Operating Instructions
8. 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.
8.1 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. If the media is dusty or the unit is used in a dusty
environment the sensor can become contaminated and not see the media. This will
result in the unit exhibiting a fault and the message ‘START UP ERROR EXIT
SENSOR TRUE’ being displayed on the LCD.
The sensor is recessed 5mm (0.2”) so a small brush will be required to clean it. A
tooth brush is an ideal for this purpose. Press the brush over the hole so some of the
bristles go through the hole shown above and clean the sensor. The other half of the
sensor is on the side of the chute directly opposite the one shown in the Photograph
above and should be cleaned in the same way.
