It is absolutely essential to check the fans/filters in the decoupler,power
supply, transmitter/receiver module and especially the Aspect 3000
regularly.
I have been repairing Bruker systems for 20 years, and it is my experience
that many faults are caused by fans failing, or filters becoming blocked,
resulting in local over-heating.

You can avoid problems by proper maintenance.
