Electric Emergency

In case of an electric emergency, for example electric shock or short circuit, proceed as follows to put the instrument out of operation:

  1. Turn the rotary switch at the electronic ON/OFF Switch counter-clockwise in OFF position. The instrument is powered off immediately. However, voltages remain present in the cabinets in the Technical Room.
  2. Then, turn the Mains Disconnect at the Line Power Distributor (LPD) counter-clockwise to OFF to disconnect the instrument from mains.

NOTICE
The magnetic field remains present even when the instrument is disconnected from mains.
  • The electronic ON/OFF Switch does not switch off the magnetic field and leaves dedicated components related to the magnet electrically active.
  • The Mains Disconnect at the Line Power Distrubutor (LPD) disconnects the instrument from mains, but still the strong magnetic field remains!
  1. In case of emergency with regard to the strong magnetic field, use the Magnet Emergency Quench.
