Operation and technical parameters

Operation
ASM120 degausser is intended for erasing data from the majority of magnetic
storage media available on the market with the dimensions that enable to fit
them inside the device drawer. A disk is simply put in a drawer which enables
deleting data from different types of media, and from media with different
dimensions. There is no need to use extra connectors or adapters.
Strong magnetic pulse generated by the device causes physical change in
the ferromagnetic layer of a medium and transforms it into a paramagnetic.
This results in an irreversible loss of data and makes the medium unusable
(no data can be stored again – does not apply to some types of tapes: DAT,
DLT). Device should be used only with it's purpose.
