Installation of the RF-room
General Notes
The RF-room and floor have to be completed before the magnet arrives at the site. Ensure that the
opening in the RF-room wall allows for easy transportation of the magnet into the room.
The floor has to be level (including the grouting, etc.)

It is recommended to start the installation of the first side panel at the corner located opposite the RFroom door.
The contact surfaces of the RF-gaskets (used with particular designs) should be free of grease.
The nuts should be tightened with the torque specified by the manufacturer.
The RF-integrity of the RF-room must be measured (attenuation 90 dB).
The door contacts cannot be damaged.
The protocols must be filled out and filed with the other protocols (register 9 of the system manual).
NOTICE
The spectroscopy retrofit requires a second filter plate which includes the RF
wave guides for the gradient cables.
Depending on the location of the second filter plate, the gradient cables may
not be long enough. For this reason install the second filter plate in a way,
which allows you to reuse the gradient cables.
CAUTION
MAGNETOM
Dont forget the RF-gaskets while installing the filter plate for the copper-clad
or steel-clad RF-room.

may have to be moved into the computer room before transporting the patient
table, magnet cover, and magnet into the MR suite.
Refer to the examples on the next two pages for further details.
The order of bringing in the system components depends on the location of
the opening for magnet transport plus the space available for magnet positioning.

Installation Prerequisites
Transport Requirements
Ensure that the magnet room is ready and the RF-shielding is installed.
Ensure that the opening to the RF-room is large enough (refer to the Planning Guide).
Verify dimensions of the RF-room opening (height, width; refer to the Planning Guide).
Provide temporary storage for the magnet with sufficient floor load capacity
(refer to the Planning Guide).
Ensure sufficient space for magnet installation (refer to the Planning Guide).
Take into account obstructions due to dropped ceilings, support beams, and columns.
Determine the final magnet location in the RF-room (refer to the Planning Guide).
Verify that the water for the ACCU has been routed to the final location of the ACCU. In this way you
will be able to quickly connect the compressor. This is an important advantage when the magnet has
been shipped cold, and the cold head has to be connected immediately to reduce the boil-off rate.
Rope off the unloading zone to prevent injury to onlookers.

Avoid blocking emergency or other vital access routes to the hospital.
Stay within traffic regulations. If necessary, get in touch with the hospital administration.
Only a licensed carrier should transport the magnet to the site and into the magnet room.

Procedure
NOTICE
This procedure should be performed only by trained personnel, wearing protective clothing.
Check that the shut-off valve at the quench valve is in the closed position (handle is at right angles to
the valve axis.)
Remove the VW25KF blank from the end of the shut-off valve and connect the valve to the site
venting.
Ensure that the pipes used are supported and not left to hang on the connections alone. If the site
venting is not installed, run the pipes to atmosphere outside the MR suite.
NOTICE
Helium gas should not be allowed to vent into the MR suite or any other
closed room.
To minimize the amount of helium lost, open the shut-off valve slowly to approximately 15
degrees from the closed position and monitor the pressure gauge.
Helium gas should now be heard escaping. The vent line will cool in a few minutes until it
becomes very cold.
NOTICE
Do not come in contact with cold components. Do not smoke or use open
flames.
When the pressure indicated on the gauge has dropped to 5 psi, the valve opening should be
gradually increased until fully open.
Open the depressurization valve.
NOTICE
The following operations should be performed quickly to prevent air from

entering the system.
Allow the system to depressurize until the vent line has thawed, indicating the system is now at
atmospheric pressure.
Remove the bursting disk assembly from the end of the quench valve and connect the site venting to
the quench valve.
Remove the 30 psia valve assembly and replace it with the stopper rod (baffle assembly) which is
packed in the accessories case.
Replace the 2 bar pressure gauge with the 1/3 psi gauge which is packed in the accessories case.

