2 Introduction
This service manual is intended to be used by trained Bruker service staff only. The
manual is a service and installation guide for the console part of the Fourier 300 system.
Please refer to the individual probe and magnet manuals for service related information
on these devices.
2.1 Concept
The Fourier 300 is a complete spectrometer for routine and educational NMR. It delivers
powerful performance at extremely compact size, low weight and minimized cost. With
its new robust probe technology and a unique push-button, power on/off concept, ease
of siting and handling is guaranteed.
The Fourier 300 console consisting of:
• Fourier 300 Console
•NMRProbe
• Magnet
• BOSS1 Shim System
