INTRODUCTION
The crusher model intimus 1000 will physically
destroy working and non-working hard disk
drives (HDD), network HDD, half-height HDD,
standard HDD and laptop HDD by deforming
the data platters, pc board and frame of the hard
drive.
INSPECTION
Unpack the shipping carton/case and take out
the crusher. Inspect the crusher for shipping da-
mage as soon as it is unpacked. If the crusher or
any accessories are damaged or fail to operate
correctly, notify carrier and contact your dealer
immediately.
INSTALLATION
Power Plug
Confirm power requirements as indicated on
label located on back of crusher. Plug the IEC
connector attached to the power cord supplied
into the receptacle on the back of the unit.
Always unplug the unit from the
mains power supply before opening
the machine!
Location
The crusher must be placed on a flat, hard and
secure horizontal surface. Do not use the crus-
her on uneven or unstable surfaces.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Operating Environment
Please do not use or keep the crusher in
environments with excessive heat, cold,
humidity, or dust.
Use caution when bringing the crusher from a
cold environment into a warm environment. If
moisture has accumulated due to a sudden
change of temperature, wait (1) hour before
operating the crusher.
Cleaning
Please wipe dirt off with a soft and dry cloth. Do
not use chemicals or solvents.
When cleaning the unit, make sure that the
power is not connected, and wipe with a soft and
dry cloth.
To achieve proper hard drive placement, sweep
or vacuum Hard Drive debris from the inside of
the crusher. Empty debris from the Debris Tray
and remove any debris that has remained on
the Support Rails. Excess debris will alter the
placement of the HDD and may cause damage
to the crusher.
DISPOSING OF THE MACHINE:
Dispose of the machine in an
environmentally sound fashion at the
end of its useful service life. Do not
dispose of any of the parts included
in the machine or its packaging with
household trash.
DISPOSING
Sequence of Auto Mode Operation
1) Press the “Power Switch” to “ON”. The Blue
and Green lamps illuminate briefly, the Yellow
lamp flashes and the destruction wedge
returns to home position.
2) Open door and place the hard drive(s) on the
Support Rails.
Note: Center the hard drive between right
and left Support Rails and ensure the hard
drive(s) are pushed to the back (Laptop
drives can be oriented perpendicular to the
standard drive orientation to mount on both
support rails). The Green light will illuminate
when the hard drive(s) are detected by the
auto-sizing sensors located on the back wall
of the destruction chamber.
3) Close the door and press the “Size” button.
Notes:
a. The crusher will automatically size the
hard drive(s) and lower the wedge to just
above the hard drive and stop. This will
happen only on the first hard drive or until
the “Size” button is pressed again or the
crusher is powered off.
b. Pressing the “Size” button at anytime
during auto mode operation will return the
destruction wedge to the home position
4) Press the “Destroy” button. The crusher will
destroy the media in the destruction chamber
in a pre-set cycle and return to the previously
set position to be ready to destroy the next
piece of media of the same size.
5) Open the door and remove the hard drive(s)
when the Green light illuminates, indicating
the destruction process is complete.
6) Insert media and close the door and repeat
from Step 4 until the job is complete or repeat
from Step 3 if a different height media is
inserted in the chamber.
OPERATION
Sequence of Manual Mode Operation
1) Press the “Power Switch” to “ON”.
2) Press and hold the “Size” button for three
seconds or until the Green, Yellow and Blue
lights illuminate in a chasing sequence.
3) Open the door and place the Hard Drive(s)
on the Support Rails.
4) Press the “Size” button once to lower
the Destruction Wedge to level four, the
uppermost level. Press the “Size” button
again to lower the Destruction Wedge to the
next lower level and so on until the unit is
sized to the desired level for the destruction
of the media in the chamber. Notes:
a. The destruction wedge should be located
just above the media before the “Destroy”
button is pushed. Open the door and
remove the hard drive(s) when the Green
lamp illuminates, indicating the destruction
process is complete.
b. The Yellow light will blink four times for
level four, three times for level three and so
on. A total of four levels are available. After
the Destruction Wedge reaches level one,
the lowest level, the next push of the “Size”
button will return the Destruction Wedge to
the Home position.
5) Press the “Destroy” button.
Cleaning the Debris Tray
Open the door and remove the Hard Drive(s)
after the destruction wedge returns to the top
position and the motor stops.
As a safety precaution, do not open the door
until the destruction wedge has returned to the
topposition and the motor has stopped.
After the crusher destroys the Hard Drives, small
fragments of the hard drive may be left on the
Support Rails and will be left in the Debris Tray.
Sweep or vacuuming the fragments from the
Support Rails into Debris Tray located on the
bottom of the Destruction Chamber in between
the Support Rails of the crusher. When enough
debris has accumulated, remove the Debris Tray
and empty it. Place the Debris Tray back in and
resume the destruction process.
Note: Make sure that the Debris Tray is inserted
all the way to the back of the chamber or the
door will not shut completely.
