2.4.6 Technical Risks
Magnetic Field
WARNING
Risk of damage to persons and property due to not readable signs and
labels.
Signs and labels with advice may become not readable.
Thus:
• Maintain signs and labels in a readable state.
• Replace damaged or not readable signs and labels immediately. New signs and
labels can be obtained from Bruker Service.
WARNING
Risk of damage to life and limb due to high magnetic fields.
A magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) is life-threatening for people with
pacemakers or metal implants. Ferromagnetic tools in the magnetic field are
significantly hazardous. Disks and electronic devices may be damaged. Duration of
exposure (8 h/day) above the limit of 200 mT can cause damage to health.
Thus:
• Mark the magnetic field of more than 0.5 mT (5 Gauss) before start up.
• The workplace must be outside the 0.5 mT area.
• Keep people with pacemakers and metal implants away from the identified area.
• Keep disks, credit cards and electronic devices away from the identified area.
• Do not use ferromagnetic tools or items within the identified area.
• Only use non-ferromagnetic transportation dewars for the cryogenic agents.
• Only use non-ferromagnetic ladders or steps.
