How the System Works

Your 3Mt Library System consists of several components, including 3Mt Tattle-TapetSecurity Strips, circulation accessories, and the detection system(s).

The key to the effectiveness of the system is protecting your materials with 3M Tattle-Tape security strips. Only when materials are protected can the 3M Detection system detect someone trying to leave the library without properly checking out items.

The primary zone of detection between the lattices extends from the floor to 72 inches [1,82 m] above the floor. The electronic coverage in this area is not 100% and it will vary with the options you have and the type of 3M security markers you use. The rate of detection in this area is effective to deter the loss of protected materials.

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

The 3M detection system is designed to detect sensitized 3M Tattle-Tape security strips and then sound an alarm, thus preventing unauthorized removal of library materials.

It is this simple:

Mark materials as described in this manual.

Circulate materials using desensitizers and resensitizers described in the Accessories section.

Listen for the 3M detection system alarm to sound when unauthorized removal of materials occurs. Of course, it is also important to watch for suspicious actions such as holding materials above the head and passing items around the lattices when passing through the detection system.

3M offers several models of detection systems to meet your library’s needs. See the next section for the details on the various models.
