4.3 Erasure of DLT Tapes & Other Cassettes/Cartridges

 

 

 

 

The media to be erased should be held away from the degausser whilst it is switched on. When switched on the degauss 

indicator will also illuminate.

 

 

 

The media to be erased should be bought slowly towards the degaussers top surface. Place the media on the top surface on 

either the left or right hand side, then, in a slow and deliberate movement, taking approximately 3 seconds to traverse the top 

face. You will feel the pull of the magnetic force as it passes through the centre.

 

 

 

Cassettes and cartridges must be turned through 90 degrees and a second pass made, the media must be turned over and 

the process repeated, making a total of four passes to ensure complete erasure.

 

 

 

4.4 Erasure of Reels and Pancakes

 

 

 

 

The  media  in  reel  or  pancake  form  to  be  erased  should  be  brought  slowly  towards  the  top  surface.  The  media  should  be 

placed  on  the  surface  and  rotated  slowly  and  evenly  taking  approximately  five  seconds  to  complete  a  revolution.  Then 

remove the media slowly from the degausser before switching off. Reels with tape wider than 

1/2” 

should be turned over then 

subject to a second rotation.

 

 

 

It  is  recommended  that  the  degausser  is  switched  off  between  media  erasure  as  this  will  reduce  the  internal  heating  and 

increase the operation time.
