Degaussing Overview
The LCD Display (3) gives status, automatic
count, total count, software version, field
strength, user instructions and fault messages.
The following information appears on the LCD
Display (3) from power-up through one automatic
degaussing cycle:
Automatic Degaussing Technical Detail
1) The LCD displays “Insert Media Session =
0”.
2) The media to be degaussed is inserted into
the Media Drawer. While the drawer is open,
the LCD will display “Drawer Open”.
3) Sensors in the degausser detect the open /
closed status of the drawer.
When the ERASE Push Button (6) is
depressed to initiate the degaussing process,
the degausser will confirm when the drawer
is fully closed and the erase cycle will begin.
The LCD will display “Erase Cycle Initiated”
followed by “Charging >>>>>”
4) When the capacitors are fully charged, the
capacitors energy will be released into the
degaussing coil to create the erasing field.
5) To ensure complete erasure, each erase cycle
is measured to ensure the strength of the
erase field is sufficient for complete erasure
of data. In addition, the LCD will display a
Field Strength Graph “--------==I===” of the
actual erase field giving the operator real time
status of the degausser. The “ I” in the graph
represents the strength of the erase field. The
“=====” portion of the graph represents the
normal range for field strength level. The “I”
within the “--------=====” indicates the erase
field strength. The position of the “I” can vary
from cycle to cycle as it is based on the actual
field strength.
6) If the field is in the normal range, the LCD will
display “Data Eliminated”.
7) If the field is not in the normal range, the LCD
will display “Erase Failure”. In this case, the
media should be erased again. To clear the
“Erase Failure” message, power cycle the
degausser by pushing the POWER Push
Button (4) off, wait one minute and then press
the power back on. If another erase failure
happens, call Products Customer Support for
assistance.
8) When the LCD displays “Remove Media”.
Follow the steps to open the media drawer
and remove the degaussed media.
9) The degausser’s internal counter will advance
one count and display the total number of
media degaussed for the current session.
