11 Installation
All the general requirements such as power supply, compressed air supply, etc. which were
discussed in the preceding chapters must first be arranged before taking delivery of the sys-
tem. It must be stressed that any installation requirements listed below such as cryogen sup-
plies, are in addition to those needed for normal system operation.
Where necessary the customer is advised to contact the local Port Authorities to clarify ar-
rangements for custom clearance. If the transport crates must be opened you must first con-
tact Bruker, as the crates are shipped utilizing Shockwatch
TM
and Tiltwatch
TM
. Failure to do
this may invalidate the warranty. If the transport crates are opened for any reason they must
then be stored indoors (out of direct sunlight).
11.1 Overview
The spectrometer system will arrive at the site in crates. The crates should only be opened by
the Bruker BioSpin service engineer. The commissioning of the magnet involves several
stages as outlined in the table below. The installation time line given below is an approxima-
tion; each site is slightly different.
Duration Procedure
ca. 3-8 hours Transport fixtures are removed. Cryostat is assembled.
2-4 days The magnet is evacuated and flushed through with nitrogen.
1-3 days Cool down of the magnet with liquid nitrogen.
1 day Cool down of the magnet with liquid helium.
1-2 days Charging of the magnet.
1 day Cryo-shimming of the magnet.
1 day Running NMR experiments to demonstrate standard specifications.

11.2 Accessibility
Before the arrival on site, the customer must ensure the equipment can be delivered, and
transported safely to the final location inside the laboratory.
• Ensure that doorways, passageways and lifts have sufficient clearance.
• Extra large doorways are required for the larger magnets.
• Equipment such as forklifts or hydraulic pallet jacks are necessary for transporting the
magnet and accessories.
