Page 7: Introduction
Introduction AVANCE NMR Spectrometer Intended Use The Bruker AVANCE systems should only be used for their intended purpose as described in their respective manuals and outlined in this section. Use of the unit for any purpose other than that for which it is intended is taken only at the users own risk and invalidates any and all manufacturer warranties. -
Page 8: Purpose Of This Manual
The purpose of this manual is to summarize the safety considerations which apply to the Avance system. It does not replace the individual manuals but is meant as a quick and easy access to the relevant information concerning safety issues. As such, one copy should always be available at the operator's desk. -
Page 9: Safety Precautions Within The Outer Zone
Introduction 2.3.2 Safety precautions within the outer zone The outer zone extends from the 1mT (10 Gauss) line to the 0.3 mT (3 Gauss) line. The magnet's stray field does not get blocked by walls, floors or ceilings and the outer zone may well encompass adjoining rooms. -
Page 10: Ce Certification
Introduction CE Certification All major hardware units housed in the AVANCE with SGU consoles as well as peripheral units such as the magnet, HPPR, shim systems, probe and BSMS keypad comply with the CE Declaration of Conformity. This includes the level of any stray electromagnetic radiation that might be emitted as well as standard electrical hazards. - Page 11 Introduction Prohibition sign: No credit cards or other magnetic memory! • Credit cards and magnetic memory may be damaged in the marked area!. Prohibition sign: Do not touch! • Do not touch the marked area! Hazard warning sign: Warning! • Disregard of this may lead to personal injury! Notes: Hint for good operating practice.

BRUKER or compliant with IEC safety standards. Technically Qualified Personnel Only WARNING: Installation and servicing should only be done by BRUKER qualified personnel. Always disconnect power cable before servicing. Under certain conditions dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them. -
Page 17: Safety Stop
Contact Bruker service if you cannot establish the cause of the failure. The chassis can be returned to its normal working state by switching the mains circuit breaker manually OFF and ON. -

BRUKER or compliant with IEC safety standards. Technically Qualified Personnel Only WARNING: Installation and servicing should only be done by BRUKER qualified personnel. Always disconnect power cable before servicing. Under certain conditions dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them. - Page 19 The BSMS/2 systems degree of protection against electrical hazard complies with IEC IP20, i.e. all electrical parts are protected against touching. WARNING: All electrical connectors must be used as supplied by BRUKER. Do not substitute them by other types. Lifting the BSMS/2 Chassis WARNING: At least two people are needed to insert and remove the BSMS/2 chassis from the electronics cabinet.

It is the intention of Bruker’s customers to communicate effectively the information in this manual regarding safety procedure and hazards associated with NMR magnet systems to their own customers and to users of the equipment. -
Page 22: Shielding
Magnet Safety 4.1.1 Shielding Most of the newer NMR magnet systems are actively shielded. The following must be understood when installing or working with such a shielded magnet: • The active shielding of the superconducting coil reduces the stray magnetic fields, and therefore its effects. -
Page 23: Before Ramping The Magnet To Field
Magnet Safety 4.1.5 Before Ramping the Magnet to Field Prior to start energizing the magnet system, one must: • Ensure all loose ferromagnetic objects are removed from within 5 gauss field of the NMR magnet system. • Display magnet warning signs at all points of access to the magnet room. •... -
Page 24: Safe Handling Of Cryogenic Substances
Magnet Safety The following figure shows the recommended layout of the warning sign: Safe Handling of Cryogenic Substances A superconducting magnet uses two types of cryogens, liquid helium and liquid nitrogen. Cryogenic liquids can be handled easily and safely provided certain precautions are obeyed. The recommendations in this section are by no means exhaustive, and when in doubt the user is advised to consult the supplier. -
Page 25: General Safety Rules
Magnet Safety 4.3.2 General Safety Rules General safety rules for handling cryogenic substances include, but are not limited to: • Cryogenic liquids remain at a constant temperature by their respective boiling points and will gradually evaporate, even when kept in insulated storage vessels (dewar). •... -
Page 26: Protective Clothing
Magnet Safety 4.3.6 Protective Clothing Protective clothing rules include, but are not limited to: • Protective clothing must be worn mainly to avoid cold burns. Therefore dry leather or cryogenic gloves must be worn when handling or working with cryogenic liquids. •... -
Page 27: Condensing Oxygen
Magnet Safety 4.4.1 Condensing Oxygen Minimize contact with air. Be aware of the following facts and precautions, contact with air occurs: • Since liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen, the oxygen in the air will condense out. • If this happens for a period of time, the oxygen concentration in the liquid nitrogen may become so high that it becomes as dangerous as handling liquid oxygen. -
Page 28: The Helium Vessel
Magnet Safety 4.5.1 The Helium Vessel The superconducting NMR magnets contain an inner vessel with liquid helium. • The helium vessel should be checked weekly for boil-off and helium level. • Use a helium flow meter or a helium gas counter! •... -
Page 29: Ventilation During Normal Operation
Magnet Safety 4.6.1 Ventilation During Normal Operation Superconducting magnets use liquid nitrogen and liquid helium as cooling agents, and a boil- off of liquid cryogens is expected during the normal operation of the magnet system, as follows: • Normal boil-off of liquids contained in the magnet based on the given boil-off specifications. -
Page 30: Oxygen Monitor And Level Sensors
Magnet Safety Quench Pipe This solution is based on a pipe connected directly to the magnet, which is then routed to the outside of the building. It is important to note the following: • Ideally, the helium exhaust from the magnet should be vented directly to the outside of the building in case a quench occurs. -
Page 31: Probe Safety Considerations
Probe Safety Considerations Probe Safety Considerations BRUKER probes are designed to hold the sample, transmit radio frequency signals which excite the sample and receive the emitted response. The transmission and reception is achieved by using specially designed RF coils. The probe is inserted into the bottom of the magnet and sits inside the room temperature shims. -
