INITIATION

I

ntroduction

The Garner TS-1XT series are continuous duty capacitive 

discharge degaussers. The units are designed to erase 

hard drives and tape cartridges that fit inside the drawer. 

Inspection

it is unpacked. If the degausser or any accessories are 

damaged or fail to operate correctly, notify carrier and 

contact your dealer immediately.

Keep at least a 15 cm (6 inch) distance from any object 

that may interfere with the coo ling fan exhaust located on 

the backside of the degausser. 

Cooling

Forced air-cooling is used to maintain safe ope rating 

temperatures within the degausser. To ensure proper 

cooling, do not block the air-intake and maintain at least a 

15 cm (6 in.) distance from the back of the degausser to 

any obstacle.

LCD DISPLAY ERROR CODES

Charge Error
The LCD 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 error persists, call customer support.
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 degausser 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.
Media 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.
