Preamble
1General Information
The basic requirements for planning CT systems may be identical for some systems inde-
pendent of the version model.
To simplify handling, the CT System Planning Guide (CT System PG) was created spe-
cifically for each CT system.1 Accordingly, the enclosed CT Basic Planning Guide (CT
Basic PG) was established. This guide includes all basic as well as common requirements
necessary for planning CT systems independent of version or model.
The contents of the CT System PGs are limited to the technically required information
depending on the system used. Its transparency for the Planner and Project Manager facil-
itates planning activities.
1. The CT System PG is the planning guide that specifies the “specific requirements for CT project plan-
ning” for the respective CT model.

General Information 7
Safety Information 1.1
Please observe the following safety information during planning:

• Both the technical documentation "Project Planning" as well as "Installation Instruc-
tions" are binding documents for planning, installing and starting-up CT systems. They
ensure both safe installation as well as safe system operation.
• Deviations or changes without prior consultation and release through the CT product
division are prohibited.
• The project managers and the installation managers of the various countries are
responsible for adhering to the data provided in the Planning Guide and in the Installa-
tion Instructions.

cal safety. In Germany, essentially the following standard of
the VDE 0100-710 category is applied.
Power supply lines 1 The on-site electrical installation requires power supply up to all
components of the CT system according to the respective coun-
try regulations (e.g.VDE, IEC, UL).
Line voltage To ensure fail-safe operation, we recommend running the line
voltage directly from the in-house transformer to the power dis-
tributor.

distributor to the power distribution panel of the CT system.
Line impedance Maintain the values!
Loop impedance Check the values.
1. Refer to the following note.
NOTE Other consumers such as X-ray, MR, and CT systems, eleva-

tor motors, heating and air conditioning systems, or lighting,
cannot be connected to the line voltage.

Line voltage connection - on-site requirements of the manufacturer 0
Tab. 7 Line voltage connection - on-site requirements of the manufacturer
Type of line Only symmetrical TN or TT supply voltages are acceptable (neutral
connected to ground).
For TT supply voltage, a residual current protection device (RCD)
must be installed.
NOTE:
Connecting a CT system to an IT supply voltage is prohibited.
If only an IT supply voltage is available, a pre-transformer must
be used.
The pre-transformer must be connected primarily to the IT sup-
ply voltage and must generate on the secondary side a TT or a
TN supply voltage.
The required power value of the pre-transformer depends on
the power consumption of the individual CT system and is
shown in the CT System PG; refer to the corresponding CT
System PG.

switch (EPO) tions.
If you do not have detailed specifications in your country regulations,
the device(s) shall be installed in such a way, that it (they) can be
easily recognized and effectively and rapidly operated.
After the system has been switched off via the EPO-switch, the CT
system, including all of its components, has to remain without power
until the main power line is switched on intentionally again.
Protect the EPO-switch against unintentionally switching on the
main power line after it has been switched off, e.g. by means of a key
operated switch.

Function Use
Swiveling out During standard transport.
Swiveling in The transport width can be reduced when mov-
ing through narrow passages during transport.
Transport with the rollers swivelled in is permissible only
when narrow places make it impossible to transport the sys-
tem with the rollers swivelled out.
Tipping hazard!
¹ As soon as the system has passed through narrow
passages, the transport rollers must be swivelled out
again.
Transport weights 0

Floor load during transport 0
Design access floors for a weight capacity of min. 400 kg per slab/plate. During gantry
transport, the load may be higher at certain individual points (3-point load, e.g. due to
uneven flooring).
NOTE If necessary, cover the transport routes with metal sheets for
load distribution.
