Product Information

The Datagauss LG Max is the most powerful, compact, continuous degausser for hard drives and backup tapes in the Verity Systems product range. Media that can be securely erased includes both hard drives that use perpendicular and longitudinal recording techniques, including 5000 Oersteds and all common backup tapes.

The erasure log software records all operating and degaussing information, which can be saved and printed, giving hard copy evidence of complete erasure for reporting and auditing purposes. Media erased is identified with automatically printed self adhesive labels with degaussed details, including media serial numbers.

Extended Warranty

The DataGauss LG MAX has been designed with simplicity in mind. Releasing the catch lifts the lid, allowing media to be placed into the chamber. Closing the lid and pressing the ‘erase’ button on the control panel activates the charging of the powerful degaussing magnetic field. When the display says the degauss cycle is complete, the lid can be opened and the media removed. The entire process takes just 15 seconds.

Throughout the whole erase cycle the on-board processor monitors the erase procedure ensuring that it is completed correctly. The operator is shown erase progress and immediately alerted to any interruptions in the cycle by messages on the LCD control panel.

Barcode Scanner: The barcode scanner accessory allows you to scan the serial and part numbers from media, allowing you to speed up the data entry process.

Label Printer: The Label printer accessory automatically prints labels that can be stuck on the processed media giving details and confirming secure erasure.

Verity Systems DD Imager: Our scanning device seamlessly integrates with the Data Destruction Auditing software, facilitating the capture of high-definition images of media both before and after the erasure process. Click here for the Verity Systems DD Imager Datasheet.

Transportation Case: An optional heavy-duty transportation case with wheels is available for the DataGauss LG MAX, enabling you to safely transfer your degausser by road or air, ideal if you have a requirement to erase media at multiple locations. Click here for more information.

The DataGauss LG MAX comes with a 24 month back to base warranty – all parts and labor included. Extended warranties are also available.

We are so confident in our product build quality, that whether you opt for an extended warranty or not, our factory-based technical support team are available for free phone and email support. This support extends for the entire lifetime of ownership.

The DataGauss LG MAX is designed to help you comply with the following government mandates that require destruction of sensitive information stored on hard drives and backup tapes before their disposal.

  • PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
  • PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
  • NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST.SP.800-88r1
  • NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST SP 800-36

  • HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
  • California SB-1386
  • IRS-1075
  • CJIS
  • Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)

With safety in mind and to meet the latest ICNIRP Magnetic Exposure Guidelines, the DataGauss LG MAX field discharge duration is less than a second and the magnetic field is designed to be concentrated inside the chamber.
