Introduction

The global leader in library systems products

3M pioneered the concept of electronic protection of library materials more than 35 years ago. We are still leading the way. Today, thousands of libraries around the world use 3M™ Detection Systems to protect their valuable collections, and more libraries trust 3M than all other library detection systems combined.

What this means to you

From the best-trained field service organization to our technical service group and customer support staff, we are committed to providing you with the support you require to help ensure your satisfaction.

The 3M™ Detection System Model 8800 series has been designed to detect the unauthorized removal of materials concealed within book bags, briefcases, or under clothing. While a 100% electronic net does not exist, the system provides effective protection and significant reduction in the loss of library materials.

With a little attention and care, your system should provide you with many years of service and help to protect your library against thousands of dollars in losses. Call our toll-free 800 number any time of day or night for service, to order supplies, or to leave messages for your sales representative at

1-800-328-0067 .

Training your Staff

A key element of any media loss prevention effort is a successful staff training program. Your system will be much more effective with the active cooperation and participation of your entire library staff. We recommend that you periodically conduct formal training sessions, including the following elements to ensure its success:

§ Reviewing the owners manual

§ Practice tagging materials with 3M™ D8 RFID tags

§ Reviewing your library's security policies

§ Reviewing how to respond when the alarm sounds

§ Using the system alarm log

§ Addressing patron concerns

Hands-on practice

After reviewing the owner’s manual, your staff will benefit from actual hands-on experience with the 3M Library Systems products they are expected to use. We suggest you start by demonstrating the proper techniques for each tagging procedure. You may wish to conduct the actual practice as follows:

1 Make sure that all the other 3M Library Systems products are installed and functional.

2 Let each staff member practice installing the 3M™ D8 RFID tags on library items.

3 Let each staff member practice securing and unsecuring materials.

Review of your library's security policies

Before practicing how to respond to alarms, staff should be familiar with the library's security policies as they relate to theft of materials. To help staff stay informed of security measures, your policy should be in writing and kept with your training kit with any other procedures you follow.

It is particularly important for staff members to know what procedures the library follows when theft is suspected or when it is necessary to contact a local law enforcement agency.

A critical phase of staff training concerns the proper steps to take when the security system alarm sounds. The value of tact and courtesy when handling this delicate situation cannot be overemphasized. Your staff members should receive as much preparation as possible to make them feel comfortable. With the proper training, your staff will be more likely to deal effectively with patrons who activate the alarm.

Addressing patron concerns

If your patrons express concern about the effect of the system on pacemakers, hearing aids, or recorded magnetic media, you can respond that 3M researchers (in conjunction with the manufacturers of these items) have conducted tests on the system and have found them to be perfectly safe.

System Configurations

Detection panels

Your 3M™ Detection System Model 8800 series consists of the system and 3M™ D8 RFID tags. The key to the effectiveness of your system is protecting your materials with the tags. Your system can only detect someone trying to leave your library without properly checking out items when all materials are tagged.

Power requirements

Maximum current draw for all systems:

§ 110/120 VAC: 500 mA

§ 200/240 VAC: 250 mA

Environmental (operation)

Typical ambient temperature range: 50° F (10° C) to 104° F (40° C).

Humidity: 0% to 85% relative humidity, non-condensing

Turning your system on and off

Your 3M™ Detection System Model 8800 series has been designed to be left on continuously.

Turning the system on

1 Ensure that the power cord is connected to a power outlet or other source of power.

2 Turn the key switch to the On position

3 Allow 10 seconds for the system to warm up.

Turning the system off

Remove power from the system by one of the following methods:

Method 1 Turn the On/Off key switch to the Off position.

Method 2 Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

Method 3 Set the facility circuit breaker for the system to the Off position.

Verifying system operation

Your 3M™ Detection System Model 8800 series should be inspected daily for proper operation. To verify system operation including alarm sounds, pass through the system with a tagged library item. This should result in an audible alarm and a flashing alarm light at the top of the panels. There is no need for repetitive walk-through testing.

During normal operation, the current patron count is displayed. Each pass through the system should increment the patron counter by one.

Setting the audible alarm and display intensity

The duration and repetition rate of the audible alarm and the intensity of the display is set up during installation.

Cleaning instructions

Panel and base

Turn off the security system prior to using liquid cleaners. Remove dirt and greasy buildup using towels or soft cloths that have been dampened with a common household grease-cutting liquid cleaner. 3M suggests a monthly cleaning to retain the best equipment appearance.

Photocell lens and reflector

At least once a month, wipe the photocell lens and reflector with a soft cloth dampened with water.
