Getting Started

Physical Installation

The customer is completely responsible for the physical installation of the 3M Model 795 Digital
Staff Workstation. Refer to the Customer In-counter Installation Instructions for detailed
instructions on how to cut a mounting hole and install the Model 795 Digital Staff Workstation.
These instructions are packed in a flat, cardboard container along with a metal template.

Important:

§ All electrical installation and electrical connections are to be completed by a 3M factory-
trained service technician. Do not connect the power cord to the power source!

§ The customer installation must be complete before calling a 3M Service Technician to
complete the electrical and checkout portions of the installation. The two types of physical
installations are described below.

§ It is very important that you determine the optimal location before attempting to install the
795 Digital Staff Workstation.

In-counter Installation

An in-counter installation provides a
processing surface that is flush with
the circulation counter. This type of
installation requires the customer to
cut a mounting hole in the circulation
counter. Once the hole is cut, the
customer uses the mounting brackets
to secure the workstation upper unit
to the counter.

On-counter Installation

An on-counter installation includes a
molded-plastic skirt that holds the
workstation upper unit. The skirt is
secured to the counter top with 3M
Command Adhesive strips.

The cable from the workstation
upper unit is routed out through the
back of the molded-plastic skirt. The
cable must go over the edge of the
counter or through the counter to the
electronics enclosure.

Figure 1 : You should be absolutely sure of the location before
attempting an in-counter installation.
