Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex
product:
l
This device requires the use of an LPS or NEC class 2 power supply. Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or
shock and can damage the components. Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules must be
followed.
l
Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage power sources to reduce the risk of
damage or malfunction from the following causes: over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power
surges, or other irregularities in the power supply.
l
This product is intended for industrial use in automated manufacturing or similar applications.
l
The safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
l
Do not install Cognex products where they are exposed to environmental hazards such as excessive heat, dust,
moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
l
Do not expose the image sensor to laser light. Image sensors can be damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light.
If your application requires laser light that might strike the image sensor, use a lens filter at the corresponding
laser wavelength. For suggestions, contact your local integrator or application engineer.
l
This product does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to
product components. Unauthorized modifications can void your warranty.
l
Include service loops with cable connections. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for regulatory compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
l
Ensure that the cable bend radius begins at least six inches from the connector. Cable shielding can be
degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out faster if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the
cable diameter.
l
This device is certified for office use only and if used at home, there can be frequency interference problems.
l
This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
l
Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules must be followed.
l
All specifications are for reference purposes only and can change without notice.
