Introduction

A Cryogenic system consists of an Agilent Cold Probe and

closed- cycle cryogenic system.

The cryogenic system circulates cold He gas to maintain key

probe components at an operating temperature of

approximately 25 kelvin.

1Introduction

Safety

Warning notices

Observe the following precautions during installation,

operation, maintenance, and repair of the instrument.

Failure to comply with these warnings, or with specific

warnings elsewhere in Agilent manuals, violates safety

standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the

instrument. Agilent assumes no liability for customer failure

to comply with these precautions.

The superconducting magnet system generates strong

magnetic fields that can affect operation of some cardiac

pacemakers or harm implanted or attached devices such as

prosthetic parts and metal blood vessel clips and clamps.

Pacemaker wearers should consult the user manual provided

by the pacemaker manufacturer or contact the pacemaker

manufacturer to determine the effect on a specific

pacemaker. Pacemaker wearers should also always notify

their physician and discuss the health risks of being in

proximity to magnetic fields. Wearers of metal prosthetics

and implants should contact their physician to determine if

a danger exists.

Refer to the manuals supplied with the magnet for the size

of a typical 5- gauss stray field. This gauss level should be

checked after the magnet is installed.

The strong magnetic field surrounding the magnet attracts

objects containing steel, iron, or other ferromagnetic

materials, which includes most ordinary tools, electronic

equipment, compressed gas cylinders, steel chairs, and steel

carts. Unless restrained, such objects can suddenly fly

towards the magnet, causing possible personal injury and

extensive damage to the probe, dewar, and superconducting

WARNING

Persons with implanted or attached medical devices such as

pacemakers and prosthetic parts must remain outside the 5-gauss

perimeter from the centerline of the magnet.

WARNING

Keep metal objects outside the 10-gauss perimeter from the

centerline of the magnet.

Cryogenic Systems Operation 9

solenoid. The greater the mass of the object, the more the

magnet attracts the object.

Only nonferromagnetic materials such as plastics, aluminum,

wood, and nonmagnetic stainless steel, should be used in the

area around the magnet. If an object is stuck to the magnet

surface and cannot easily be removed by hand, contact

Agilent service for assistance.

Refer to the manuals supplied with the magnet for the size

of a typical 10- gauss stray field. This gauss level should be

checked after the magnet is installed.

Dangerous high voltages that can kill or injure exist inside

the instrument. Before working inside a cabinet, turn off the

main system power or unplug the unit.

Any unauthorized modification could injure personnel or

damage equipment and potentially terminate the warranty

agreements or service contract. Written authorization

approved by an Agilent product manager is required to

implement any changes to the hardware of a NMR

spectrometer. Maintain safety features by referring system

service to an Agilent service office.

Operation with flammable gases or fumes present creates the

risk of injury or death from toxic fumes, explosion, or fire.

If the magnet dewar should quench (sudden appearance of

WARNING

Only qualified maintenance personnel shall remove equipment

covers or make internal adjustments.

WARNING

Do not substitute parts or modify the instrument.

WARNING

Do not operate in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

WARNING

Leave area immediately in the event of a magnet quench.

gasses from the top of the dewar), leave the area

immediately. Sudden release of helium or nitrogen gases can

rapidly displace oxygen in an enclosed space creating a

possibility of asphyxiation. Do not return until the oxygen

level returns to normal.

In contact with the body, helium and nitrogen can cause an

injury similar to a burn. Never place your head over the

helium and nitrogen exit tubes on top of the magnet. If

helium or nitrogen contacts the body, seek immediate

medical attention, especially if the skin is blistered or the

eyes are affected.

Unless the probe is removed from the magnet, never look

down the upper barrel. You could be injured by the sample

tube as it ejects pneumatically from the probe.

A sample tube subjected to a change in temperature can

build up excessive pressure, which can break the sample

tube glass and cause injury by flying glass and toxic

materials. To avoid this hazard, establish the freezing and

boiling point of a sample before doing a variable temperature

experiment.

The magnet dewar has a high center of gravity and could tip

over in an earthquake or after being struck by a large object,

injuring personnel and causing sudden, dangerous release of

nitrogen and helium gasses from the dewar. Therefore, the

WARNING

Avoid helium or nitrogen contact with any part of the body.

WARNING

Do not look down the upper barrel.

WARNING

Do not exceed the boiling or freezing point of a sample during

variable temperature experiments.

WARNING

Support the magnet and prevent it from tipping over.
