Savi ST-675 Container Security
Tag Description
The 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.

Features
• 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) 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 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).

Whenever 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.

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 ).
Initializing the Tag
Once 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.

3. 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
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.
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 Performance
11
• 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 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
• at 20 feet (6m) or higher
Follow the instructions in the Savi Fixed Reader documentation to locate
and position the Savi Fixed Reader for best performance.

Mounting the Tag
1. 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.

3. 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 Battery
13
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 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.
