Introduction General View 1 Magnet Stand 2 RT Vessel 3 RT Bore 4 Nitrogen Turrets 5 Heat Exchanger 6 Nitrogen Flow System 7 Helium Flow System 8 Current Lead Turret 9 Helium Fill-in Turret with helium fill-in port Figure 1.1: General View of a Magnet System with 2 Helium Turrets The heart of the NMR magnet system is a superconducting magnet located inside the helium vessel, which is filled with liquid helium.
The supplied cryostat and further equipment of the magnet system were designed and manufactured according to best available technical knowledge and practice, achieved in over 50 years of experience of the Bruker Corporation. International standards for quality and approval recommended for cryostats of superconducting magnets were certified.
Safety Customer Responsibilities The customer must obey the security advice and the rules for safety, applicable local accident prevention and environmental protection correctly for the magnet system. Furthermore, the customer is responsible for keeping the magnet system in good technical condition. In particular: •...
Safety Key Words Safety instructions in this manual are marked with symbols. The safety instructions are introduced using indicative words which express the extent of the hazard. In order to avoid accidents, personal injury or damage to property, always observe safety instructions and proceed with care.
Do not exceed specified values for operating the magnet system. • Do not use inserts inside the RT bore not approved by Bruker Service. Damage claims from damages caused by other than the intended use of the magnet system are excluded and the customer is held liable.
Safety 2.4.3 Safety Devices WARNING Risk of damage to life and limb due to not sufficient safety devices. Several safety devices ensure safe operation of the magnet system. They must always be in correct working condition. Thus: • Do not block safety devices. •...
Thus: • Maintain signs and labels in a readable state. • Replace damaged or not readable signs and labels immediately. New signs and labels can be ordered from Bruker Service. 2.4.6 Technical Risks Magnetic Field WARNING Risk of damage to life and limb due to high magnetic fields.

Contact with the eyes may cause blindness. Refer to Warning: Low Temperature on page 17. Thus: • Only use cryogenic agents in well ventilated rooms. In case of doubt ask Bruker Service. • Wear an oxygen monitor on the body during service and maintenance work.
Page 18
The evaporating helium will displace the breathing air. In case of not sufficient ventilation this may result in death by suffocation. Thus • The magnet system site must be well ventilated. In case of doubt contact Bruker Service. • The evaporating gas may resemble smoke. Never pour water on the magnet system.
Safety Low Temperatures WARNING Risk of injury due to low temperatures of liquids and metal parts. Physical contact with extremely cold liquids and metal parts may cause serious injuries. Contact with the skin may cause cold burns. Contact with the eyes may cause blindness.
Page 20
Safety Risk of Tilting WARNING Risk of injury due to tilting of the magnet system. The magnet system is very sensitive to lateral forces. It may tilt. Thus: • Do not climb onto the magnet system. • Do not lean items against the magnet system. •...
Page 21
Safety Transportation CAUTION Risk of injury and property damage due to incorrect transportation. The boxes may tilt, movement may get out of control. Thus persons may get injured and the cryostat or further equipment may be damaged. Thus: • Be careful while unloading and moving the boxes. •...
Safety Personal Protective Equipment The personal protective equipment must be worn at any time while working on the magnet system and further equipment to prevent health hazards. Protective Goggles Used to protect the eyes from injury due to flying cold liquids and parts. Protective Gloves Used to protect the hands from injury caused by contact with extremely cold liquids or surfaces and for protection from injury caused by rough edges.
Safety Description of Signs and Labels Signs and labels are always related to their immediate vicinity. The following signs and labels are found on the magnet system and in the vicinity. Prohibition sign: No person with pacemakers! People with pacemakers are endangered in the identified area of 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) and are not allowed to enter these areas.
Safety Safety Devices The supplied cryostat of the magnet system is equipped with the following safety devices: 1 Drop-off Plate 2 One-way Valve of the nitrogen vessel 3 Safety Valve of the nitrogen vessel 4 One-way Valve of the helium vessel 5 Quench Valves Figure 2.1: Safety Devices of the Cryostat with 2 Helium Turrets ZTKS0269 / Z33108 / 02...
Page 25
Safety Quench Valve The quench valves (5) are the safety devices of the helium vessel. They open with a defined pressure. In case of an accidental overpressure in the helium vessel the quench valves will release the pressure smoothly. Safety Valve The safety valve (3) is the safety device of the nitrogen vessel.
Safety Behavior in Danger and Emergency Situations Preparations • Keep the emergency exits free at all times. • Prepare and maintain an up-to-date list of emergency telephone numbers in the magnet system area. In Case of Emergency • Leave the danger zone immediately. •...
Transportation Safety The transportation is carried out by Bruker Service or approved persons. However, it may happen that other persons have to receive the delivery of the shipping boxes. In this case it is essential to obey the instructions in this chapter and to inform these persons before.
• Contact Bruker Service before installation. The claim for damage expires after the fixed period. Thus: Report damages to Bruker Service immediately after detection of damage. For contact information see page 7 of this document. ZTKS0269 / Z33108 / 02...

Operation Sweep Procedure (DNP only) Check the settings of the Sweep Power Supply (see ”Sweep Power Supply Set- tings” on page 82). If necessary change settings (refer to the supplied manual of the Sweep Power Supply). Set the output current at the Sweep Power Supply to 0 A. WARNING Risk of a quench, if currents at the Sweep Power Supply and sweep coil are different.
Operation Set into Operation If the magnet system is equipped with a magnet stand with pneumatic isolators: Set the magnet stand into operation by switching the pneumatic controller to UP position. Figure 5.1: Start the Magnet Stand For any work at the magnet system like maintenance or refill of cryogenic agents stop the magnet stand by switching the pneumatic controller to DOWN position.
