Savi GlobalTag ST-694
Description
The Savi GlobalTag ST-694 is a data-rich active RFID tag equipped with
a satellite modem and a GPS receiver. This tag is suited for various
applications including tracking shipping containers, vehicles, and other
high-value assets throughout a supply chain. The GlobalTag can track
assets with or without active RFID infrastructure.

Features
• Extends active RFID networks with GPS and satellite to enable true
global tracking solutions
• 128 Kbytes of programmable database memory enables tag to support
multiple applications
• RFID 433 MHz communications with 400-foot (122m)
omnidirectional line-of-sight range
• Replaceable battery with a typical life of three years, assuming one
satellite reporting per day
• Supports innovative low-frequency technology for more precise
locating capabilities
• FCC, HERO, RoHS (Directive 2002/95/EC) certified
Activating and Initializing the Tag
Before you can initialize the tag, you must wake it up by inserting the
battery.
1. Remove the battery from its wrapping.
2. Insert the battery by lowering the tab end into the tag battery
compartment and then lowering the connector end. The battery should
fit snugly in position.
When a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag emits 2 short beeps one
second apart to indicate adequate battery voltage or 3 short beeps if a
fresh battery is required.
3. Secure the battery with the two provided 6-32 screws.
Note: When the tag is not in use, removing the battery and store it at
room temperature (50-80 °F or 10-27 °C).
After you activate the tag, you can initialize it for immediate use. Refer to
the Savi SmartChain Mobile User Guide or the Savi SmartChain
Workstation User Guide for initialization information.
Hibernating the Tag
7
Hibernating the Tag
You can hibernate the tag to conserve the battery. To place the tag in
hibernation mode using SmartChain Mobile:
1. Remove the mobile device (also known as a handheld interrogator)
from the cradle and login to SmartChain Mobile.
2. Make sure the mobile device is disconnected from the external power
supply.
3. From the Main menu, tap Tags & Devices > Hibernate Tags.
4. Tap Add.
5. Tap Collect to begin active tag collection.
6. Select a tag from the list and tap OK.
You can select multiple tags.
Savi ST-TAG NUMBER Installation Guide
8
7. To add tags to the collection, tap Add and repeat steps 4 and 5.
8. When you finish adding tags, tap Hibernate.
9. Tap:
•New Hibernate Tags to disable UHF reception for other tags.
•Return to Main Menu to go back to the Main menu.
For more information, see the Savi SmartChain Mobile User Guide.
Initializing Satellite
Communication
Once you activate the RFID, you can initialize satellite communication.
1. Start Savi SmartChain Mobile on the mobile device.
2. From the Main menu, tap Tag Commands.
3. Enter or scan the RFID Tag ID in the space provided and tap Read
Tag.
4. Tap the GPS Reporting tab.
5. Tap the Standard Positional Reporting desired and tap Next.
6. Tap Write Tag.
Refer to the Savi SmartChain Mobile User Guide or the Savi
SmartChain WorkStation User Guide for initialization information.
Placing the Tag for Best Performance
9
Placing the Tag for Best
Performance
Savi Technology recommends that you mount the tag on a flat horizontal
surface, with a clear view of the sky. The tag may also be mounted
vertically on the side of a container. For best performance, place the tag as
high as possible, safe from impact, and away from obstructions on the
asset. For satellite reporting, a clear view of the sky is required.
During transit, ensure that tags mounted on multiple containers are not
obstructed by other containers. If the container is loaded onto a vehicle
for transport, avoid placing the tag on the side of a container that faces the
vehicle cab or any other obstruction.
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. Secure the tag
to the mounting sleeve using the three provided 8-24 screws.
Typical mounting locations include on the hood of a vehicle or on the
outside of the container on a flat surface.
For best performance, make sure the tag is:
• Mounted with clear view of the sky
• Mounted on a metal surface
• Mounted horizontally whenever possible, otherwise vertically
• Not mounted behind or between metal objects
• Secured to the Optional Mounting Bracket to provide the minimum
clearance to the asset (.575 inch or 1.5 cm)
Savi ST-TAG NUMBER Installation Guide
10
The next figure shows an example of a tag mounted on an ISO container
according to the performance guidelines.
Note: Make sure you clean the surface of the container or other asset
before attaching the tag.
The tag has 400-foot (122m) read/write range to Savi SR-650 Fixed
Readers. For the most consistent communications with the tag, the readers
must be mounted:
• To have an unobstructed line-of-sight to the tag
• At 20 feet (6m) or higher
Caution: Tags mounted close to the ground may have less range.
Follow the instructions in the Savi SR-650 Fixed Reader Installation
Guide to locate and position the Savi Fixed Reader for best performance.
Mounting the Tag
11
Mounting the Tag
When mounting the tag, use the plastic mounting sleeve. You can choose
among several methods for mounting the sleeve, including using pressure
sensitive tape (PST).
Mounting the tag directly onto the asset limits access to the battery and
should be avoided.
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.
You can also use the following alternative fastening methods:
• Tie-wraps
•Twine
• Screws
•Rivets
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.
For ease of installation, the tag comes with PST on the back of the plastic
mounting sleeve.
Note: Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C
to 38°C). After application, the bond reaches maximum strength after 3
days.
PST mounting kits are also available for separate purchase.
Once a mounting sleeve is fastened to an asset, you can leave it on the
asset even after the tag is removed so the sleeve is available for future use
with other compatible tags. Prior to re-use, visually inspect the
Savi ST-TAG NUMBER Installation Guide
12
PST-mounted sleeve to make sure it is attached securely. If necessary,
reinstall the sleeve using new PST.
Conserving the Battery
The tag's battery can be depleted by excessive accessing through
overpolling. Minimizing a tag’s exposure to unintentional reader signals
can help extend battery life.
Avoid Overpolling
The most common cause of early battery depletion is overpolling.
Overpolling can occur when the tag is left idle within range of an RF
reader such as in a warehouse, shipping yard, or near a gate where fast
UHF polling is used.
Use Hibernation Mode
You can protect unused tags from unintentional polling by placing them in
Hibernation mode. See “Hibernating the Tag” on page 7.
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. Unscrew the two 6-32 screws from the battery cover.
2. Remove the discharged battery from its compartment.
For more information, see “Activating and Initializing 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 fresh 6V lithium battery into the tag housing by first lowering
the tab end in then lowering the connector end.
The battery should fit snugly.
When a battery is inserted into a tag, the tag emits 2 short beeps one
second apart to indicate adequate battery voltage or 3 short beeps if a
fresh battery is required.
4. After the beep, secure the battery with the two provided 6-32 screws.
