System operation

Turning your system on and off

There are two possible methods of powering the system:

•The system may be hard-wired into the power distribution panel of the facility’s electrical system, in which case, the system is switched on or off at a power disconnect switch or at the circuit-breaker for the circuit that supplies power to it.

•The system may be equipped with an AC power cord (or two AC power cords, one at each end of the detection system), in which case the system is on while power cord(s) are connected to live power outlet(s) and off when power is disconnected.

In the second case, the system can of course also be switched on or off at the circuit breaker for AC power outlet(s) to which the system is connected.

Note: If the detection system is connected to power at both ends, you must connect or disconnect power at both ends of the system.

Verifying system operation

Your system should be inspected daily for proper operation. To verify the system, walk through the system corridor with a secured library item. This should result in an audible alarm and flashing alarm lights in the detection lattices. There is no need for repetitive walk-through testing. During normal operation, the current patron count is displayed. Walking through each corridor should increment the patron counter as expected, depending on how patron counting is configured (by the technician) for the system.

•If patron counting is configured to count patrons as they enter, the patron count should increment the patron count by one as you enter and not increment as you exit through the corridor.

•If patron counting is configured to count patrons as they exit, the patron count should not increment as you enter, but it should increment by one as you exit through the corridor.

•If patron counting is configured to count patrons as they enter and exit, the patron count should increment by one as you enter through the corridor, and then increment by one again as you exit through the corridor.

All lattices in the system should be configured to count patrons in the same way. If the detection system is to be used with the optional 3M™ Stats & Status Software for 3M™ Detection System Model 8900–9900 Series, the patron counting method should be both.

9900 Series specifications

The 3M 9900 Series represents a significant advancement in personal protective equipment, specifically designed for environments that require enhanced respiratory protection. This series is widely recognized for its innovative features, exceptional performance, and user-centered design, making it a top choice for professionals across various industries, including construction, healthcare, and manufacturing.

One of the standout features of the 3M 9900 Series is its advanced filtration technology. The series utilizes a combination of innovative filter materials that provide superior protection against airborne contaminants, ensuring that wearers are safeguarded from harmful particulates, aerosols, and gases. The filtration efficiency is notably high, allowing for extended use in demanding conditions while maintaining comfort and breathability.

Another key characteristic of the 9900 Series is its ergonomic design. The masks are engineered to fit the contours of the face, reducing the likelihood of gaps that can compromise protection. This snug, comfortable fit allows for extended wear without discomfort, ensuring that users can perform their tasks without distraction. Additionally, the adjustable head straps provide a customizable fit, further enhancing the mask's effectiveness and usability.

The 3M 9900 Series also incorporates a unique exhalation valve, which plays a critical role in comfort during prolonged use. This valve allows for easier exhalation, reducing heat and moisture buildup inside the mask. As a result, wearers experience less fatigue and discomfort, making it ideal for tasks that require extended periods of respiratory protection.

Durability is another prominent feature of the 3M 9900 Series. The materials used in the construction of the masks are robust and designed to withstand the rigors of demanding environments. This durability ensures that users can rely on the 9900 Series for long-term use, making it a cost-effective choice for organizations.

Moreover, the 3M 9900 Series complies with stringent safety standards, providing users with the assurance of high-quality performance. The masks undergo rigorous testing to meet regulatory requirements, ensuring that they deliver reliable protection.

In summary, the 3M 9900 Series is a cutting-edge solution for respiratory protection, characterized by advanced filtration technology, ergonomic design, innovative exhalation valves, and superior durability. With a strong commitment to safety and comfort, the 3M 9900 Series stands as a trusted choice for professionals seeking reliable respiratory protection in challenging environments.
