Security tag mounted on an  ISO container door

Note:  

Make sure you clean the surface of the container or other asset 

before attaching the tag.

The tag will have 400-foot (122m) read/write range to Savi SR-650 Fixed 
Readers. For the most consistent communications with the tag, the Fixed 
Readers must be mounted:

to have an unobstructed line-of-sight to the tag

at 20 feet (6m) or higher

Follow the instructions in the Savi Fixed Reader documentation to locate 
and position the Savi Fixed Reader for best performance.
