How the System Works

Your 3M Detection System consists of several components, which include security strips, circulation accessories, and the detection system.

The key to the effectiveness of your system is protecting your materials with security strips. Only when materials are protected can your detection system detect someone trying to leave your library without properly checking out items.

The primary zone of detection is areas where patrons typically carry items. The electronic coverage in this area is not 100%, and it will vary with the options you have and the type of security strips/markers you use. However, the rate of detection is effective to deter the loss of protected materials.

Checking out materials is accomplished using desensitizers to “turn off” the strips while re-sensitizers are used to “turn on” the strips when materials are returned to the library. This allows for full circulation of all library materials.

3M Detection Systems are designed to detect sensitized 3M security strips and then sound an alarm, thus preventing unauthorized removal of library materials.

It is this simple:

•Mark the materials.

•Circulate the materials using desensitizers and re-sensitizers.

•Listen for the detection system alarm to sound when unauthorized removal of materials occurs. It is also important to watch for suspicious actions such as holding materials above the head or moving items around the lattices when passing through the detection system.

700 Series specifications

The 3M 700 Series represents a significant advancement in respiratory protection technology, designed to offer exceptional safety, comfort, and efficiency for a variety of industrial and healthcare applications. This series underscores 3M's commitment to quality and innovation in personal protective equipment, making it a preferred choice among professionals who require reliable respiratory solutions.

One of the standout features of the 3M 700 Series is its advanced filtration technology, which is crafted to minimize exposure to hazardous airborne particles. The series utilizes a multi-layered filter design that effectively captures dust, smoke, and mists across a broad range of environments. The P100 particulate filters are designed with electrostatically charged fibers that not only increase the efficiency of capturing small particles but also enhance breathability, reducing user fatigue during prolonged use.

Another key characteristic of the 3M 700 Series is its versatile half and full-face respirators, which provide various levels of respiratory protection suited to different environments. The half-face respirators are lightweight and designed for comfort, featuring an adjustable head strap that ensures a secure fit. The full-face options offer a wider field of vision and an additional layer of protection against chemical splashes and vapors, making them ideal for demanding applications in industrial settings.

The 3M 700 Series also integrates user-friendly technologies, such as the Quick Latch feature, which allows wearers to easily remove and replace the respirator without fully removing it from their faces. This is particularly advantageous in situations where users need to take short breaks without compromising their safety. Additionally, the respirators are compatible with a range of filters and cartridges, enabling flexibility in meeting specific safety needs.

Comfort is paramount in the design of the 3M 700 Series. The soft silicone facepiece material ensures a secure and comfortable fit, helping to create a good seal that enhances performance. The respirators are also equipped with adjustable straps and a lightweight structure that minimizes pressure points on the face, allowing for extended wear without discomfort.

In conclusion, the 3M 700 Series stands out for its innovative features, advanced filtration technology, and user-oriented design. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for professionals seeking reliable respiratory protection in a wide array of environments. Whether in construction, healthcare, or manufacturing, the 3M 700 Series offers a comprehensive solution for safeguarding respiratory health while maintaining comfort and practicality.
