Regular Tasks and Checks
Bruker recommends to perform the Regular Tasks and Checks  at least in the intervals given.
Object or Function
What is checked
Interval
Water Cooling (primary water)
The correct operation of the primary water supplying the Dual Loop Heat Exchanger (DLHE) with cooling water is a prerequisite for cooling of the MR instrument. Thus, it is recommended for System Owners to check regularly and to maintain the primary cooling water supply as specified.
Continuously
Water Cooling (secondary water)
Check filling state: The secondary water circuits are supported by a water tank in the Dual Loop Heat Exchanger (DLHE). The filling status is supervised by the DLHE. When the threshold is reached, an acoustic alarm as well as a red LED “Refill Tank” is provided at the DLHE. If the filling level drops below a second threshold, LED “Low Level” is turned on and the gradient pump is disabled. Refill water, see Filling Secondary Water Tank.
Check outgoing water tubes for flow (no bending).
Check for leakage / spilling of cooling water.

Software
Archive acquired data.
Check disk space.
Remove non-active user accounts.
Clean up the personal data, protocols, methods, coil configurations, etc.

BMU He level
(BioSpec)
Recording the BMU He level (Hlv) is recommended as regular check. If He level approaches 50%, contact your Bruker SLS office for refill.
Continuously
 
 
BMU Heater Power
(BioSpec)
The BMU Heater power (Hpw) is an indication for correct operation of the refrigerator cold head. Recording is recommended as regular check. If < 10 %, contact your Bruker SLS office.
Continuously
 
 
BMU Batteries
Press the BMU battery check button shortly and activate the menu with F1 followed by F9: Batteries are OK as long as no “battery alarm” occurs and the voltage displayed is > 20V.
Replace batteries, if the check fails, the voltage approaches 20V, or the batteries have not been replaced for 6 months. See Replacing BMU Batteries.
Check monthly and replace latest every 6 months.
QA Phantoms
Check filling state.
Refill with original sample fluids.
Replace liquid and gel phantoms according to expiration date.
