Introduction
Using this architect/contractor package
This package provides architects and contractors with information necessary to prepare the site for the

Wall construction: Models 2820 and 2822
This section provides wall construction requirements for 3M Intelligent Return Plus models.
Before beginning new construction or changing an existing structure, contact 3M Library Systems Technical
Service at 1-800-328-0067 (website: http://www.3M.com/library) or your sales representative to:
•
Confirm that you have the most recent version of this document.
•
Verify that the proposed system can be installed in the planned space.
Wall opening dimensions and materials
•
The 2820/2822 system requires a wall opening 28 in. wide × 27.5 in. high [711 mm wide × 699 mm high].
•
The surround adds a 3 in. (76 mm) border around the opening.
•
The system can be installed in walls with depths that range from 4 in. to 18 in. (102 mm to 457 mm).
•
The wall opening requires framing material that will readily accept the surround anchoring screws. This
material cannot be concrete, brick, or rock of any kind. 3M recommends 2 x 6 inch treated wood framing.
•
3M requires that the
bottom of the wall
opening be 33 in. (838
mm) from the floor on
the staff side. If the staff
and patron side surfaces
are at the same
elevation, this will place
the shelf at a height of
36 in. (914 mm), which
is an ADA
recommendation. If the
elevation differs, contact
your 3M sales
representative or 3M
technical support to
discuss options.

Note:
The system requires an

exactly with the dimensions
listed in the figure. If you
plan to finish the opening,
the rough opening must be
large enough to
accommodate the finished
materials and still maintain these dimensions.

Wall thickness and weight bearing capacity
•
The system can be installed in walls that are between 4 in. to 18. in [102 to 457 mm] thick.
•
The wall should be strong enough to bear the weight of the 3M Intelligent Return, which means it should be
able to handle the additional 225 lb. [102 kg] when the system is placed on it.

Minimum distance to walls
3M recommends the following:
•
A minimum of 18 in. [457 mm] between the induction unit and the wall or other obstruction. When this isn't
possible, contact 3M Technical Service.
•
Sufficient space between sorters and the wall or other obstructions to allow the staff to place and move
bins.

Minimum distances between RFID systems
This section lists minimum distances required between 3M RFID systems in order to avoid RF interference. In
some situations, these distances may not be sufficient, though this can only be determined on-site. Specific
systems may have additional requirements regarding cable routing, power supplies, other sources of
interference and space for clearance for maintenance, workflow, and other considerations. See the sections that

between “systems.” This combined system cannot exceed eight lattices.
† Measurement is from the RFID reader.
