SECTION 4: OPERATION
Connect the equipment to the mains supply. A Fan is provided for forced air cooling. It is thermally controlled and therefore
switches on and off as required.
4.1 To Erase Tape on Reels
To operate the degausser, open the drawer by pulling up on the latch and remove the reel hub clamp by rotating it
anticlockwise. Place the reel onto the turntable and replace and tighten the reel clamp by rotating it clockwise. Close the
drawer and push it firmly shut. Press the red power button which will latch in and illuminate, then press the Degauss button
and hold for approximately one second. The button will illuminate and the degauss sequence will commence. When the tape
is fully degaussed the degauss light will extinguish and the drawer may be opened and the reel removed. Further reels may
be degaussed by simply repeating the sequence. At the completion of degaussing, switch off the equipment by pressing the
red power button to unlatch it. If at any time during the erasure cycle the drawer becomes unlatched, a fail safe mechanism
will automatically inhibit the cycle. If this occurs simply re
-
latch the drawer and press the degauss button to restart the cycle.
4.2 To Erase Cassettes and Cartridges
With the addition of specific cassette carriers a wide range of cassettes may be erased in the standard SV90. The cassette
carriers vary only in size, therefore the method of adaptation and operation is identical in each case.
Caution: Do not used damaged cassette carriers in the Degausser
4.2.1 Cassette Carrier Fitting Procedure
•
Slide open the drawer.
•
Remove the standard NAB hub clamping ring from the turntable.
•
Lower the cassette carrier onto the turntable, turn the knurled nut ensuring it engages the thread on the fixing stud.
•
Tighten the nut making sure that the 'U' section of the carrier correctly locates on the turntable.
4.2.2 Cassette Erasure Procedure
The cassette carriages carry either 2 or 4 cassettes. Locate one end of the cassette in the carriage and pull the spring latch at
the other end to allow the cassette to enter. The cassette should be placed the correct way up, i.e. with the cassette window
uppermost.
Ensure that the spring latch is correctly positioned on the cassette ensuring it is constrained from any movement. Close the
drawer and push it firmly shut. Degaussing of the cassette is then carried out using the standard procedure.
SECTION 5: SERVICING
The equipment is protected by two fuses which are located at the rear of the unit, as detailed below:
To replace either fuse rotate the cap in an anticlockwise direction and remove cap and fuse. Renew fuse and replace cap into
holder and tighten in a clockwise direction.
In the event of any failure not being resolved by replacement of the fuses the unit should be returned to

for repair.
Any repair work other than that stated above which involves the removal of the equipment
cover will render the warranty null and void.