Procedure
NOTICE
This procedure should only be carried out by trained personnel, wearing protective clothing.
Ensure DCL Baffle is on hand prior to carrying out this procedure.
Remove the blanking plug (A) from the end of the depressurisation line. There may be a small release
of gas, but there should not be a continuous flow. If there is, cap off the tube and call the Oxford
Service Department, since there may be a fault with the quench valve. Do not proceed further since
this might allow air to enter the system.
Assuming there is no flow refit blank (A) and remove the large blanking flange (B) from the end of the
quench valve and connect the site venting to the quench valve.
NOTICE
Helium gas should not be allowed to vent into the imaging suite or any closed
room.
Open the depressurisation valve (C).
NOTICE
Do not touch the cold parts. Smoking and naked lights are forbidden.
Allow the system to depressurise until the depressurisation line has thawed, indicating that the
system is now at atmospheric pressure.
NOTICE
The following operation should be done quickly to prevent air entering the
system.
Remove the 13 psig valve (F) assembly and and replace it with the current lead baffle assembly
which is packed in the accessories case.
Remove the 16 psia valve (D) from the 1/3 psig valve (E), remove blank (A) from the Tee, connect the
Tee to the 1/3 psig valve and close the depressurisation valve (C). The system will now pressurise to
its normal operating pressure, 1/3 psi.
Pack the remove parts and return them to the Oxford Service Department for re-use.

Determining the temperature
General
The magnet is usually shipped cold. However, the magnet may warm when it is shipped to certain
countries or when it is in transport or storage for an extended period of time.
For that reason, the temperature of the helium vessel should be determined as quickly as possible
after the magnet arrives at the customer site.
The temperature of the helium vessel is measured via the three carbon temperature sensors in the
helium vessel.
If the magnet is still cold, that is, the vessel contains liquid helium, the temperature can be maintained
if you refill the magnet immediately with liquid helium. You will not only save time, you will also save a
great deal of money.
However, should the magnet have warmed, you have to pump down the vacuum and fill it with helium
again.
Refer to the next page for instructions on how to measure the temperature as well as on how to determine the threshold between a warm and a cold magnet.

Fig. 14 Adjustment for the tableguide
Place the table guide (with the adjustment bolts already installed) onto the front and rear
table support. Use the M10X20mm allen screws with the large brass washers to fix the
table guide to the supports. Align the table guide as shown in Fig.14 .
In the vertical, the upper platform of the table guide has to be completely flush with the
triangular surface of the funnel. In the x-direction, the table guide has to be positioned
symmetrically to the gradient coil (guide rails). In the z-direction, the front of the table guide
has to lie against the front panel.
Adjust the back panel.
The guide rails define the upper distance from the front panel to the back panel. The exact
position of the back panel is determined by the back funnel. Ensure that the funnel is symmetric with the gradient coil in the x-direction.

Lighting in the patient tunnel
The tunnel lighting consists of a light bar which is part of the inside covering for the AS 25 coil. The light
generated in the light box by the Halogen lamp (at the back panel of the magnet) is distributed via a
large number of individual fiber optic cables.
CAUTION
Handle the black corrugated hose with care during the installation process.
The hose contains the highly fragile fiber optic cables.

Installation of the filter plate
To provide the service engineer with enough room, the RF filter plate together with the RFCC should
not be installed in the immediate vicinity of the magnet. In addition, a more cost-effective cover can be
selected for the RFCC.
In a modular RF-room, the filter plate can be installed directly in the recess provided for that purpose.
In a conventional RF-room the filter plate can be installed directly as well, as long as the RF integrity is
maintained. However, we recommend the use of a filter frame (refer to chapter 3 Components in Register 1 and to chapter 1 'RF-shielding' in Register 4 of this manual).
Install the RF filter plate (56 screws M10).

Installation of ACCU (Air Compressor Chiller Unit)
General Description/Subsystems
The ACCU cabinet is an essential component for the operation of the high performance gradient
system within the MAGNETOM magnetic resonance imaging system. Because of the heavy heat
dissipation of the gradient coil, the currently used air cooling had to be substituted by water cooling. In
addition to the water cooler, the cabinet also contains the helium compressor for the cold head of the
magnet and an air compressor for driving the pneumatic RF switches within the system.
