Conserving the Battery SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 is equipped with a non-replaceable battery which can become depleted by excessive accessing through overpolling. Low Battery Warning The battery will last approximately three to five years.
CHAPTER Installing SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 The SaviTag has an algorithm to identify when it is in an idle environment and manage its power consumption. In addition, you can put the SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 to sleep or wake it from a sleeping state manually by enabling or disabling the UHF receiver. With the UHF receiver disabled, the tag stops responding to tag collections from any fixed or mobile reader initiating UHF collection commands.
Placing the Tag Savi SmartChain Mobile Manager searches for and displays a list of all SaviTag ST-654 within range and indicates if they can be enabled or disabled. 4. Select a tag to disable its UHF receiver. 5. Select OK to close the confirmation message. 6. Select another tag to disable or select Done. To wake the SaviTag ST-614/ST-615, follow the steps outlined for taking the SaviTag out of storage mode, as described in “Commissioning SaviTag ST-614/ST-615” on page 13.

CHAPTER Installing SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Technology recommends for mounting SaviTags is 3M Corporation’s Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape. For ease of installation, during manufacturing Savi installs this PST on the back of the tag. PST mounting kits are also available for separate purchase. Figure -3 SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 factory installed PST Preparing the Surface for PST Application PST is suitable for almost any smooth, flat surface made of metal or plastic.
Mounting SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 a few hours. But 3M has successfully applied PST to exposed surfaces at temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Even at these lower temperatures, tags can be installed immediately after PST application; full adhesion strength will be achieved within 24 hours. Make sure you have the following cleaning materials available: ◆ General purpose cleaner.
CHAPTER Installing SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 3. Using rags or paper towels, clean the mounting surface so it is free of dirt, rust, and loose paint flakes. 4. If the surface is heavily soiled, use a mild soap and water solution to scrub the surface clean. 5. Ensure that the mounting surface is free from moisture and condensation.
Mounting SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Applying the Tag 1. Return to the location where the tag is to be attached to the shipping container or asset. Mounting SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Using Rivets Note: If you want to mount SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 using rivets, consider removing the PST as outlined in “Removing Pressure Sensitive Tape-Mounted Tags” on page 25. 1. Determine where the SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 is to be attached to the asset. 2.
CHAPTER Installing SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Mounting SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Using Other Methods You can mount SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 using some or all of the fasteners listed on page 19. You will need to provide your own rivets or screws. Figure -6 SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 mounting holes The tag is equipped with a tie-wrap groove to ensure that SaviTag ST614/ST-615 is securely fastened.
Removing Pressure Sensitive Tape-Mounted Tags Removing Pressure Sensitive TapeMounted Tags Savi recommends that you leave the tag attached to the asset for later reuse, but if it is necessary to remove the tag: 1. Lift one end of the RFID tag with a putty knife or chisel and separate the tape. 2. Remove the tape on the tag or mounting surface by rubbing with dry thumbs. 3. Use a scouring pad with a mild soap and water solution to remove any remaining adhesive.

Appendix A: PST Reliability and Durability 3M Corporation has conducted extensive environmental testing on their Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape. In addition, Savi has conducted its own independent environmental tests of PST using SaviTag ST-410 as a test platform. The U.S. Army (Tobyhanna Army Depot) has also tested PST for use on surfaces treated with Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC). All these tests confirm that PST is an appropriate choice for mounting SaviTags.
