MALFUNCTIONS
Action: Turn off the degausser for approximately
one minute. T urning 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 media drawer, open the media drawer and
close it. The media in the degaussing chamber
will be erased if the field is sufficient otherwise
the "Gauss Error" will persist on the LCD screen.
If error persists, call customer support.
Media Drawer Open Error
The LCD displays "Drawer Open". This
error indicates that the Media Drawer is not
completely closed. The degausser continuously
checks to see if the Media Drawer is closed. If
the drawer is not closed, the "Drawer Open" will
persist on the LCD. Once the drawer is closed,
the degausser will automatically continue the
erase function.
Action: Check to see that drawer is seated in
detent.

Overheat Error
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.
