Remove the plastic protective cases. Simply fol-
low the degaussing instructions above for com-
plete erasure.

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.

MALFUNCTIONS
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.
Note: The media will stay in the degaussing
chamber until a successful erase sequence has
been completed.
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. Media will not be ejected.
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 degaussing chamber, push the
Media Entrance Door open and let it close. The
media in the degaussing chamber will be erased
and only released with a successful degauss.
has finished. If error persists, call customer
support.
Door Open Error
The LCD displays “Door Open”. This error
indicates that the Media Entrance Door is not
completely closed. The degausser checks to see
if the Media Entrance Door is closed just before
the media is to be erased.
Once the door is closed, the degausser will
automatically continue the erase function.
Action: Check Media Entrance Door for
obstructions.
Overheat Error
The 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.
EJECTING MEDIA AFTER AN ERROR
To retrieve media that has remained in the
degaussing chamber due to an error:
Step 1: Turn the degausser OFF.
Step 2: Turn the degausser ON. (by pressing
the POWER button).
