Summary

Sample Eject (Lift) Problems

Sample Lift Air Flow

Check sample lift airflow speed and pressure for proper sample ejection. Adjustments may be needed.

Sample Holder Tray Slamming

Sample holder tray slams when advancing, possibly due to excessive sample lift air.

Light Barrier

Light barrier slows sample lift. Use control modifier cable to disengage.

Seals

Four seals are crucial to prevent sample lift air leaks. Ensure proper installation.

Seating of the Adapter Collar

Verify the adapter collar is correctly seated on the BST shim stack.

Alignment of Collar, Seal Ring and Interface Tube

Proper alignment of the adapter collar, seal ring, and interface tube is critical.

Sample Lift Air Bypass

Check the pneumatic cylinder for correct closing of the air bypass exit hole.

Interface Tube Inside the Adapter Collar

Ensure correct seating and alignment of the interface tube within the adapter collar.

Sample Insert (Down) Problems

NMR Case or Magnet Not Level

Ensure the NMR Case is horizontal and the shim stack is vertical.

BST Shim Stack With Sharp Edges

Check BST shim stack for sharp edges on sample insertion points; file or replace if found.

Sample Lift Air Bypass

Verify correct opening and closing of the sample lift air bypass for proper insertion.

Too Much Sample Lift Air Flow

Excessive sample lift airflow can cause slow insertion. Reduce airflow as needed.

Sample Holder Tray Does Not Advance Firmly

Adjust flow reducers to ensure the sample holder tray advances and stops firmly.

Alignment of Adapter Collar, Seal Ring and Brown Interface Tube

Check alignment as described in section 1.6.

Interface Tube Inside the Adapter Collar

Check interface tube as described in section 1.8.

Sample Holder Tray Does Not Advance

Manual Removal or Manual Mode Use

Reset sample tracking memory after manual sample removal or use of manual mode.

Increase Airflow

Increase pneumatic piston airflow by adjusting flow reducers #1, 2, 3, 4.

Motion Controller LED Sequence

Observe motion controller LED sequences for diagnostic purposes.

Check I-0 Status

Verify I-0 is ON when the sample is on the tray for proper rotation.

Check I-3 and I-0 Sequence

Ensure I-3 is ON before I-0 for correct sample lift airflow during ejection.

The Motion Controller Does Not Work

Controller Placement

Ensure the controller is at least 2 meters away from the magnet dewar cryostat.

Opening the Motion Controller

Procedure to open the motion controller cover for inspection and access.

Initial LED Sequence

Observe initial LED status on motion controller startup for diagnostics.

LED Status Two Seconds After Switching On

Check LED status two seconds after motion controller power-on.

LED Status Four Seconds After Switching On

Check LED status four seconds after motion controller power-on.

Reset Switch Check

Press the RESET switch if O-3 LED is green to reset sample insertion memory.

Power Cord and Fuse Check

Check power cord and fuse if no lights are observed on the controller.

Motion Controller Replacement

Replace motion controller if initial LEDs are missing or a red light persists.

Sensor Input Check

Test sensor inputs by blowing into them and checking corresponding LEDs.

Controller Switching and Output

Observe outputs CYL A and CYL B behavior during controller switching.

Sample Holder Tray Slams Samples When Advancing

Adapter Collar Cannot Be Removed From BST Upper Stack

Adapter Collar Does Not Fit to Shim Stack

The NMR Case Does Not Fit

Sample Spin Rate Goes Up to 150 Hz

Spin Rate Cable Check

Unplug and replug the spin rate cable connector at the BST shim stack.

BSMS Sample Control Modifier Cable

Remove the BSMS sample control modifier cable B1428 for testing.

Spin Rate Settings

Check the sample spin rate settings for proper configuration.
