TS-1XT Operator Manual
INITIATION
Introduction
The Garner TS-1XT series are continuous duty capacitive
discharge degaussers. The units are designed to erase
hard drives and tape cartridges that fit inside the drawer.
Inspection
Inspect the degausser for shipping damage as soon as
it is unpacked. If the degausser or any accessories are
damaged or fail to operate correctly, notify carrier and
contact your dealer immediately.
INSTALLATION
Power Plug
Plug the IEC connector attached to the power cord supplied
into the receptacle on the back of the unit.
Location
The degausser must be placed on a flat, hard surface.
Keep at least a 15 cm (6 inch) distance from any object
that may interfere with the coo ling fan exhaust located on
the backside of the degausser.
Cooling
Forced air-cooling is used to maintain safe ope rating
temperatures within the degausser. To ensure proper
cooling, do not block the air-intake and maintain at least a
15 cm (6 in.) distance from the back of the degausser to
any obstacle.
LCD DISPLAY ERROR CODES
Charge Error
The LCD displays "Charge Error". This error indicates that
the degausser failed to charge to the determined power
level necessary to successfully erase the media in the
degaussing chamber.
Action: Turn off the degausser for one minute and restart.
(Turning off the power to the degausser will clear the error.)
If error persists, call customer support.
Gauss Error
The LCD displays "Gauss Error". This error indicates the
erasing field may not have been adequate to effectively
erase the media in the degaussing chamber.
Action: Turn off the degausser for approximately one
minute. Turning 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.
