2 Introduction
The Bruker Magnet Pump Control 2 (BMPC/2) is a Windows XP based system that
supervises and serves the pumps and valves that are needed for the stable operation of
sub-cooled Bruker high field magnets.
The main functions include:
• Monitoring of the magnet status and the most important cryogen parameters.
• Monitoring and control of the pump system.
• Alarm system.
2.1 Modes of Operation
The BMPC/2 can be operated in two different modes, manual or automatic. The modes
of operation are discussed in detail in the chapter "Principles of Operation" on page 15.
2.2 User Interface
The BMPC/2 is controlled by a software user interface. This interface contains three
user levels:
1. User - Standard User Level
2. Administrator - System Administration and Configuration Level
3. Service - For Bruker Service
There are five different screen display modes and four different work display modes
available within the user interface. These various software interface displays can be con-
figured individually by the system Administrator or by Bruker Service. Refer to the chap-
ter "Software" on page 21 for an overview of the user interface.
2.3 Parameter and System Configuration Overview
The BMPC/2 system is pre-configured by Bruker service personnel during installation.
The configuration parameters for the alarm and voice box systems can be adjusted by
the system Administrator or by Bruker Service. Information for the Administrator on how
to configure the system is available in the chapter "Configuration (administrator)" on
page 87.

12 Z31823_00_05
Introduction
2.4 Alarm and Notification System
An integral part of the BMPC/2 system is the Alarm System and Voice Box System.
The Alarm System is needed for the supervision of the magnet system. A description of
this system is available in the chapter "Alarm System" on page 39.
The Voice Box System is the telephone interface that is used for an alarm sequence or
for requesting a remote status report. An overview of this system is available in the
chapter "Voice Box System" on page 43.
2.5 Additional Information Available in This Manual
The following chapters have been included in this manual to provide additional informa-
tion for the user:
•"Hardware Overview" on page 47
•"Maintenance and Cleaning" on page 63
•"Setup and Diagnostics Tool" on page 65
•"Troubleshooting" on page 69
•"Technical Data" on page 121
•"Contact" on page 123

3 Safety
The following safety issues are relevant for the Bruker Magnet Pump Control 2
(BMPC/2) unit:
• Service and maintenance should only be accomplished by qualified personal.
• Only personnel trained on the use of the BMPC/2 should operate the unit.
• Read this manual completely before operating the BMPC/2. Pay particular attention
to any warning references made.

4 Principles of Operation
The BMPC/2 can be operated in two different modes:
•Manual mode or,
•Automatic Pump mode.
The "Manual Mode" is the standard mode of operation after the unit is turned on or reset.
In manual mode all the pumps and valves can be operated manually.
In "Automatic Pump Mode" all the pumps and valves are controlled automatically. This is
the preferred mode for the BMPC/2.
4.1 Manual Mode
The operation of the pumps and valves in manual mode takes place with the help of the
different buttons located on the front plate of the BMPC/2 control unit. The function of
these buttons, which are illustrated in the following diagram, will be discussed in the fol-
lowing sections.
Figure 4.1 BMPC/2 Control Unit Front Plate
4.1.1 Mode Buttons
The mode buttons are used to switch between manual and automatic mode.
To enter automatic mode press the AUTO mode button. The green lamp will activate
when the unit switches to automatic mode.
To return to manual mode press the MANUAL button. The green light will deactivate and
the red lamp will activate indicating that the unit is in manual mode.

Principles of Operation
4.1.2 Pump 1 and Valve 1 Buttons
The Pump 1 buttons allows you to turn the pump on or off in manual mode. Likewise, the
Valve 1 buttons allow you to open or close valve 1. The pertinent lamps will indicate the
current condition:
•The green lights will indicate that the pump is running or the valve is open.
•The red lights will indicate that the pump is off or the valve is closed.
4.1.3 Pump 2 and Valve 2 Buttons
The Pump 2 and Valve 2 buttons have the same function as the Pump 1 / Valve 1
described in the previous section, the only difference is that they affect Pump 2 and
Valve 2.
4.1.4 Valve 3 Buttons
The Valve 3 buttons are intended for future extensions and presently are not used.
When you press the buttons you will hear a click, but no function will be performed.
4.2 Pumps and Valves in Manual Mode
There are several pump and valve configurations available in manual mode:
• Pump 1 on together with Valve 1 opened,
• Pump 2 on with Valve 2 opened, or
• Both pumps on with both valves opened.
In manual mode the condition of the pumping system is not monitored, thus when a
pump or valve is not working correctly the system will not react.
NOTICE
Using the pump in manual mode
When using a pump in manual mode it is possible that a return flow of air into the
pump line occurs.
Always switch the pump on first, then wait 10 to 15 seconds before you open the
associated valve.
Before switching a pump off, always close the associated valve first!

17
Z31823_00_05
Principles of Operation
Refer to the section "Monitor & Alarm Mode" on page 33 for more information on the
BMPC/2 software.
4.3 Automatic Pump Mode
In automatic pump mode all the pumps and valves are controlled automatically. It is not
possible to operate a pump or valve manually using the front panel buttons when the
system is in automatic mode.
To change to automatic pump mode when you are in manual mode press the AUTO but-
ton. The green lamp indicates when the unit is in automatic pump mode.
Figure 4.2 Automatic Pump Mode vs. Manual Pump Mode
CAUTION
Never use Pump 1 when Valve 2 is open, or Pump 2 when Valve 1 is
open
This can result in a return flow of air into the pump line and an increase in the magnet
temperature.
When using Pump 1, first close Valve 2.
When using Pump 2, first close Valve 1.
NOTICE
In manual mode the BMPC/2 will not react to critical magnet parameters
When, for example, the helium flow is too low the Pump 2 will not automatically
switch on. However, when the BMPC/2 software is operating in Monitor & Alarm
mode, you will nevertheless be alarmed when important magnet parameters exceed
or fall below their limit values.
Always place the BMPC/2 software in Monitor & Alarm mode when working in
manual mode.

Principles of Operation
4.3.1 The Default Pump
The default pump that is used when the unit is switched to automatic mode depends on
which, if any, pump is operating:
• If one pump is running, this will become the default pump.
• If both pumps are running, they will both be regarded as default pumps.
• If no pump is running then, Pump 1 will be used as default.
4.3.1.1 Default Pump Failure
The BMPC/2 continuously monitors the condition of the default pump(s) in operation. If
one of the pumps or valves malfunctions:
1. The malfunctioning pump (or valve) and its corresponding valve (or pump) are
stopped or closed.
2. Either the other pump switches on automatically and the corresponding valve is
opened, or, when both pumps were operating, the other pump will continue to oper-
ate and its corresponding valve will remain open.
3. The BMPC/2 software will display an error message indicating the current problem.
4.4 Monitoring in Automatic Pump Mode
The BMPC/2 continuously supervises the following magnet parameters and compares
these with their preset limit values (see "Limit Values" on page 100):
• P1 Pressure
• T1/T2 Temperature
• F1 Helium Flow
When one of these limit values is exceeded, the BMPC/2 activates the second pump,
which will always operate for at least 1 hour. Afterwards the pump may continue to run
for an additional hour or will be switched off depending on the actual system status.

Principles of Operation
4.4.1 P1 Pressure Monitoring
The P1 pressure is continuously monitored against a pre-specified upper and lower limit
and the following actions taken if one of these limits is reached:
4.4.2 T1/T2 Temperature Monitoring
The T1 and T2 temperatures are continuously monitored against a pre-specified lower
limit and the following actions taken if the limit is reached:
4.4.3 Fl Helium Flow Monitoring
