The Garner TS-1XT is a continuous-duty capacitive discharge degausser designed for the secure and complete erasure of data from hard drives and tape cartridges. This device is engineered to eliminate sensitive information by subjecting media to a powerful magnetic field, rendering the data irretrievable. Its primary function is to provide a reliable and efficient method for data elimination, ensuring compliance with data security protocols and preventing unauthorized access to discarded information.
The TS-1XT operates on the principle of capacitive discharge, generating a strong electromagnetic pulse that permanently erases data from magnetic media. The degaussing process is initiated and controlled through a user-friendly interface, primarily an LCD display and a media drawer. When media is placed inside the drawer and the drawer is closed, the device automatically begins a degaussing cycle. During this cycle, the capacitors charge to a predetermined power level, and then discharge, creating a magnetic field that neutralizes the magnetic domains on the media, effectively destroying all recorded data. The device is designed to handle various types of magnetic media, including laptop, standard, and network hard drives, as well as a wide range of tape media such as LTO, DLT, AIT, 2590 Series, and 8mm cartridges. The degausser provides visual feedback on its operational status, including charging progress, erasure status, and field strength, ensuring the user is informed throughout the process. Upon completion of a cycle, the device indicates that the media has been successfully erased and is ready for removal. The continuous duty cycle capability means the degausser can operate repeatedly without significant downtime, making it suitable for environments with high volumes of media to be processed.
The TS-1XT is designed for straightforward operation, emphasizing ease of use and clear communication of its status.
The TS-1XT is designed with minimal user-serviceable parts, emphasizing safety and requiring professional attention for most maintenance tasks.
