Accessories
This section contains information for proper use and operation of the accessories used with 3M detection systems. You may use one
or more of these accessories, depending on your library’s volume and the materials requiring protection.
CAUTION
Never leave a resensitizer or desensitizer unattended. Access to the unit may allow your security system to be defeated. A good
practice is to locate these units away from areas that are readily accessible to patrons.
CAUTION
Security strips on protected items must be properly desensitized so the items can be carried through the library system without
causing alarms.
CAUTION
Security strips must be resensitized when the marked items are returned. Improperly resensitized items will not alarm when
passed through the library system.

Installation requirements
The Model 764 can be set on any non-metallic table or cart. It may make noise and vibrate if within 0.8 inches [20 mm] of metal
objects or surfaces. A mounting base option is available to eliminate this situation.
For proper operation, the printed material must be moved across the front of the unit, so ensure adequate space on either side for
sliding this material.
Troubleshooting
If the indicator light does not turn on during a proper pass, do the following:
1.
Check the power connection.
2.
If the power connection is good, disconnect the power cord
from the unit, pull out the fuse holder and check the fuse.
A spare fuse is provided with each new Model 764. This
unit is not otherwise operator serviceable.
Service
In the U.S., the Model 764 is not serviced at the customer site. If a unit fails, it is replaced. When the replacement unit is received,
the user packages the failed unit in the shipping carton and returns it to 3M. For assistance or more information on this program,
please call the 3M National Service Center 1 (800) 328-0067.
International users should call the 3M subsidiary in their area for information on local service.

Resensitizing books and other print media
Note: The Model 764 has been designed for a comfortable processing speed. The photocell must be unblocked for a short time
(approximately 1.5 seconds) between books.
Note: The speed with which material is processed can be increased by stacking printed materials up to the height of the vertical
front surface of the unit. This is especially helpful for thin materials such as periodicals.
Note: Multiple passes are not required to resensitize an item unless the indicator light does not turn on and off.
Procedure
Slide the marked item from right to left along the front of the Model 764 as shown below, keeping the spine of the marked
item in contact with the front surface.
1.
Start the pass with the marked item completely to the right
of the Model 764.
2.
Ensure that the indicator light turns on as you slide the
item to the left.
3.
Continue sliding the item to the left until it passes
across the entire front surface of the unit. To ensure that
processing is completed, the indicator light must turn off
at the end of the pass.
Resensitizing CDs and DVDs
The procedure for resensitizing CDs is the same as for books, except the CD must be positioned upright as shown below and
two passes must be made.
1.
Pass the CD across the front surface of the Model 764 once.
2.
Rotate the CD clockwise or counterclockwise 180 degrees,
so the bottom is now on top.
3.
Pass the CD across the unit a second time.

Model 494 Locking Gate
Description
The 3M Model 494 is designed to restrain patrons during an alarm. When the detection system detects a strip and triggers an alarm,
the exit gate locks in the closed position, blocking patron travel through the exit corridor. The gate remains locked for the alarm
period, though it can be opened during an emergency by applying a force of between 15– 25 lb. [6,8– 11,3 kg].
The default movement for a gate is clockwise but can be modified to a counterclockwise movement. The locking mechanism is
controlled by an alarm signal and power from the detection system.
Note: Gates are not available on the Detection System Model 3500.
Installation
Locking exit gates can be installed on either side of the detection
system. For single corridor systems, the gate box may be
located at the end of either panel. For dual corridor systems,
two gates are required, and the gate boxes must be located at the
ends of the two outside panels. Gates must be installed by 3M
factory-trained service personnel.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
• Gate will not lock or remains locked.
Place service call.
• Gate closes too quickly (less than 4 seconds) or
too slowly (more than 7 seconds).
Gate won’t close completely, that is, the gate
doesn’t return to the perpendicular position.
Apply sufficient pressure in the direction shown to return the gate to
the correct position.
Gate returns past the closed position.
Open the gate until it reaches the stop. Apply sufficient pressure (15
– 25 lb. [6,8 – 11,3 kg] of force) to move the gate arm an additional
amount. Release the gate arm and check its position. Repeat the
procedure as necessary.

CD and single-sided DVD —Tattle-Tape DCD–2
Apply Tattle-Tape Security Overlay DCD-2 directly to CDs, CD-ROMs, and single-sided DVDs to provide protection for the life of
the item. Each DCD–2 Strip consists of two small strips attached to a clear plastic overlay with an adhesive backing. This
overlay is attached to the label side of the disc.
Note: Security strips and overlay are combined to simplify installation.
Security overlay storage
• Store security overlays at 68° – 77° F [20° – 25°C] and at 35 - 55% relative humidity.
• Keep security overlays in a clean area and out of direct sunlight.
• Store the security overlays at least two feet [0,6 m] from all desensitizers or they may be partially or completely desensitized.
• Use security strips within 2 years of the manufacturing date to assure maximum adhesion of overlay.
• Rotate stock.
Special care requirements for DVDs
DVDs store 10 to 20 times more data than CDs, and higher density makes DVDs more susceptible to imperfections than CDs.
• DVDs are easily affected by smudges, fingerprints, small scratches, and disc flatness more than CDs
• DVDs must be flat or they may not play in some DVD players.
• Improperly applying a DCD–2 overlay to a DVD can warp it. Even a little warping can cause a DVD not to play. Carefully follow
these installation instructions and use the application mat to properly apply the DCD–2 overlay so that the DVD remains flat.
Applying DCD-2 overlays
Complete the following tasks to apply DCD-2 overlays.
Step 1– gather supplies
To apply DCD-2 overlays properly, you will need the following supplies:
• An application mat. If you don’t have one, please call 1-800-328-0067, Option 2 (U.S. only) or contact your local 3M Library
Systems Representative (outside the U.S.).
• Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other disc-cleaning liquid
• Soft, lint-free disc cleaning cloth
Step 2-Clean the disc surface
1.
Clean the label side of every disc before applying the DCD–2 overlay, even if the disc is new.
This will improve adhesion of the overlay to the disc.
• Avoid leaving fingerprints or scratches on disc surfaces by handling the disc only by the edges.
• Use a soft, lint-free, cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol.
2.
Wipe the entire label side of the disc, working from the center hole outward to the edge.
Note: Avoid scratching either side of the disc during cleaning/handling.

on the application mat. Ensure that the raised hub ring (on
the data side of the disc) fits within the cutout area around
the center of the application mat.
2.
Remove the smaller section of liner from the DCD–2 overlay.
3.
