Facility requirements
All electrical power and network wiring must be in place before you call 3M to complete the SelfCheck system installation.
Specifications
Environmental specifications
Ensure that the site meets the following environmental requirements before installing the SelfCheck System.
Note: Do not place the SelfCheck System in an enclosed area or any place where excess heat can build up. For proper
ventilation, there must be at least 8 inches (20 cm) of space between the back of the SelfCheck System and any
vertical surface.
Humidity
0% to 85% RH, non-condensing
Operating Temperature
50° F to 93° F
(10° C to 34° C)
Storage Temperature
–22° F to 131° F
(–30° C to 55° C)
Power requirements
Ensure that the following electrical power is available:
100 to 120 VAC, 6.0 A, 50/60 Hz, single phase, or
200 to 240 VAC, 3.0 A, 50/60 Hz, single phase.
The power cable supplied by 3M is 9.8 feet (3 m).
SelfCheck wired networking requirements
The SelfCheck supports the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T Ethernet protocols and requires the following computer connections
and cabling:
• Computer connection: PCI slot
• Cabling: RJ-45
SelfCheck wireless networking requirements
The wireless network adapter implements the IEEE 802.11(g) and 802.11(b) wireless protocols and requires a PCI slot when
pre-installed and USB port when installed after the system itself is installed.

Facility requirements
Security
Network security–wired and wireless–is the responsibility of the library, the library’s IT
department, or contracted IT personnel. Security measures include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Separation from the library’s public wireless network and SSID transmission suppression, so
the access point is not readily visible or likely to be used or connected to by library patrons.
• Either WPA encryption or WEP encryption, with encryption key rotation and/or MAC address
filtering.
• If financial transactions are implemented using credit or debit cards, the customer must conform
to Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards (DSS) developed by the PCI Standards
Council. Requirements can be found at http://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/.
Access Point
The wireless network adapter is currently supported for use with the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series
access point, with the possibility of others to be determined.
Signal Strength
The SelfCheck System must be located within optimal operational range of the wireless access
point, as determined by access point signal strength, which can be analyzed and measured using
software that is installed with the wireless network adapter.
•
Transmitted signal strength from the wireless access point must be greater than –27dBm as
measured at the installed location of the SelfCheck System.
• Software RSSI (received signal strength indicator) must show greater than 90% signal strength
(all five bars of RSSI are green) at the installed location of the SelfCheck System.
Guidelines
The following can help ensure the required signal strength at the location where the SelfCheck
System is installed.
•
Install the SelfCheck System within twenty feet (20 ft. [6 m]) of the wireless access point.
• Install the SelfCheck System in line-of-sight of the wireless access point, with minimal or
no metal objects between the SelfCheck System and the wireless access point, to reduce
radio-frequency interference or multi-path distortion effects.
Location requirements and recommendations
Requirements
The SelfCheck Systems must comply with the following requirements:
• Be located within reach of an electrical outlet and network connector. The power cord is 9.8 feet (3 m) long.
• Be no closer than 8 inches (20.3 cm) from any vertical surface to maintain proper ventilation.
• Be accessible from the back to a service technician. If the unit is placed close to a wall or other vertical surface, do
not bolt it in place.
• Be placed away from direct sunlight, keeping in mind that the angle of the sun changes with the seasons.
Recommendations
The following are 3M recommendations for your SelfCheck System:
• Locate the system near an exit in an area visible to patrons and staff, who can monitor use and offer assistance if required.
• Locate the system where there is sufficient space for carts and other carrying devices.
• Consider storage and extra counter space requirements for items being processed.
• If there are multiple systems in an area, set them up identically to provide a uniform environment for patrons.

Dimensions and materials
Counter area
The countertop must be deep enough to position the SelfCheck System’s monitor and wide enough to set processed and
unprocessed library materials on either side of the monitor.
Minimum recommended dimensions: 24 in. × 32 in. (60.9 cm × 81.3 cm)
Note: To meet ADA side approach requirements, the counter height should be a maximum of 36 inches and the monitor
should be located no further than 15 inches from the front of the counter. In addition, the distance from the bottom of
the monitor screen to the floor should be no higher than 48 inches (121.9 cm).
Interior dimensions
The interior of the furniture where the SelfCheck System equipment is stored must have room enough to house the computer
and appliance coupler. In addition, we recommend that the furniture have storage space for the computer keyboard and mouse.
Minimum volume: 8 in. × 16 in. × 24 in. (20.3 cm × 68.6 cm × 68.6 cm)

Specifications and dimensions
Ventilation
If the computer is in an enclosed cabinet, it must have sufficient airflow to keep it below its maximum operating temperatures
(93° F / 34° C). For passive ventilation, ventilation cutouts should be evenly divided between the top and bottom of
the equipment space.
Minimum area of ventilation cutouts (total): 80 square inches (511 square centimeters).
Stability
The furniture must meet Underwriters Laboratories Inc. standards for stability. For custom installations, customer shall insure
that minimum standards for stability are complied with per UL standard 60950 (for North America), IEC 60950 (for countries
outside Europe), or EN60950 (for Europe).
Counter layout
The furniture that is used should meet the minimum space requirements, as defined in Figure 1 Dimensions (front view) on
page 13 and Figure 2 Printer, monitor, keyboard, and smart card reader on page 14. Make sure your furniture is set up
before the 3M technician is called to install the SelfCheck System.
Note: The keyboard is used for system setup and maintenance and is not typically left on the countertop for use by customers.

Computer
The computer does not require mounting holes. It may be placed flat on a shelf or stood vertically on its custom stand.
Because of its weight, it should be placed low in the furniture. It should be placed so the connectors and the CD drive, which
are on opposite sides, are both accessible. Space should be provided for the CD tray to open. If the computer is mounted
vertically, the computer should be oriented so the CD tray can be loaded from the side of the computer shown in Figure 3
