8.2 

Cleaning the Output Optical Sensor 

The Output Sensor is an optical device that looks across the degauss chute to detect 
the  media  when  it  exits  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  ‘EJECT  ERROR  SENSOR  1 
JAMMED’ 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. 

 

8.3 

Cleaning the Degauss Chute 

Media and hard drives that are dusty should be brushed off to remove loose dust and 
dirt before they are inserted into the Datagone.   

If  the  degauss  chute  becomes  very  dirty  the  drives  may  become  stuck  and  not 
release  after  the  degausser  has  fired.  Under these circumstances the chute should 
be cleaned. 

Note: Before cleaning takes place the unit must be unplugged from the 
mains supply 

The  chute  should  be  cleaned  using  a  soft  cloth  or  paper  hand  towel.  If  the  dirt  is 
sticky then a small amount of a cleaning agent  such as Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can 
be used on the cloth or paper towel. A brush with a long handle can be used to clean 
the chute but care must be taken not to damage the plastic gate inside the chute that 
stops the Hard Drive.
