The Smart Bin Returns System is a unique multiple-item return solution. Items dropped into
the bin are automatically checked-in and their sorting condition stored locally. The Smart Bin
should be installed where there is currently a Sort Assistant. When the item is subsequently
placed on the Sort Assistant pad, the system advises the user what to do with the item (for
example, shelve, on hold for a patron, return to another library and so on). Please refer to the
Sort Assistant Architect Pack for further information on this product.
Detection zones
The following minimum requirements must be met to ensure optimal performance. The
antenna can detect items in the bin, as well as above the bin to 300mm, and all around the bin
up to 400mm. The bin will automatically check in items in this region.
It is important to make sure that items that should not be processed by the bin are not
inadvertently brought into the detection zone, so libraries should be mindful of installing the
unit close to thin walls, for example.
Exclusion zones
•
Exclusion zone 1 (250 mm): in this zone there should be no metal beams, frames or
studs (this includes metal studs inside dry walls, windows or doors with metal frames,

metal framed shelving, large picture frames, counter edges, wastebaskets and
furniture).
NOTE: An integrated RFID secure external return chute can be installed within the exclusion
zone provided it is installed in accordance with its Architect pack.
• Exclusion zone 2 (500 mm): in this zone there should be no large metal objects
(windows or doors with metal panels, display cases, shelves, cabinets, planters,
wastebaskets or furniture), structures that form an electrically conductive loop, such as a
metal counter edge and metal picture frames, any RFID equipment that reads or
programs RFID tags, such as Sort Assistant pad readers, Circulation Assistant pad
readers, RFID conversion stations, RFID enabled single book return chutes and Self Loan
Stations or other large electronic equipment, such as printers, fax machines and CRT
monitors or workstations, computer systems, photocopy machines, printers and other
office equipment.
• Exclusion zone 3 (4 – 5 m): in this zone there should be no other high power RFID tag
reading/detection systems, such as another Smart Bin or security gate system.
NOTE: In some instances, additional RF shielding panels may be required, depending on the
environment of the library. If these panels are required, additional cost will be incurred. Typical
additional cost to fit RF panels is 8 to 10 hrs of labour plus travel.
Two Smart Bins may be installed close together. However, they need to be synchronised
together. This means that the two bins will act as one combined unit.

Wall exclusion zone
The wall close to the bin must be free of metal frames and studs in the exclusion area shown in
pink in the image below.

Physical dimensions and installation
1100mm
750mm
The standard bin is 1100mm wide by 750mm deep and 900mm high. Its ideal position is with
its long edge against the wall, with the chute at a central position. A workbench with its top at
900mm, butted against the short edge, will form an ideal returns processing station, with the
Sort Assistant located on the workbench with the RFID pad, about 500 mm to a metre away
from the bin.

System specifications
Compliance with the following specifications will help ensure that the system performs as
designed.
Power point
The electronic bin requires a surge- and noise-free electrical power connection with a suitable
isolator switch. Power entry is via an entry hole on the right or the left side of the bin.
Power input: 240 V AC 50/60 Hz, 2.5 A max.
Power usage under full load: 210W (28W on standby)
The power cable is 1600mm.
Network connection
A network connection is required for the Smart Bin, which also uses a static IP address. The
network cable connects to the bin on the same side as the power connection.
The Sort Station requires a network, but does not need a static IP address.
The total wire-run length of network cable must not exceed the 100m maximum imposed by
the Ethernet standard.
The network cord is 2300mm.
Environmental specifications
Operating/storage temperature: 0° C to 50° C.
Operating/storage humidity: 0% to 85 % (relative humidity, non-condensing).
Installation requirements
All exclusion zones (as described elsewhere in this document) must be maintained.
Clearances
If a processing table is placed close to the bin, it should not have any metal edges or frames
that form a closed loop. Any such closed loop needs to be cut with a gap of at least 5mm. The
servicing of the electronic components of the bin is done via the front service panel and should
be easily accessible.

Document Issue No. 2
Levelling
The floor in the area of the bin’s footprint must be level.
System layout considerations
To facilitate installation and system maintenance, clearance around the system must be at
least 500mm from immovable object.
Installation responsibilities
The library’s responsibilities
The library is responsible for the following provisions:
Installing space
The library is responsible for constructing a suitable space for installation, as well as for
receiving and locating the bin to within 3m of the installation site.
Electrical connection
Approved electrical wiring, fuse boxes, junction boxes, AC electrical outlets or conduits,
connection bushings and associated wiring required to provide noise-free, reliable electrical
power to the system (as specified in the power specifications section) must be installed in
compliance with applicable building and electrical codes.
Network connection
A Cat5e or better network connection (as specified in the network connection specifications
section) must be installed in compliance with applicable building and electrical codes.
FE Technologies’ responsibilities
The FE Technologies’ RFID technician is responsible for the following provisions.

Installing the chute
FE Technologies is responsible for connecting the Smart Bin, installing the RFID components
and all inter-connections, commissioning the system, including any tuning of the RFID system,
as well as programming the system to work with the library’s RFID tags.
