3.6.1.1

Safety Labels

Labels are provided on amplifiers to alert operating and service personnel to conditions that
may cause personal injury or damage to the equipment from misuse or abuse. Users should
read the labels and understand their meaning.

Operating  personnel  should  not  remove  RF  output  cables  without  checking  whether  an
experiment is running. To be sure that no RF signal is generated, type 

stop

 on the TopSpin

command line, or click on the 

STOP

 icon in the TopSpin menu bar. When in doubt, turn off

the RF transmitter.

Disconnect the mains power cable before opening the unit to prevent risk of electrical shock.

3.6.2

Emergency Shutoff

In case of an emergency, use the mains switch described in the console 

Emergency Shutoff

[

}

 16]

 to switch off the complete console. The amplifier in AVANCE NEO systems can only be

switched off through the PDU. It is not advised to selectively switch off the amplifier. Instead,
shutdown the console completely. Only if otherwise instructed by Bruker personnel, you may
be guided through a process to selectively shutdown the amplifier.
