Greatest
Efficiency
The HD-1T accepts a wide range of magnetic media formats due to its large chamber size (1 inch high by 4.3 inches wide by 7.3 inches deep), further reducing the amount of time and labor resources associated with degaussing media.

The HD-1T is NSA approved for degaussing multiple tape formats or hard disk drives per cycle.
The HD-1T Top 10 List
is approved by the NSA to erase 5000 Oe. disk media and 2800 Oe. tape media as listed
in the DEPL. No other degausser is listed in the DEPL as being capable of erasing
higher coercivity media.
2. Strongest magnetic fi elds in a degausser. The HD-1T degausser’s superior fi eld strength
will support the erasure of new high coercivity media farther into the future than any other
degausser. The HD-1T generates 14,000 Gauss (1.4 Tesla) magnetic fi elds. Sci en tifi c testing
confi rms the HD-1T erases 5000 Oe. disk media and 2800 Oe. tape media at 45% of it’s
potential fi eld strength.
3 Compact and mobile design. The compact footprint (30” wide x 28.5” deep) re quires
minimal fl oor space in an offi ce or data center. The wheels, paired with the com pact de sign,
provide effortless movement into a storage closet or an oth er offi ce. The de gauss ing
chamber is positioned for any operator; no adjustments are necessary.
4. Electromagnetic technology. The HD-1T electromagnet degausser has an unlimited shelf life;
the HD-1T can be used as long as customers have the media to degauss. The capacitive
discharge design generates no heat, continuous duty, zero down time, no magnet degradation,
and requires no technical upgrades.
5. Simple, easy, quiet operation. The HD-1T is easy to load and does not require adapters.
The LED display provides simple operator instructions: Open door, insert me dia, shut door,
press “START.” Degaussing occurs in 1 second, indicator light confirms secure erasure.
6. Degauss multiple tapes per cycle. The HD-1T chamber can accommodate up to 10 tapes,
allowing customers to get more done in less time.
7. Negligible magnetic fi eld exposure. The magnetic fi eld experienced around the
HD-1T is less than the earth’s magnetic field.
8. Manufactured in the USA. Data Security Inc. has been manufacturing degaussers
in the Heart land since 1985. Let our experience and knowledge work for you. Buy American
and Americans work.
9. World wide on-site service and toll free phone support. Depot level and on-site service
is avail able for quick and easy support; our customers experience less down time.
10. Certifi cation process ensures secure erasure. According to the NSA DEPL, “Moreover,
though listed in the DEPL, customers that acquire these products should have them re-tested
twice a year for the fi rst two years, then once a year thereafter.” This test ensures the
degaussers con tin ue to work properly.
