
Keep all iron, nickel, and other ferromagnetic objects at least 5 m (16.5 ft.) from the dewar.
Large magnets, such as superconducting magnets, can attract iron and other ferromagnetic
materials with great force.
 Never attempt to install, remove, or handle the VSM linear motor transport when there is a
field set in the cryostat or in any other nearby equipment. In addition, the VSM linear motor
transport must be secured when it is stored within 5 m (16.5 ft.) of the cryostat or any other
large field source. The VSM linear motor transport presents a considerable hazard in a large
magnetic field such as that produced by the cryostat or other laboratory equipment such as an
NMR magnet, as the linear motor transport contains nearly 9 kg of iron.
1.6.4 Electricity
W A R N I N G !
The VSM is powered by nominal voltages between 100 V to 240 V AC. These
voltages are potentially lethal, so you should exercise appropriate care before
opening any of the electronics units, including turning off the equipment and
disconnecting it from its power source.
 Turn off and unplug all electronic equipment before removing any equipment covers.
 Keep electrical cords in good working condition and replace frayed and damaged cords.
 Keep liquids away from the workstations.
