Page 15: Console Safety
The electronics cabinet is equipped with a three-conductor AC power cable. Only use power cables approved by BRUKER or compliant with IEC safety standards. Because of its weight, the console should only be moved by authorized personnel wearing appropriate safety shoes. -
Page 16: Emergency Shutoff
Cabinet Safety • Select Shutdown (or Reboot) in the PDU Display. Figure 3.4: The PDU Display Note: The PDU itself remains on even after the shutdown procedure has been completed. The PDU must be switched off by using the mains switch described in the next section. 3.3.2 Emergency Shutoff The mains switch powers down the console including the PDU after a controlled shutdown. -

Page 20: Safety Labels
The amplifier in AVANCE NEO systems can only be switched off through the PDU. It is not advised to selectively switch off the amplifier. Instead, shutdown the console completely. Only if otherwise instructed by Bruker personnel, you may be guided through a process to selectively shutdown the amplifier. -
Page 21: Magnet Safety
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. -
Page 32: First Aid
Probe Safety Considerations General Safety Issues • NMR laboratories should not be accessible to the public. Make sure access is restricted to authorized and qualified persons only. • Strong magnetic fields involve various hazards. The danger zone should be labelled as precise as possible by the use of barriers, floor-taping or visual warning devices. -
