We propose a fast algorithm to energise a cryogen free magnet to a highly persistent state. A decay rate as low as 0.021 ​ppm/h can be achieved in less than an hour after reaching the target field. The decay rate drops further to 0.0004 ​ppm/h in the following 48 ​h. This procedure can be applied at different values of target field, which makes it feasible to use a single magnet for study of various NMR lines at different fields. The mechanism of establishing a highly stable magnetic field can be understood on the basis of the magnetic properties of the superconducting wire, which were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer. The results confirm the high quality of the superconducting wire and joints.
