The TS-1 Data EliminatorTM, an NSA Evaluated Products List High Security Degausser, uses proven solid-state technology to provide a 20,000 gauss erasing field ensuring com- plete hard drive and tape erasure of classified and "Top Secret" data in 45 seconds.
With a built-in magnetic field verification system along with onboard diagnostics, The TS-1 confirms the field strength of each and every erase cycle guaranteeing complete erasure every time. Further, the field strength is displayed numerically and graphically allow- ing the operator to perform periodic performance verification elim- inating the need for a separate instrument to check the erasing force. Redundant error checking before, during and after each erase cycle ensures the TS-1 is performing in peak condition.
Eliminate the risk of information loss of Top Secret data during media transportation. Take the TS-1 degausser directly to the location of your media. The TS-1 has two custom ma- chined retractable alloy handles built into each side of the unit for easy lifting. An optional custom wheeled transport case (Case-TS1)
is available to get the TS-1 from location-to- location safely and securely.

TS-1 Features and Capabilities:
The TS-1 is the newest and most innovative product in the Garner line of degaussers. With 2 Tesla (20,000 gauss) of power, the TS-1 erases the highest coercivity magnetic media available today. The TS-1 erases 5,000 Oe hard drives (laptop, desktop and network up to 1" high) and up to 2,800 Oe high coercivity tape media, including all formats of LTO (1,2,3,4), SuperDLT I & II, DLT, AIT, 3590 Series, 8mm and more, all without any adapters. With a continuous duty rat- ing (no cooling breaks necessary), quiet operation and a 45 second cycle time, the TS-1 offers a fast, cost effective erasing solution for Top Secret data.
TS-1 Operations:
The TS-1 is exceptionally user-friendly. Simply place your media into the drawer of the TS-1 and push the "Erase" button. Within 45 seconds, the media is erased. Open the drawer and remove the media. It just doesn’t get any easier than that!
Safeguards:
Safeguards built into the TS-1 check the stored power before each erase cycle ensuring complete erasure every time. In addition, a proprietary gauss sensor measures the erasing force in the coil at the time of discharge. If the electrical power or the erasing force is less than specification, the TS-1 will report an error message to the operator and not complete the cycle until the TS-1 meets both power and erasing force requirements. Messages on the LCD Display and lighted push buttons report the status of the TS-1 to the operator.
Government Mandates:
As an NSA approved degausser, the TS-1 has been tested to and exceeded the most stringent requirements for complete erasure of magnetic media at the high- est security levels including Top Secret. This approval meets all compliance standards for government man- dates requiring complete elimination of information stored on magnetic media prior to re-use or disposal including:
- NSA/CSS/DoD Top Secret
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization
- NIST SP 800-36
- NIST SP 800-88
- PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
- HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
- PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
- GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
- California Senate Bill 1386
