Emergency stop
In the event of an emergency it is possible to block the radio frequency
impulses and the generation of the magnetic field as described below:
☛
Via software: click with the right mouse button on Output o Scan in the
user interface and select Abort o All in the context menu displayed: all
scans will be interrupted
☛
by turning off the main switch at the front of the computer
☛
by turning off the wall-mounted main switch. In this case the
equipment is completely de-activated and therefore the thermal control is
also turned off; to re-activate the equipment it is necessary to turn on the
mains switch and the system switch and wait for the magnet to return to
its working temperature.
If the system remains disconnected from the power supply for a
prolonged interval, the user must wait for the magnet to heat completely
before the system is ready to operate. The waiting time depends on the
starting temperature, but in any event could take a number of hours.
In all cases listed above the Scout sequence is interrupted and partially
acquired data are no longer available.
N o t e
If the emergency stop procedures requiring deactivation of a switch
are used, the file system may be damaged and data, images or
programs may be lost.
