Introduction 2
BRUKER Automatic Sample Changer 2.1
The BRUKER Automatic Sample Changer, used in conjunction with BRUKER
XWINNMR software, provides dialog-guided facilities which allow the user to eas-
ily and effectively perform automatic (continuous) experiments. Features include a
60 or 120 sample capacity, random accessing of samples, positive sample identi-
fication with the optional barcode reader, and temperature control of individual
samples with the optional sample heater unit.
The standard NMR software includes the comprehensive automation package re-
quired for the Automatic Sample Changer. It features automatic instrument optimi-
zation, phasing, integration and plotting. Specialized routines assist data
interpretation. Easy set-up procedures are accomplished via dialog software at
three user-interface levels.
Site Considerations 2.2
The Automatic Sample Changer should be setup in a standard laboratory environ-
ment. Maximum room temperature should not exceed 30°C. For more information
refer to the Avance Spectrometer manual on site planning.

Safety
Considerations 3
Before Mounting the Automatic Sample Changer 3.1
Make sure the magnet is firmly secured to its base in order to prevent the instru-
mentation from tipping over.
While Mounting the Column 3.2
When assembling the column, do not tighten the top fastening ring too hard, as
this may cause damage to the column surfaces.
When fixing the column to the magnet, mount both bottom arms to prevent ob-
struction when manipulating or changing probes.
When handling tools, screws, or any metallic parts beware of the strong magnetic
field.
During Operation 3.3
Excessive tension of the magazine belt will damage the belt and wheel bearings.
(Refer to "Cabinet and Magazine Belt Adjustment" on page 31 for adjustment
of the tension of the magazine belt).
Beware of the strong magnetic field while working around the magnet. Keep all
metal objects, such as tools, screws, or any metallic parts away from the magnet.
Remove any mechanical watches or metallic objects while working around the
magnet.
When the Automatic Sample Changer is running, avoid putting hands or objects in
the path of the arm, magazine belt or pinchers, as this may cause personal injury
or damage to the equipment.
Potentially Hazardous Areas 3.4
The symbol shown on the left indicates a potentially hazardous area (ISO 3864;
DIN 40008).
The symbol is placed on the following areas of the Automatic Sample Changer:

hands and other objects away from the pinchers on the end of the vertical cyl-
inder.
2. On the front side of the upper column assembly. Warning: Keep hands and
other objects away from the path of the pneumatic arm and magazine belt (fig-
ure 4.7) during operation of the sample changer.
Extreme Temperatures 3.5
The sample warmer located on the magazine belt reaches extreme temperatures:
Warning: Do not insert your fingers into the sample warmer. When the sample
warmer is operating it can reach temperatures exceeding 70°C (figure 3.1).

Mounting
Instructions 4
Caution 4.1
Before mounting the Automatic Sample Changer, it is important to make sure that
the magnet is firmly anchored to its base in order to prevent the instrumentation
from tipping over. When doing so, carefully align the legs and lifting lugs used to
secure the Sample Changer. The Sample Changer is held to the magnet by four
adjustable arm assemblies (two for magnets with active dampers or TMC legs).
The arm assemblies should be aligned with the magnet as shown in Figure 4.1..

Mounting Instructions
Preparing the Magnet for Installation 4.2
The bottom arms of the sample changer are designed to fit 65 mm φlegs, they are
adjustable in length to allow for compensation of construction tolerance.
If for some reason it is not possible to move, fix, or align the legs of the magnet,
new bottom arms at the proper length can be delivered as an option. Please in-
form a Bruker representative about the misalignment angle or the necessary arm
length, new arms will be shipped as soon as possible.
Connecting the Light Barrier Assembly 4.3
➪Note: Magnets with the BOSS 1 and BOSS 2 Shim Systems do not require
this step, they are delivered with the light barrier cylinder already installed.
Figure 4.2. Magnet with BOSS Shim System Already Mounted
Mount the light barrier cylinder by placing it onto the top of the shim system and
fastening the three side screws (Figure 4.3.). To correctly place the light cylinder
barrier, push the cylinder down firmly while turning the cylinder into position (the
fitting may be tight). This will guarantee minimal loss of sample lift air between the
shim system and the cylinder.

