The tag will not work if you install the battery in the wrong direction (reversed).4. Replace the battery cap on the tag.Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag will emit 5 short beeps, one second apart.Then, if the tag emits a long (1/2 second beep), that means it has an internal sensor failure. Remove the battery and insert it again. If the tag emits the same long (1/2 second) beep, do not use the tag.Then, the tag will emit 2 short beeps to indicate adequate battery voltage or 3 beeps to indicate inadequate battery voltage. 3 short beeps means the tag needs a fresh battery. Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag assumes that it is a fresh battery. Inserting a used battery into a tag may result in what appears to be a premature battery failure.After the beep, continue tightening the cap until it is secure.
