Cleaning or Moving the System Components
Cleaning/Liquid Entry
Clean the exterior of the scanner by wiping with a damp, soft cloth.
Moving the Quantum Quantum GX2 microCT
Power Considerations
Power Sources
The Quantum GX2 microCT is configured for the voltage requirements of the installation locality
that was specified at the time of order. If the Quantum GX2 microCT is moved to another area, make
sure that the same voltage requirements exist.
Intended to be powered by a standard wall receptacle (Overvoltage Category II).
Power Cord Protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay close attention to receptacles and to points of connection between
cords and equipment.
Do not replace the power cord provided with inadequately rated nor uncertified replacement. The
power cord's plug at the wall or the AC inlet at the rear of the system should remain accessible after
installation, to allow disconnection of power should it be needed for safe servicing.
VOLTAGE! Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners and never spill liquid of any kind on
any of the Quantum GX2 microCT components. Sprays and liquids that come into
contact with the Quantum GX2 microCT hardware may result in damage to the system
or electrocution. For more details on proper care of the system, see Cleaning the
Quantum GX2 microCT on page 81
WARNING! Only PerkinElmer employees are authorized to move the Quantum GX2
microCT Imaging System.

WARNING! The Quantum GX2 microCT can operate at multiple voltages, such as
120V, 230V, or 240V, with the factory setting marked on the imaging system label.
However, you are not permitted to change the input voltage to any of the system
components. Several internal modifications are required for voltage change. If the
operating voltage must be changed, contact PerkinElmer technical support.
