C
Savi® Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag with GPS/GPRS and Sensors is a high performance active RFID tag
that works with Savi software to track and
monitor the security status of containers as they move through the global
supply chain. This device is fully compatible with fixed and portable Savi readers and features up to 300 feet (91.44
meters) of omni-directional line-of-sight range. In addition, ST-696-001 Tag utilizes GPS receiver to report and
recorded asset location using GSM/GPRS cellular network.
Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery life is typically 90 days between the charges. The ST-696-001 tag is available with
128K of programmable memory. It includes a door clamp and external antennas. Using the door clamp, you affix the
tag to the left door of an ISO-compliant container.
Note: Savi Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag only supports ISO 668: 1995(E) Series 1 freight containers.

Intrusion Detection Sensors
The ST-696-001 tags include door and light sensors. The door sensor monitors the amount of pressure
between the door and the device. If the door is open and the device has not been electronically unsealed, the
device sends a message to the monitoring software indicating that the device has been tampered. It also
writes the time and date of the tamper to an event log. The device also includes a light sensor that triggers an
alarm if light is detected inside the container.
Environmental Sensors
The environmental sensors on the ST-696-001 tags monitor the temperature and humidity within the
container. You can set the maximum and minimum values, and if the temperature or humidity rises above or
falls below this range, the device writes the time and date of the breach to the event log. For example, if you
are shipping a product that needs to be kept at temperatures between x and y degrees, you can set the ST-
696-001 tag to record the date and time whenever the temperature breaches the maximum or minimum value.
Tamper-Protection Plate
The tamper-protection plate’s right angle flaps are bent to extend and protect the gap behind the plate as well
as the tag plate. This plate prevents anyone from inserting a foreign object in an attempt to hold the tag plate in
the closed position.
RFID Communication Module
The communication module is positioned on the outside of the container and operates at 433 MHz. This
enables the Savi Tag ST-696-001 to communicate back to the Savi network with excellent RF performance
in both heavy metal and non line-of-sight environments.
GPS/GPRS Communication Modules
The GPS receiver communication module is positioned on the outside of the container and it periodically
turns on to acquire the location information which gets logged and subsequently reported through GPRS
module to the application. The GPRS modem is a quad band radio that support worldwide deployment on
GSM/GPRS cellular networks.

Installing Savi Tag
ST-696-001 ISO
Container
Door Tag
Required Tools and Materials
Before you begin installation, make sure the following materials are available:
◆ Savi Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag with GPS/GPRS
◆ SaviTag Write Cable STA-1030
◆ Wall Adapter (provided)
Tag commissioning with SaviTag
Write Cable STA-1030
You can commission Savi Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag using SaviTag Write Cable STA-1030. You
can also commission a tag using Savi software that operates on a mobile device, such as the Intermec® 741G/A or
751G/A Mobile Computer with an attached Savi® Mobile Reader SMR-650. You can purchase the cable,
software, and mobile device separately.
WARNING!!!
The antenna used for GSM transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of
at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter to ensure compliance with FCC (and other, national) rf
exposure requirements.
Note: Savi Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag is shipped from the factory with the battery at 50% charge.
Before you attempt to commission the tag, make sure the battery is fully charged. |
See “Charging the Tag Battery ” on page 11.

1. Connect SaviTag Write Cable STA-1030 to an available serial port
on the host computer.
2. Locate the tag commissioning port on the Savi ST-696-001 ISO
Container Door Tag.
3. Unplug the rubber cap covering the port.
4. Insert SaviTag Write Cable STA-1030, with the LED up, into the Tag
ST-696-001 commissioning port. Start the tag commissioning
application. The LED is lit when the application writes data to the tag.

Charging the Tag Battery
Savi Tag ST-696-001 ISO Container Door Tag is equipped with
non-volatile memory, which means stored data is not lost when the
battery is fully depleted.
1. Using a coin or flat-head screwdriver, turn the charging plug
cover counterclockwise.
When removing the charging plug cover, hold on to it to avoid
dropping it.
2. Plug wall adapter (provided) into the standard AC outlet.
3. Plug the wall adapters’ plug into the power jack on the tag.
Charging of fully depleted battery may take from 10-12 hours. In
order to check whether the battery if fully charged remove that
plug and wait for the tag to complete power up sequence. After
several seconds the Tag will beep with 4 consecutive beeps. The
fourth beep indicates battery charge state. If the fourth beep is
short then the battery is full. If the fourth beep is long than the
battery is low and if it is missing (only 3 beeps heard) the battery
is still not fully charged. If the battery is not fully charged reconnect the wall adapter plug back into the units and
wait until tag reports fully charged battery status.
4.
After completing the battery charging using a coin or screwdriver.
With the coin placed in the power plug cover groove, push the cover in. Turn the plug cover
counterclockwise 1/4 to 1/2 of a turn to properly seat the cover. Turn the battery cover clockwise until it
fits flush with the tag case. Be careful not to overtighten. Make sure the plug cover is completely closed
and that it is not cross-threaded.

and on the lefthand door of the container. The recommended mounting location for the tag is shown in the following
photos.
1. Open the right door of the container.
2. Align the device with the bracket on the right door, if possible.
3. Using both hands, secure the device on the left door until it is flush. This is a view
from inside the container.

4. Move the door sensor to the left and ensure that the
lever is fully extended before closing the container
door. This is a side view of the device mounted on the left
door. This is a view of the outside of the container
5. Close the right door. This is a view of the tag on the container with both
doors closed.
6. Seal the tag using the software on your mobile device. The door sensor
recognizes when the right door is closed and when the container is
dark.
7. After successfully sealing the tag, insert the container’s bolt into the
hasp.
