N1 - Funding Information:
It is a pleasure to acknowledge our hosts at Morton International's Fairport Mine, who have always gone out of their way to accommodate the unusual needs and schedules of our group. Also worthy of special praise are the on-site technicians who have operated and maintained the detector these ten years: Joe Reese, Ted Darden, Robert Render, Cheryl Gleason Mailan-der, John Hise, and Joe Bastulli . We also wish to thank Karl Luttrell for reliable technical support over the lifetime of the experiment. This work was supported in part by the United States Department of Energy .

N2 - The IMB experiment, a large water Cherenkov detector which began data collection in September 1982, has undergone several upgrades to improve light collection, on-line processing power, data throughput and buffering, calibration, and operating efficiency. The current device, known as IMB-3, enjoys a factor of four light collection advantage over its precursor. Since May 1986, it has been used to search for such diverse phenomena as nucleon decay, dark matter, neutrino oscillation, and magnetic monopoles, and to study stellar collapse and cosmic rays. Due to its large size and long exposure time IMB presents unique challenges. The design and operation of the IMB-3 detector are described in detail.
