Product Description

The Proton T-4 produces a bi-directional field which provides a 20,000 Gauss positive field and a 20,000 Gauss Negative field. The T-4 achieves this by using a unique, patented “Reverse Polarity”. Other degaussers may have either a positive or negative pulse, but only one. The T-4 has both and it is fully automatic. This ensures complete and permanent erasure of your data and will protect your sensitive information for years to come. The T-4 now has a LCD screen and internal Gaussmeter for performance verification. This new feature guarantees that your degausser is performing to NSA standards every time and eliminates the requirement of separate instruments to check field strength and/or recertification programs.

Product Details

Listed on the National Security Agency’s Evaluated Products List (NSA EPL-Degausser) and complies with DoD requirements for destroying classified information on magnetic media.
Internal software requires all parameters (capacitor voltage, switch, etc.) are present prior to the “Go” LED display. If any problem exists that will compromise degaussing, the “Go” LED will not display. This software guarantees that each degauss cycle delivers sufficient strength and consistent performance.
Patented “Reverse Polarity” Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) technology.
Fully automatic operation: no drawer to open and close, simply insert media into top slot and push start button.
Lightweight and portable design enables table top or floor operation.
CESG Approved (UK) and CE Approved (EU).
Manufactured in the USA in ISO 9001 certified facilities.
Permanent destruction of confidential and classified data.
Compliance with recognized standards and regulations, including FACTA, HIPAA, GLB, DPA, etc.
Sanitizes both Longitudinal and Perpendicular recorded media and is projected to reliably degauss future media with increased coercivities and higher Oersteds (Oe).
Stores energy from previous cycles to reduce subsequent cycle times and save energy.
Simple to use and fits easily into existing operations.
Options: 12 Volt Battery Operation, Extended Warranty, Mobility Cart and Deployment Case with wheels – Custom rugged design allows the T-4 to operate while still in case and be easily transported when necessary.

Transcript: Hi, I’m Ryan with Proton Data, and this is the Proton T-4 Degausser. It’s the strongest degausser on the market because of its patented reverse polarity technology. We’ll talk about that in a minute, but first let’s see how it works.
The unit plugs into any standard wall outlet, and it has dual voltage, so it can operate anywhere in the world. Simply take a hard drive or tape, place it in the opening, press the Start button, and it drops into the chamber. You’ll hear two pulses. That’s our patented technology. That was the first pulse.

Hi, I’m Ryan with Proton Data, and this is the Proton T-4 Degausser. It’s the strongest degausser on the market because of its patented reverse polarity technology. We’ll talk about that in a minute, but first let’s see how it works. The unit plugs into any standard wall outlet, and it has dual voltage, so it can operate anywhere in the world. Simply take a hard drive or tape, place it in the opening, press the Start button, and it drops into the chamber. You’ll hear two pulses. That’s our patented technology. That was the first pulse. It’s a positive, 20,000 gauss field. The next pulse will be a negative 20,000 gauss field. This reverse-polarity technology is patented, and it creates the highest field saturation available. The use of positive and negative pulses guarantees that your media is totally degaussed and forensically unrecoverable. The T-4 meets NSA and DoD specs for top secret and classified data. In a few seconds here, it’ll drop down the exit chute. Thischute can also be straightened upon request to let the media fall directly into the bin.

You’ll see that with the T-4, there is no need top open and close a drawer for every cycle, like with some degaussers. So this can save you a lot of time if you have a large volume of hard drives or tapes. After you get the hard drive from the tray, you can place and erasethe ‘sanitize’ label on itand mark it for safe recycling or send it to be physically destroyed or shredded. As an added safeguard, the T-4 has internal sensors which measures the field strength of each and every cycle and reports it to the operator on this blue LCD screen. To report both the positive and negative pulses, you see the bidirectional field. And this ensures that your degausser is working to NSA specs each and every cycle. It also has a digital cycle counter to help you keep track of your degaussing. The T-4 will erase all magnetic media available today, including new SMR (Seagate Shingled Magnetic Recording) technology, and it’s also designed to last well into the future. So it won’t be outdated as new data storage technology continues to come out.
