With the coin placed in the battery cover groove, push the cover in.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 SaviTag ST-654 will achieve a 300-foot (91.44 meters) read range to SR-410 and SR-650 fixed readers. To achieve the most consistent communications with SaviTag ST-654, the fixed readers must be mounted: ◆ To have an unobstructed line of sight to the tag ◆ At 20 feet (6 meters) or higher ◆ With the reader dome pointed downward Recommended mounting locations for an M3 Container Roll-in/out Platform (CROP) and other mobile assets are shown in the following pictures.

Whichever mounting method you select, the goal is to prevent accidental loss of the tag by sudden impact, vibration, or shock during transport.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 8VLQJ 3UHVVXUH 6HQVLWLYH 7DSH If it is not possible or practical to use screws or rivets, you can use pressure sensitive tape (PST) to attach a SaviTag ST-654. The only brand of PST that Savi 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 plastic mounting sleeve.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 ◆ Savi Technology successfully conducted the following tests upon samples of 3M PST: ❖ Extreme temperature (–40º to +70º Celsius) ❖ Step test (200 pounds applied in shear) ❖ Shock (140g or 120 lbs.) ❖ Vibration (MIL-STD-810E) ❖ Salt fog (MIL-STD-810E) ❖ Corrosive liquids ❖ Peel test (50 pounds of peel force) Savi’s tests confirm the excellent adhesion integrity and reliability of 3M PST. ◆ 3M Corporation conducted a longevity test of PST.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 )LJXUH 'LUW\ JUHDV\ PRXQW ORFDWLRQ 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.
0RXQWLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 To clean the surface: Determine where the mounting sleeve or SaviTag ST-654 is to be attached to the shipping container or asset. Be sure that the surface to which the tapes will be applied is flat. Spray a liberal amount of general purpose cleaner onto the mounting surface. Using rags or paper towels, clean the mounting surface so it is free of dirt, rust, and loose paint flakes.
&+$37(5 ,QVWDOOLQJ 6DYL7DJ 67 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 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. When you are done, the mounted tag looks like this.

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