This manual is intended to be a quick-start reference guide for Bruker service techni- cians. It provides basic information for installing and setting up the Fourier 300 system. Carefully read the information in this manual, as well as, the safety information...
Getting Started Console Connections Figure 1.1 Console Connections External Filters Some earlier models come with three external filters: • Z13383 is connected to the 1H connector on the rear of the console. • Z14331 is connected to the C13 connector on the rear of the console. •...
To access any of the Web server sites, the following password and user name are required: User: root Password: BRUKER (in capitals!) If you are not sure the DHCP Server is running, you can check by opening: Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Bruker DCHP Server Figure 1.2 Bruker DCHP Server Z33048_00_01...

Getting Started Setting the Magnet to the Correct Field The magnet is designed to be operated at 300.18 MHz, with the current in the H0 field coil of the shim system set to zero. At this frequency the synthesizers are “cleanest” and least likely to create spurious problems.
Getting Started Figure 1.3 Setting the Spin Safety Threshold Remove the sample, or activate the sample lift, and annotate the “empty” spin volt- age. Insert, or lower the sample, and switch on the spin (either from the BSMS panel or from the Web server).
Getting Started 1.11 Initial Shimming First level shimming is done in the usual way by first setting the currents given in the magnet manual and then seeing if the base shim can be improved in the GS mode. Once the cryo-shims are set, continue adjusting the lower orders of the BOSS1 shim system in the GS mode until your FID half height has reached approximately 100 ms.
Converting the Parameter Set to the Actual BF1 Before converting the parameter set, make a backup copy of the PAR directory, e.g: C:\Bruker\TopSpin3.1.b.12\exp\stan\nmr\par This can be done using CF, followed by “expinstall”. However, the preferred way is to use CF, followed by the command “paracon”, since it also converts parameter sets in the user directory.
Getting Started Figure 1.6 Parameter Set Conversion NOTE: If the BF1 has been changed, you will need to restart the console after perform- ing CF, or paracon has been carried out. Otherwise, the lock frequency will not be updated. 1.15 Creating a Shim Map for Gradshim Gradshim works best when the shim map was made using a well shimmed magnet.
1.16 ATP Tests and Customer Acceptance The required Hardware Tests (HWT) for the Fourier 300 are carried out during console end testing and are not intended to be repeated at the customer site. The following ATP tests are relevant for the Fourier: •...

Getting Started and 2D spectra. If this part contains spectral information, simply increase the spec- tral width. Note: If you obtain reproducible “spurious spikes” in 1H spectra it may be due to an unfavorable BF1 frequency. The Fourier DDS are “clean” for at least 200 ppm at around 300.18 MHz.
Appendix Appendix Main Differences Between Fourier and AVANCE The main differences between the Fourier and AVANCE are that with the Fourier: • The lock works at 1 kHz instead of 6 kHz, which means that sidebands are closer together. Also, the lock parameters have different units for BSMS values. Table 1.1.
