Installing and Moving Sprite
Pre-Installation Requirements
Please follow these conditions when preparing for Sprite's installation:
•must be placed on a flat, level surface,
•footprint is 59" wide by 24" deep,
•weighs 800 lbs,
•should be in a location where it will not be bumped or physically disturbed,
•have a local area network (LAN) Ethernet outlet available (if you choose to network
Sprite),
•and have a dedicated 208-240VAC 50/60Hz electrical circuit.
Sprite is a cabinet X-ray system, consult local and state agencies for specific requirements for X-
ray facilities.
Installation will take place by an IMTEC technician.
Additional Connections
Sprite is equipped to install an external X-ray warning light or signal (the mating connector is
supplied upon delivery). A connection is available on the back of the system that is a Normally
Open contact that closes when X-rays are activated and is rated up to 240VAC and 3 A capacity.
There are two RJ-45 Ethernet ports located and labeled on the back of the system. One is for
connection to an external workstation, and the other for connection to a local area network (if
available).
Sprite has three 2.0 capable USB ports located on the system. They are located on the system as
follows:
•On the front of the cabinet, on the right side just under the top door, to the right of the
Emergency Stop button. This port provides for the easy export/import of scan data (via a
USB flash drive, for instance).
•Two USB ports are located inside the lower Sprite cabinet on the left wall of the top right
shelf. These ports are intended for connecting external USB hard drives only.
Two IEC power sockets are located next to the USB ports inside the lower Sprite cabinet. These
sockets are exclusively intended to supply power to a maximum of two external USB hard drives.
The sockets output the same AC power used to supply the system (208-240VAC 50/60Hz) and
the current capacity is a total of 3 A combined between the two outlets.
Licensing
The IMTEC technician will establish Software licensing during installation and setup.
Moving Sprite
After Sprite has been professionally installed, you may need or want to move the machine. We
encourage you to contact us before doing so.
