1.) Before Use
Congratulations on your purchase of your SEM EMP1000/EMP1000-HS pulse degausser. This is a highly
capable and robust degausser that produces a maximum demagnetizing field (coercive force) of 20,000 gauss
(EMP1000-HS) or 15,500 (EMP1000).
The EMP1000/EMP1000-HS is capable of running at input voltages of 120V or 240V AC at either 50 or 60Hz.
There are no required changes to switch from one voltage to the other. Just plug in the correct power cord for
your country.
The SEM Model EMP1000-HS can be ordered with CE marking, which complies with
standard EN61010-1: 2010 (Third Edition).
Note: Always remember that any type of degausser/demagnetizer by itself is entirely ineffective at erasing
solid state memory or optical storage media. It is only effective for the erasure of magnetic media (i.e. hard
disk drives, magnetically recorded tapes, magnetic strips on credit cards, hotel passes, floppy disks, Zip and Jaz
disks, etc.).
