Space and Table Requirements
The ImageXpress Pico system requires a sturdy table or lab bench with a weight rating of at
least 50kg (110.2lb).
Note:
With no options, the instrument weighs 38kg (83.8lb).
With the optional environmental control system, the instrument weighs 40kg
(88.2lb).
We recommend that the table or lab bench be at least 94cm (37.0in.) wide by 61cm (24.0in.)
deep. Additional space or a separate table is required for the host computer.
The front and the top of the instrument must be accessible to allow access to the objectives,
filter cubes, and the stage holder. In addition, you must maintain 20cm to 30cm (7.9in. to
11.8in.) of clearance at the rear of the instrument to ensure sufficient ventilation and provide
access for disconnecting power from the instrument.
Most low-magnification applications will tolerate non-optical tables that can be purchased from
vendors specializing in industrial furniture, including:
Ergotron (www.ergotron.com/en-us/anthro)
RDM (www.rdm-ind.com)
SteelSentry (www.steelsentry.com)
See Instrument Specifications on page 65 for details on instrument dimensions.
Power Requirements
Consider the following power requirements:
Direct connections to all international supply voltages are available.
The instrument requires an input voltage range from 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 4
amps maximum at 115 VAC.
Fluctuations must be within 10% of the nominal voltage.
When using a power strip, connect the computer and monitor to a different power strip
than the instrument.
To limit the risk of interruption during power loss, use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to
provide backup power and power line conditioning for the instrument and computer.
The power requirements for individual components are listed below. To determine the power
consumption (in watts) for the ImageXpress Pico system, add the power requirements of all
applicable components. For example, the power consumption of a typical system with a
monitor is 452 watts (that is, 200 + 200 + 52).
