The ST-621 features a rugged form factor design, and has a replaceable battery with a typical life of five years. Figure 1: Front view Tag ID number Battery compartment Figure 2: Rear view Battery compartment Tag model number Savi ST-621 License Plate Tag Installation Guide Features • ISO 18000-7 compliant active RFID data-rich tag • 400-foot (122 meters) omnidirectional line-of-sight range for monitoring, waking-up, and RF write/read operations • Replaceable battery with a typical life of five years • FCC, HERO, ETSI, RoHS (Directive 2002/95/EC) certified Activating the Tag The 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 cap to open Remove battery as shipped 2. 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). Activating the Tag Turn cap to close Correct battery orientation Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag will emit 5 beeps. 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. Savi ST-621 License Plate Tag Installation Guide Improper Proper O-ring exposed O-ring hidden Turn cap until tight If the O-ring is not properly compressed by the cap, water leakage and damage may occur. Note: When the tag is not in use, disable the tag by removing, reversing, and re-inserting the battery. Store the battery at room temperature (50-80 °F or 10-27 °C ). Placing the Tag for Best Performance Savi 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. Mount the tag by adhering the tag and supplied plastic mounting sleeve with pressure sensitive tape (PST) to the inside or outside of a Class VIII container or plastic, cardboard, or wood container or box. Placing the Tag for Best Performance Typical locations include mounting the tag inside the middle of the container or on the outside of the container on a flat surface. 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 The next figure shows an example of a tag mounted on an ISO container according to the performance guidelines. Figure 3: Asset tag mounted on an ISO container door Note: 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 Savi ST-621 License Plate Tag Installation Guide • at 20 feet (6m) or higher caution: Tags mounted close to the ground may have less range. Follow the instructions in the Savi Fixed Reader documentation to locate and position the Savi Fixed Reader for best performance. Mounting the Tag You can choose among several mounting methods for the tag, including using pressure sensitive tape (PST) or a plastic mounting sleeve. Whichever mounting method you select, the goal is to prevent accidental loss of the tag by sudden impact, vibration, or shock during transport. The fastener you choose often depends on the material from which the asset or container is constructed and your personal preference. There are two accessory mounting packages, which are sold separately: • Savi Mounting Kit STA-1260-Black, which includes PST • Savi Magnetic Mounting Kit STA-1261-Black You can also use the following alternative fastening methods: • Tie-wraps • Twine • Screws caution: Use these and other alternative methods at your own risk. If it is not possible or practical to use screws, use PST to attach the tag. Use only 3M Corporation’s Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape®. For ease of installation, the tag comes with this PST on the back of the plastic mounting sleeve. PST mounting kits are also available for separate purchase. 10 Mounting the Tag Pressure sensitive tape The magnetic mount clamps directly onto the metal surface. The magnets hold the tag securely, but allow the tag and the magnetic bracket to be removed quickly. Once a mounting sleeve is fastened to an asset, you can leave it on the asset even after the tag is removed so it is available for future use with other compatible tags. Prior to re-use, visually inspect the PST-mounted sleeve to make sure it is attached securely. If necessary, reinstall the sleeve using new PST. Asset tags and mounting sleeves have a security hole through which a nylon keeper band may be passed and tightened to secure the tag in place. 11 Savi ST-621 License Plate Tag Installation Guide Security hole Replacing the Battery The 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 6. Note: 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. 12 Contacting Savi Support Whenever a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag will emit 5 short beeps, one second apart. 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.
