&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 You can choose among several mounting methods for SaviTag ST-654, including using pressure sensitive tape, rivets, or a plastic mounting sleeve. 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.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 )LJXUH 6DYL7DJ 67 IDFWRU\ LQVWDOOHG 367 Once a mounting sleeve is fastened to an asset, you can leave it on the asset even after the SaviTag ST-654 is removed so it is available for future use with other compatible SaviTags. Prior to re-use, visually inspect the PST-mounted sleeve to make sure it is attached securely. If necessary, reinstall the sleeve using new PST. 367 5HOLDELOLW\ DQG 'XUDELOLW\ 3M Corporation has conducted extensive environmental testing on their Autom
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 Savi’s tests confirm the excellent adhesion integrity and reliability of 3M PST. ◆ 3M Corporation conducted a longevity test of PST. They found no significant degradation in the performance of PST even after five years of service on a test vehicle. As long as the surface is prepared properly, PST will work reliably for five years or longer. See “Preparing the Surface for PST Application” on page 18.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 This demonstration was performed at about 50 degrees Fahrenheit on a mounting surface covered with moisture and condensation. The optimum mounting surface temperature for PST application is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above. At this temperature full adhesion strength will be achieved within a few hours. But 3M has successfully applied PST to exposed surfaces at temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 Using rags or paper towels, clean the mounting surface so it is free of dirt, rust, and loose paint flakes. If the surface is heavily soiled, use a mild soap and water solution to scrub the surface clean. Ensure that the mounting surface is free from moisture and condensation.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 $SSO\LQJ WKH 7DJ Return to the location where the mounting sleeve or tag is to be attached to the shipping container or asset. Obtain a mounting sleeve with PST installed and carefully remove the red protective film covering. Avoid touching the PST adhesive. You can also apply PST directly to the back of a tag that is to be mounted without a sleeve. Position the sleeve, making sure the retaining clip is pointed up.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 When the sleeve or tag is straight, press it into place. Apply pressure to the tape strips by pushing firmly against the tag or inside surface of the sleeve. To assure a good bond, apply as much finger pressure as possible and work fingers up and down the area over the tape strips. If applicable, insert the tag into the sleeve and insert a wire loop or nylon tie-wrap through the two retaining ears. No tape curing time is required prior to installing the tag.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 The mounting sleeve is equipped with a tie-wrap groove to ensure that the SaviTag ST-654 is securely fastened. 7LH ZUDS JURRYH To prevent the tag from dislodging from the tag mounting sleeve as a result of sudden impact or extreme shocks, insert the supplied tie-wrap through the sleeve.

Remove the tape on the sleeve, tag, or mounting surface by rubbing with dry thumbs.
