X-Ray & Apollo Space Requirements

This article outlines the minimum space requirements and approved placement configurations for deploying the Athena X-Ray and Apollo units together. Follow these guidelines to ensure proper functionality, safe operation, and adequate power access.

Quick Reference: Unit Dimensions

Use the table below as a fast reference when planning your deployment space.

Power Requirements

Each unit requires its own dedicated power source. Plan outlet placement before installation.

• The red indicator (■) in all diagrams represents a 4-Receptacle Outlet.
• One 4-receptacle outlet is required per unit placement area.
• Ensure the outlet is accessible and not obstructed by the equipment after installation.

Configuration 1: Side-by-Side

In a side-by-side configuration, the X-Ray and Apollo units are placed parallel to each other with a minimum gap of 24 inches between them. This is the most common deployment layout.

Standard (No Accessories)

Both units are placed side by side without rollers or trays attached.

• X-Ray width: 32.4" | Depth: 98.25"
• Apollo width: 40.7" | Depth: 72.83"
• Minimum clearance between units: ≥ 24"

With Rollers & Tray

When rollers and/or a tray are attached to the X-Ray, account for the additional depth they add beyond the unit's base footprint. The same 24" minimum side clearance still applies.

?  Rollers and trays extend the X-Ray's depth beyond its listed 98.25" — ensure your space accommodates the full extended length.

Configuration 2: Staggered Placement

In a staggered configuration, the Apollo is offset from the X-Ray (not directly beside it). This layout allows the Apollo to be positioned as close as 1 inch from the X-Ray, making it ideal for tighter spaces.

?  In all staggered configurations, the X-Ray may be placed directly against the wall. The Apollo must remain at least 1" from the X-Ray.

Standard Staggered

Against Wall (No Tray/Rollers)

The X-Ray can be pushed flush against the wall in this layout. The Apollo remains staggered and maintains the 1" minimum gap.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before placing your units, verify the following:

• Measure the total available floor space and confirm it meets minimum requirements for your chosen configuration.
• Locate and confirm the position of 4-receptacle outlets for both units.
• If using rollers or a tray, account for the additional depth on the X-Ray's input/output sides.
• For staggered placement, ensure there is at least 1" of clearance between the Apollo and X-Ray.
• For side-by-side placement, ensure at least 24" of clearance between units.
• Confirm the wall outlet is reachable from its marked position on the diagram (red indicator).
