CHAPTER 2 Installing the Tag
14 Savi SensorTag ST-674 Installation Guide
Tag Placement
Savi Technology recommends that you mount Savi SensorTag ST-674 by
adhering the tag and supplied plastic mounting sleeve with pressure
sensitive tape (
PST) to the inside or outside of a Class VIII container or
plastic, cardboard, or wood container or box. You can also loosely place the
tag inside a non-metallic container or box.
PST Reliability and Durability
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 mounting sleeve. PST mounting kits are also available for
separate purchase.
Once a mounting sleeve is fastened to an asset, you can leave it on the asset
even after Savi SensorTag ST-674 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.
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. 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.
◆ Savi Technology successfully conducted the following tests upon
samples of 3M PST:
❖ Extreme temperature -40ºC to +158ºF (–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 adhesion integrity and reliability of 3M PST.