Mounting the Cabinet
Installation Manual Version 001 BRUKER 15 (167)
Figure 4.3. Light Barrier for the Shim System
Mounting the Cabinet 4.4
The sample changer cabinet is fitted with a display unit on the front side. The rear
side is the side that faces the magnet. Remove the two rear side panels from the
rear of the cabinet. The cabinet is fixed to the column by a cylindrical collar. Loos-
en the screws from the top cylindrical collar (Figure 4.4.) before mounting the unit
onto the column.
Place the cabinet on its side on a soft surface such as a blanket or carpet. This
position will make it easier to slide the column through the cabinet. Open the front
panel of the cabinet by loosening the screws.
Note: The top end of the round column piece is the end with the shortest distance
from the side opening to the end of the column piece.
Insert the top end of the round column piece from the bottom side of the cabinet
into the cabinet cylindrical collar, pushing it through until the side opening on the
column disappears inside the cabinet (Figure 4.4.). Mount the cabinet resting ring
between the side opening and the cylindrical collar. Tighten both the resting ring
and the collar in the position shown in Figure 4.4..

Preparing the Column for Assembly 4.5
Slide the clamp cover and the square clamp (see Figure 4.5.) over the bottom of
the round column towards the bottom of the cabinet. The clamp cover should be
next to the cabinet and the square clamp underneath the cover. Do not tighten the
clamp.
To prepare the square column piece for mounting, pull the cables and pneumatic
hoses out of the inside of the top of the square column piece. Insert these cables
and hoses (upwards) through the round column piece. Reach through the cabinet
opening and the side opening of the round column piece and pull the cables and
hoses through until the ends are outside the side opening of the round piece (see
Figure 4.5.).

Assembling the Column
Installation Manual Version 001 BRUKER 17 (167)
Measure the distance from the top of the shim system of the magnet to the
ground. If the Column is fitted with a base plate, then measure from the top of the
shim system to the top of the base plate (figure 4.1). In either case subtract 0,5
cm from the measurement. This is the length that the column needs to be from the
bottom of the square column piece to the top of the belt of the cabinet. You will
need this measurement for the assembly of the column.
Assembling the Column 4.6
Refer to Figure 4.5. for this step.
Assemble the two column pieces, placing the square piece over the round piece.
Using the measurement obtained in section 4.4 align the distance of the bottom
of the square piece to the top of the belt of the cabinet. It is important for the
proper operation of the sample changer that this length matches the distance from
the ground (or the top of the base plate for the column assembly) to the top of the
shim system minus 0,5 cm.
Fasten the two column pieces together by placing the four vertical locking mecha-
nisms in the inside corners of the square column piece. Recheck the length of the
column as described above, and adjust if necessary.
Slide the square clamp downwards until it sets over the locking mechanisms.
Tighten the clamp securely. Slide the clamp cover downwards until it sets firmly
against the square clamp.

(see Figure 4.1.). Tip: It is easier to accomplish this step with two people, one to
hold the column vertical and the other to secure the adjustable arms.
Note: If the magnet has Vibration Dampers and the column uses a support pic-
tured in Figure 4.1., then the column must be leveled at this time (as described in
section 4.9) before mounting the pneumatic arm assembly.
Figure 4.8. Arrangement of Arm and Cabinet Assemblies
Mounting the Pneumatic Arm Assembly 4.8
Slide the pneumatic arm resting ring (Figure 4.8.) over the top of the round col-
umn piece and let it rest on the top of the cabinet (don’t tighten it). The resting ring
gives a vertical support to the arm which can still rotate horizontally. A key and slot
system allows for a free rotation of the arm of about 90° around the column. This
is necessary on wide bore magnets where the arm has to swing away from the top
opening when handling larger samples.
