Starting up and shutting down the MR
system
There are three operating modes:
◾ System On (full operation)
All MR system components are switched on. Examinations may be
performed.
◾ System Off (system is not working)
All MR system components except magnet and cooling are
switched off.
◾ Standby (standby operation)
Only the host computer is switched on. Standby is useful for
patient evaluations on the computer after performing an
examination.
The operating modes can be selected by pressing the corresponding
button on the alarm box or by using the System Manager in the
syngo MR software. See: Software operator manual
Additionally a main circuit breaker is located in the control room
which should NOT be used during proper functioning of the MR
system. It switches off the overall system including cooling, which
leads to helium boil-off.
