(EMP1000-HS) or 15,500 (EMP1000). The EMP1000/EMP1000-HS is capable of running at input voltages of 120V or 240V AC at either 50 or 60Hz. There are no required changes to switch from one voltage to the other. Just plug in the correct power cord for your country.
1.3 Installing the Unit The SEM EMP1000/EMP1000-HS pulse degausser was designed to have a small footprint so that it can fit onto a countertop or into an area where space is limited. See dimensioned diagram below for space requirements. Please note the following: •...
The power switch will illuminate when powered on. The touch screen display will illuminate and the product splash screen should appear with the SEM EMP1000/EMP1000-HS product name on a white background. This screen will be displayed for several seconds.

The display will now be in the standby screen. The standby screen is displayed when the unit is first turned on or when any error or failure is encountered. When in this mode, there is no charging of the unit’s capacitors and the CONTINUE button is always displayed. The triangle icon is the charge indicator and indicates the level of charge stored in the unit’s capacitors.
2.2 Executing a Degauss Cycle Press OPEN DOOR to release the media tray. The media tray is now accessible and the media needing to be erased can now be installed. The START button is disallowed when the door is open. 508.366.1488 | www.semshred.com...

Close the door manually by pushing in the tray until it locks in place. Press the START button to begin the degauss cycle AFTER the door has been closed. It will be disallowed if the door is not closed. The START button may be pressed at any time after the door is closed, regardless of the charge level.

The magnetic field strength indicator is displayed in the upper middle portion of the screen. This displays the actual measured strength of the magnetic field produced during the cycle and grades the value PASS or FAIL. Shown above is a model EMP1000, where 1.53 Tesla is results as a PASS.
The unit is thermally designed to operate "cool." In any degausser, the maximum demagnetizing field produced will drop as temperature rises. The EMP1000/EMP1000-HS is designed with internal heat sinks, optimized routing of air flow, and cooling fans. Under normal operation, the fans are not required and will not run.
4.) Operating Safety WARNING HIGH RISK OF SHOCK COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF DISASSEMBLED. Never attempt to remove the cover, rear panel or disassemble the unit in any way as you could be exposed to a high level shock. WARNING MAGNETIC FIELD PRESENT.
