MAINTENANCE The DATAGONE Degausser contains extremely high electrical voltages and currents. For safety reasons, VS Security Products Ltd does not recommend that the covers be removed by anyone other than trained VS Security Products technicians. Cleaning the Input Optical Sensor The Input Sensor is an optical device that looks across the degauss chute to detect the media when it enters the unit.
Cleaning the Degauss Chute Media and hard drives that are dusty should be brushed off to remove loose dust and dirt before they are inserted into the Datagone. If the degauss chute becomes very dirty the drives may become stuck and not release after the degausser has fired.
Resetting the Circuit Breaker The DATAGONE Degasser is not equipped with any on-board fuses that require replacement. All the systems within the unit are protected by the circuit breaker which is located on the rear of the unit – this can be manually reset by the user.
