the media into the aperture on one side of the unit and wait for the media to exit the aperture on the
opposing side of the degausser. The powerful degaussing magnetic field is automatically activated by internal sensors
detecting the presence of media which, when the degauss field has decayed, is then released to exit the degausser. The
entire process takes just 8 seconds. The processor controlled DATAGONE LG PLUS continuously monitors the operation
ensuring that the erasure cycle is completed. The operator is immediately alerted to any interruptions in the erasure cycle on
the LCD control panel.
After degaussing hard drives should not be reused as they are stressed in the erasure process and parts can be damaged.
Backup tapes cannot be used after erasure as the control track may be erased in the degaussing process
Control Panel
The DATAGONE LG PLUS degausser has been carefully engineered for convenience and simplicity of operation. As such an
LCD and push button are all that is required. The features provided are outlined below:
Power Indicator
The LCD is used as a power indicator and will illuminate whenever power is applied. The power switch is part of the IEC
power connector module mounted on the rear panel.
Reset Button
Once you have placed media in the unit the degauss cycle will automatically start. If the degauss cycle is interrupted and the
media fails to eject the reset button should be used to eject the media and reset the degauss cycle. The user should then
attempt a repeat erasure. The LCD panel will display the progress, completion of the cycle and total number of degauss
cycles completed.
If the LCD repeatedly indicates a failure you should contact your nearest VS Security Products support department for further
assistance.
