IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

No operator-serviceable parts inside
unit. Maintenance to be done only by
trained personnel.

High Voltage exists inside unit even
when equipment is not under power.
All trouble shooting and wiring checks
must be performed by a qualified
electrician or authorized plant
personnel.

Unplug power cord from the wall to
disconnect power to the system.

Disconnect main power and unplug
unit from the wall before installing
or removing device or servicing
equipment.

PACE MAKER USERS

Due to stray magnetic fields, consult
your physician before operating.

A non-shielded power cord may
be used to connect AC power to
the system. Use only power cords
approved by Garner Products.

For continued protection against risk of
fire, replace fuses with fuses of same
types and ratings only.

Airflow is important. Do not cover
chassis ventilation slots or block
enclosure openings.

Check input voltage selection; if not
compatible with wall voltage, have
technician qualified by Garner Products
modify wiring inside this system before
connecting system plug to wall voltage.

INITIATION

Introduction

The Garner HD-3WXL degausser is a conti nuous duty
capacitive discharge degausser. The unit is designed to
erase hard drives and tape cartridges that fit within the
opening of the Media Entrance Door. The convenient
media loading design accommodates many different types
and sizes of media, without the need for adapters.

Each erase cycle is measured and verified by internal
diagnostics thus eliminating the possibil ity of a non­erasure. For security purposes, if an insufficient field is
detected, the HD-3WXL will not release the media.

Inspection

Inspect the degausser for shipping damage as soon as
it is unpacked. If the degausser or any accessories are
damaged or fail to operate correctly, notify carrier and
contact your dealer immediately

INSTALLATION

Power Plug

Plug the IEC connector attached to the supplied power cord
into the receptacle on the back of the unit.

Location

The degausser must be placed on a flat, hard surface.
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. As a general rule, media
not inten ding to be erased should be kept about 60 cm
(2 ft) away.

Cooling

Forced air-cooling is used to maintain safe ope rating
temperatures within the degausser. The air intake is
located on the back panel and the exhaust is through the
holes in the top panel. 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.

DEGAUSSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DLT MEDIA

Remove the plastic protective cases.

Although the data is completely degaussed in one
operation, a second pass rotated at 90 degrees is required
to smooth out any magnetic fluctuation.

Note: If the second pass is not completed, the tape
drive may eject the tape from the tape drive and
indicate that the tape needs cleaning. The second pass
at 90 degrees will correct this condition. If you have
any questions, please contact your dealer.

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.

Note: The media will stay in the degaussing chamber until a successful erase
sequence has been completed.

Action: Turn off the degausser for one minute and restart. (Turning off the
power to the degausser will clear the error.) To initiate the degauss cycle with
media already in the degaussing chamber, push the Media Entrance Door
open and let it close. The media in the degaussing chamber will be erased
and only released with a successful degauss. 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.

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. Media will not be ejected.

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 degaussing
chamber, push the Media Entrance Door open and let it close. The media in
the degaussing chamber will be erased and only released with a successful
degauss. If error persists, call customer support.

HD-3WXL SERIES Operation Manual

Door Open Error

The LCD displays “Door Open”. This error indicates that the Media Entrance
Door is not completely closed. The degausser checks to see if the Media
Entrance Door is closed just before the media is to be erased.

Once the door is closed, the degausser will automatically continue the erase
function.

Action: Check Media Entrance Door for obstructions.

Overheat Error

The 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.

EJECTING MEDIA AFTER AN ERROR

To retrieve media that has remained in the degaussing chamber due to an error:

Step 1: Press the POWER button to the off (|) position.

Step 2: Press the POWER button to the on (0) position.

Step 3: Manually open the door of the degaussing chamber.

Step 4: The HD-3WXL will complete a degauss cycle and release the media.

Step 5: If the media does not release, call Garner for technical support.

DISPOSAL

Disposing of the machine:

Dispose of the machine in an environmentally sound fashion
at the end of its useful service life. Do not dispose of any of
