Savi ST-656 Data-Rich Tag
Description
The Savi ST-656 tag is an active RFID tag for shipping containers that
enables shippers, carriers, and logistics service providers to monitor
shipments in real time as they move through the global supply chain. The
ST-656 tag’s unique C-clamp door-mount design places the sensitive
RFID components inside the shipping container. Only the low profile,
external antenna casing is on the outside of the container, which
significantly reduces the risk of tag damage during the loading,
unloading, and transportation of shipping containers.

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. 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
