HD-2 SERIES Operation Manual
LCD DISPLAY ERROR CODES
Charge Error:
The LCD screen displays “Charge Error”. This error indicates that the
degausser failed to charge to the determined power level necessary to
successfully erase the media in the degaussing chamber.
Action:
Turn off the degausser for one minute and restart. (Turning off the power
to the degausser will clear the error.) If the error repeats, have the power
mains checked and also check the degausser to make sure the power
setting is set to match the power mains. If error persists, call customer
support.
Drawer Open Error:
The LCD displays “Drawer Open”. This error indicates that the Media
Drawer is not completely closed. The degausser continuously checks to
see if the Media Drawer is closed. If the drawer is not closed, the “Drawer
Open” will persist on the LCD. Once the drawer is closed, the degausser will
automatically continue the erase function.
Action:
Check to see that drawer is seated in detent.
Gauss Error:
The LCD displays “Gauss Error”. This error indicates the erasing field may
not have been adequate to effectively erase the media in the degaussing
chamber.
Action:
Turn off the degausser for approximately one minute. Turning off the power
to the HD-2X and HD-2SS will clear the error. Turn the degausser back on.
To initiate the degauss cycle with media already in the media drawer, open
the media drawer and close it. The media in the degaussing chamber will be
erased if the field is sufficient otherwise the “Gauss Error” will persist on the
LCD screen. If error persists, call customer support.
Overheat Error:
LCD displays “Overheat”. This error indicates the internal temperature has
risen to a level that may be harmful to the degausser.
Action:
When the degausser indicates an overheat error, it will inhibit any further
operation until the degausser returns to an acceptable temperature. Leave
the degausser powered on as the chassis fan will help reduce the heat
inside the degausser. When the temperature is low enough, the degausser
will return to normal operation. If this error persists, call customer support.
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Magnetic Fields Measured Around Perimeter
The
HD-2X
and
HD-2SS
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.

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 (300-450 mm). 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 a degausser (1/20
th
* of a second) and the
extremely small magnetic field outside of the unit (<19 gauss, AOD) the
total 8 hour whole body exposure is 1/120th 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.
