Insertion and removal of the CryoProbe can be easily accomplished by the spec-
trometer operator with the help of a second person.
WARNING: Do not attempt to insert or remove the heavy CryoProbe (~12 kg) at
the magnet without the help of a second person. Because your body’s posture is
unfavorable when kneeling down below a magnet, you may easily injure your
back when lifting the CryoProbe on your own!
IMPORTANT: Read "Handling" on page 27
if you’re going to handle a
CryoProbe for the first time.
NOTE: A QNP pneumatic unit is spatially incompatible with a CryoProbe setup
and has to be removed during CryoProbe operation.
Table 3.6. Mount the CryoProbe
step action
m.1 Terminate any NMR experiment and remove sample and probe.
m.2 Set all RF power levels pl and sp to 120 dB (recommended).
m.3 Lower the magnet air suspension.
m.4 Inspect the Mounting Hardware: All four guiding rails must be in place
and fixed tightly (two long vertical bars in the rear and two short ones in
front).
m.5 Prepare the CryoProbe support plate: all five screws should be moved
almost out of the plate.
m.6 Verify without a CryoProbe that the support plate will snap into the
notches on the rails (Figure 3.4.
). Remove it afterwards again.
