Introduction
The heart of the NMR magnet system is a superconducting magnet located inside the
helium vessel, which is filled with liquid helium. The helium vessel is surrounded by a
radiation shield (RS) both cooled by a Cryogenic Refrigerator. The outer casing, the
room temperature (RT) vessel (10) contains the helium vessel and the radiation shield.
The vacuum inside the RT vessel reduces thermal conduction. The RT bore (9) allows
the access to the magnetic center. RT vessel, helium vessel, radiation shield, helium
turrets, flow system and the RT bore together build the cryostat of the magnet system.
The cryostat is mounted on a magnet stand (11). The isolators in the magnet stand
absorb floor vibrations. Different heights and isolators are available optionally.
The helium turrets (6, 8) connected with the helium flow system (5) are the interface of
the helium vessel and the magnet coil. The helium fill-in turret (8) is marked with a yellow
label. The current lead turret (6) is the interface for energizing the magnet coil and for
diagnostic.
The Cryogenic Refrigerator is a closed loop helium expansion cycle. It consists of a
Compressor (1), two Flex Lines (2), a remote Rotary Valve inside the Rotary Valve
Column (RVC; 3), a Cold Head (7) and a Connecting Line (4) between Rotary Valve and
Cold Head. The Rotary Valve, Flex Lines, Connecting Line and Cold Head are covered
with an applicable noise protection cover. For the Compressor a noise protection is
available optionally.
Depending on the customers site restrictions several otions of the Cryogenic
Refrigerator are possible. Refer to the order subscription and to the supplied manuals of
the supplied equipment.

2.2 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:
• The customer must identify additional dangers resulting from the working conditions
at the site of the magnet system and provide applicable safety measures.
• The customer must ensure that the site plan meets the specified conditions
according to the site planning document for operating the magnet system.
• The customer must clearly mark the danger area around the magnet system and
post the corresponding instruction plates.
• The customer has to ensure the intended use of the magnet system.
• The customer has to inform the local fire brigade about the special risks of the
magnet system and how to react in the event of an incident.
• The customer must clearly define the responsibilities for operation and
maintenance.
• The customer must ensure that all employees working with the magnet system have
read and understood the manual.
• The customer has to provide the necessary personal protective equipment for his
employees.
• The customer has to instruct his employees at regular intervals on hazards and
safety measures.
• The customer has to instruct other persons not working on the magnet system but
carrying out work in the same room, for instance cleaning staff or guards about the
possible danger at the site of the magnet system.
• The customer has to consider the specific items of this cryostat equipped with a
Cryogenic Refrigerator. The customer is responsible for obeying the advice given in
this manual. In case the Cryogenic Refrigerator is not running correctly his
immediate reaction is mandatory. In case of an unexpected alarm his immediate
response is mandatory. For further instruction refer to chapter ”Troubleshooting”
on page 41.

2.4.5 Signs and Labels
2.4.6 Technical Risks
Magnetic Field
WARNING
Risk of damage to persons and property due to not readable signs and
labels.
Signs and labels with advice may become not readable.
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.
WARNING
Risk of damage to life and limb due to high magnetic fields.
A magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) is life-threatening for people with
pacemakers or active metal implants. Exposure to more than 8 T can cause damage
to health. Duration of exposure (8 h/day) above the limit of 200 mT can cause
damage to health. Ferromagnetic tools in the magnetic field are significantly
hazardous. Disks and electronic devices may be damaged.
Thus:
• Mark the magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) before start up.
• Keep people with active medical implants away from the 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) area.
• The permanent workplace of employees must be outside the 0.5 mT (5 Gauss)
area.
• Do not stay or work at magnetic fields of more than 8 T.
• Prevent exposure of more than 200 mT for more than 8 h/day.
• Keep disks, credit cards and electronic devices away from the identified area.
• Do not use ferromagnetic tools or items within the identified area.
• Only use non-ferromagnetic transportation dewars or pressure cylinders for the
cryogenic agents.
• Only use non-ferromagnetic ladders or steps.
