If you experience a serious equipment fault (system overheating, smoke, or odor associated with the system) or hazards such as fire/water in the vicinity of the MR equipment, you may need to perform a system shut down with the Emergency Off button. The entire MR system is turns OFF with this button, except for the static magnetic field and the Magnet Rundown Unit used to shut down the magnetic field.
Use this procedure to perform an emergency shut down on your system during an equipment or environmental emergency.
Step-by-step instructions
Press the Emergency Off button located on the wall next to the computer equipment or next to the magnet room door.
This stops power to the magnet room, removing all electrical power from all components of the system.
This button also removes any power sources from UPS devices.
The Emergency Off button does not turn off the magnetic field. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, do not bring any ferromagnetic equipment into the magnet room. Assume that equipment is magnetic unless it is clearly labeled otherwise.
