General Safety Instructions

Before operating the instrument, review the following safety precautions to avoid

injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it.

Service procedures should be performed by qualied personnel only!

Do Not Operate Without Covers! To avoid electric shock or re hazard, do

not operate this product with covers or panels removed.

Do Not Operate in Wet or Damp Conditions! To avoid electric shock, do not

operate this product in wet or damp conditions.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere! To avoid injury or re hazard,

do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.

Do Not Disconnect Connectors! To avoid damage of the instrument never

disconnect any connector while the device is ON.

Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures! If you suspect there is damage to

this product, have it inspected by qualied service personnel.

Ground The Instrument! The instrument is grounded through the Protective

Earth lead of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, it is essential to connect

the earth terminal of power cord to the Protective Earth terminal before any

inputs or outputs.

Do Not Insert Anything into the Holes of Fan! Do not insert anything into

the holes of the fan to avoid damaging the instrument.

PUMA – User Manual General Safety Instructions

Use Proper Power Cord! To avoid re hazard, use only the power cord spec-

ied for this product.

Check Connectors! Do not operate the instrument if all connectors are not

properly plugged.

Heavy instrument! Due to the weight of the instrument it is strongly rec-

ommended to manipulate it with assistance of another person.

Use Proper Mains Voltage! Do not operate this product from a power source

that is outside of the specied voltage range.

Use Proper Fuses Only! Do not use fuses which are not specied by the

manufacturer. If a fuse with a different characteristics or value is used, the

protection is not effective.

Operator’s Training! Operator should be familiar with operation of the in-

strument and Safety Regulations.

Use Manufacturer’s Cables Only! Other devices can be connected to the

instrument via the appropriate cables only.

Do not drop the product and do not expose it to any major shocks!

Do not operate the product outside the power limits given in the speci-

cations!

Keep the packaging material out of the reach of children to prevent the

risk of suffocation!

Unstable or highly disturbed AC power may invoke safety circuits to protect

the sensitive electronic parts by switching OFF the instrument or burning

inner fuses.

Dispose of packaging material immediately according to locally applica-

ble regulations. However, it is recommended to keep the shipping box

and inner foams in case of necessity to send the instrument to AGICO for

repair.

PUMA – User Manual General Safety Instructions

Storage and Transportation

The properly wrapped instrument can be stored and transported at a tempera-

ture -20 ◦C to + 55 ◦C and relative humidity up to 80 %. The instrument must be

stored at suitable place, free of dust and chemical evaporation. Handle with care!

Instrument is heavy.

PUMA – User Manual PUMA Introduction

1 PUMA Introduction

The PUMA is designed as a precise high eld impulse magnetizer. Inner diame-

ter of magnetization coil is 41 mm which allows to magnetize standard-sized pa-

leomagnetic specimens in any orientation. PUMA enables to impart isothermal

remanent magnetization (IRM) to specimens in the wide range of intensities of

magnetic elds from 1 mT up to 5 T. The elaborate design of the instrument pro-

vides precise setting of the pulse intensity as well as high homogeneity of the eld

over the entire specimen volume.

1.1 Principle of operation

PUMA uses the well-known principle of charging high quality foil capacitors de-

signed for pulsed discharge and then discharging them into a magnetizing coil.

The principal schematics of the instrument is shown on Fig. 1.

The control of the entire magnetization process by the microprocessor ensures

precise pulse triggering at voltage which is calculated with respect to the desired

pulse intensity and the instantaneous temperature of the magnetizing coil. Ac-

counting for the coil temperature signicantly improves the repeatability of the

eld strength. A number of safety features as well as oversized high grade electri-

cal components ensure the safety and reduce the likelihood of serious malfunction

or damage.
