CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Media Drawer (1)
The Media Drawer holds the media to be
degaussed and activates and deactivates the
degaussing cycle when in the closed and open
positions.
Control Panel (2)
The Control Panel consists of two active push
buttons with integrated Indicator Lamps (4, 6)
and one separately Indicator Lamp (5).
LCD Display (3)
The LCD display gives status, automatic count,
total count, software version, field strength, user
instructions and fault messages.
Charge Error
“Charge Error” is displayed on the LCD
screen. This error indicates that the degausser
failed to charge to the determined power level
necessary to successfully erase the media in the
degaussing chamber.
Action: Turn off the degausser for one minute and
restart. (Turning off the power to the degausser
will clear the error.) If the error repeats, have
the power mains checked and also check the
degausser to make sure the power setting is set
to match the power mains. If error persists, call
customer support.
Gauss Error
The LCD displays “Gauss Error”. This error
indicates the erasing field may not have been
adequate to effectively erase the media in the
degaussing chamber.
Action: Turn off the degausser for approximately
one minute. Turning off the power to the degausser
will clear the error. Turn the degausser back on.
To initiate the degauss cycle with media already
in the media drawer, open the media drawer and
close it. The media in the degaussing chamber
will be erased if the field is sufficient otherwise
the “Gauss Error” will persist on the LCD screen.
If error persists, call customer support.
Media Drawer Open Error
The LCD displays “Drawer Open”. This error
indicates that the Media Drawer is not completely
closed. The degausser continuously checks to
see if the Media Drawer is closed. If the drawer is
not closed, the “Drawer Open” will persist on the
LCD. Once the drawer is closed, the degausser
will automatically continue the erase function.
Action: Check to see that drawer is seated in
detent.
Overheat Error
LCD displays “Overheat”. This error indicates
the internal temperature has risen to a level that
may be harmful to the degausser.
Action: When the degausser indicates an
overheat error, it will inhibit any further operation
until the degausser returns to an acceptable
temperature. Leave the degausser powered
on as the chassis fan will help reduce the heat
inside the degausser. When the temperature is
low enough, the degausser will return to normal
operation. If this error persists, call customer
support.

Degaussing Instructions for DLT Media.
Remove the plastic protective cases. Simply fol-
low the degaussing instructions above for com-
plete erasure.
Note: For DLT media that is to be re-used.
Although the data is completely degaussed in
one operation, a second pass rotated at 90 de-
grees is required to smooth out any magnetic
fluctuation.
Note: If the second pass is not completed, the
tape drive may eject the tape from the tape drive
and indicate that the tape needs cleaning. The
second pass at 90 degrees will correct this con-
dition. If you have any questions, please contact
your dealer.
