Appendix C System Shutdown
PerkinElmer does not recommend power cycling the Quantum GX2 micro CT (turning the system
components on and off). If it is necessary to shut down the scanner for any reason, it is important to
follow the procedure below.
1. Make sure that all processes are finished. Confirm that the gantry and sample bed are not moving.
2. Close the Control Panel and Database window. If prompted, save any data.
3. Turn off the computer using the standard Windows
®
shut down procedure.
This also shuts down the Quantum GX2 micro CT scanner.
4. Turn off the power to the other system components and power surge protection devices.
If you have any concerns during the shut down procedure, please contact PerkinElmer technical
support (see page 4) for assistance.
NOTE: The Emergency Stop button is not intended as a main X-ray source control and should not
be used to turn the X-ray function ON or OFF on a routine basis. It should only be used in the
unlikely situation where the X-ray source must be immediately turned OFF.
