in the machine or its packaging with
household trash.
DISPOSING
MAGNETIC FIELDS MEASURED AROUND PERIMETER
The intimus 20000 S produces a single focused magnetic pulse lasting less than 1/20 of a second.
The focused intensity allows the unit to erase today’s highest coercivity media while also limiting the
magnetic field exposure to 1 second for every 20 pieces of media degaussed.

Duration of Field
10 cm (4”) 610 gauss 75 gauss 198 gauss < 0,05 Seconds
20 cm (8”) 191 gauss 36 gauss 77 gauss < 0,05 Seconds
30 cm (12”) 88 gauss 33 gauss 35 gauss < 0,05 Seconds
Note: The testing room measured 0.4 gauss before degausser was plugged in.
Average Operational Distance (AOD) from user to the degausser is 12-18 inches (30-45cm). According
to the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values
(2005) - Static Magnetic Fields, whole body exposure limits recommended for an 8 hour shift are
600 gauss. Because of the short duration of each pulse from an degausser (1/20
th
* of a second) and
the extremely small magnetic field outside of the unit (<49 gauss, AOD) the total 8 hour whole body
exposure is 0,008% of the recommended limit.
* Pulse duration was rounded to ½ second per discharge for calculations to cover any build up of magnetic fields
generated before or after discharge.
INTRODUCTION
The degausser Model intimus 20000 S is a con-
tinuous duty capacitive discharge degausser.
The unit is designed to erase hard drives and
tape cartridges that fit inside the drawer. The
convenient media loading design accommo-
dates many different types and sizes of media,
without the need for adapters.
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 cor -
rectly, notify carrier and contact your dealer im -
mediately.
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. As a general rule, media not inten-
ding to be erased should be kept about 60 cm
(2 ft) away.
Cooling
Forced air-cooling is used to maintain safe ope -
rating temperatures within the degausser. The
air intake and exhaust through the holesis are
located on the back panel. To ensure proper
cooling, do not block the air-intake and maintain
at least a 15 cm (6“) distance from the back of
the degausser to any obstacle.
The machine may not be operated by more than
one person at any given time!
The machine was designed for safe operation
by “one person only”.
Persons with pacemakers must not work at the
unit before having consulted their attending doc -
tor or physiotherapist! Danger of heart rhythm
disturbances due to stray magnetic fields!
During the degaussing process no other work
may be performed on the machine (for example
cleaning, etc.)!
In case of danger switch the machine off with
the mains switch, or with the emergency switch,
or unplug the unit!
The unit is not a toy, and is not suitable for use
by children!
The overall technical safety concept of this
machine does not provide for any guarantee
regarding hazard-free operation by children.
Always unplug the machine from the mains power
supply before opening the machine! Repairs
may only be performed by trained personnel!
