Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the vision system to reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage:
l
In-Sight 5000 series vision systems are intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a
24VDC output rated for at least 600 mA continuous and a maximum short circuit current rating of less than 8A and
a maximum power rating of less than 100VA and marked Class 2 or Limited Power Source (LPS). 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
Do not install In-Sight vision systems where they are directly exposed to environmental hazards such as
excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static
electricity.
l
To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power
surges, or other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables and wires away from high-voltage power
sources.
l
The housing of the vision system is internally connected to the system ground wire (pin 8 of the Breakout cable).
Therefore, if the mounting surface of the vision system is at a non-zero ground potential, it is strongly
recommended that the vision system be mounted on an isolated or non-conductive mount.
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 the use of laser light that may strike the image sensor, a lens filter at the
corresponding laser's wavelength is recommended. Contact your local integrator or application engineer for
suggestions.
l
The In-Sight vision system does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical
modifications to In-Sight vision system components. Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty.
l
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
l
Service loops should be included with all cable connections.
l
Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out more quickly if a service loop or bend
radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter. The bend radius must be at least six inches from the connector.
l
Class A Equipment (broadcasting and communication equipment for office work): Seller and user shall be
notified that this equipment is suitable for electromagnetic equipment for office work (Class A) and can be used
outside the home.
l
This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
