MAGNETIC FIELDS
<< 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”.
<< During the degaussing process no other
work may be performed on the machine
(for example cleaning, etc.)!
<< The unti 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.
<< Persons with pacemakers must not work
at the unit before having consulted their at-
tending doctor or physiotherapist! Danger
of heart rhythm disturbances due to stray
magnetic fields!
<< In case of danger switch the machine off
with the mains switch, or with the emer-
gency switch, or unplug the unit!
<< Always unplug the machine from the mains
power supply before opening the machine!
Repairs may only be performed by trained
personnel!

DISPOSING
MAGNETIC FIELDS MEASURED AROUND PERIMETER
The intimus 20000 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.
Distance from Magnetic field Magnetic field Duration of Field
degausser front side side
0 cm (0”) 1320 gauss 68 gauss < 0,05 Second
10 cm (4”) 440 gauss 22 gauss < 0,05 Second
20 cm (8”) 145 gauss 8 gauss < 0,05 Second
30 cm (12”) 49 gauss 3 gauss < 0,05 Second
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 is a conti-
nuous duty capacitive discharge degausser. The
unit is designed to erase hard drives and tape
cartridges that fit inside the drawer. The conveni-
ent media loading design accommodates 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.
Fuse Block
Always unplug the unit from the mains
power supply before opening the
machine! Changes in power supply
may only be performed by trained
personnel!
Located behind the removable panel on the front
side of the unit, there are six separate fuses, one
each for 100, 110, 120, 220, 230 & 240 VAC po-
wer. Only one fuse is used at a time. Therefore,
for any voltage range, the two unused fuses of
the same value can be used as spares.
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.
