If you require to erase a range of magnetic media including high density metal tapes and cassettes then the Verity Systems SV91M tape eraser is up to the job. The SV91M is quick too, taking as little as ten seconds to completely erase a cassette.
It is simple to use and its compact table top operation provides a thoroughly effective and low cost means to degauss Betacam SP, D2, Mll, DAT, 8mm and other high coercivity tapes. The SV91M degausser is a compact, low noise, manually operated tape eraser that sits neatly on a table top and has been designed very much with Security operations in mind as its powerful degaussing fields can erase even metal particle tape.
The SV91M degausser is ideal for the security conscious, low volume operator who wants to have a professional low budget solution to eliminate magnetic media security risks.
Government Approved
The Verity SV91M security degausser is UK government approved to the CESG Degaussing Standard.
This new Standard, which replaces the SEAP 8500 Degaussing Standard has two levels of degaussing:
● Lower Level - for RESTRICTED and below
● Higher Level - for CONFIDENTIAL and above
Currently the SV91M is approved at the Lower Level. This means any magnetic media (holding RESTRICTED or less) may be regarded as NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED after being degaussed.
The SV91M degausser is subject to S(E)N 06/09. which requires all the SEAP-approved degaussers to be retested against the new CESG Degaussing Standard (at the Higher Level). At this time, the testing standard is not yet available.
The SV91M may still be used to degauss magnetic media at CONFIDENTIAL and above, but the degaussed media is subject to additional handling requirements (detailed in S(E)N 06/09).
