Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex
product:
l
The In-Sight vision system is intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a 24VDC output
rated for at least 2A 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
According to IEC 62471, the white ring light is in Risk Group 1; it is not recommended to stare directly into the
illumination LEDs when the vision system is receiving power. According to IEC 62471, the blue ring light is in
Risk Group 2; CAUTION – Possibly hazardous optical radiation emitted from this product. Do not stare at
operating light. May be harmful to the eyes. The green ring light, the red ring light and the Infrared (IR) ring light
are Exempt Group products, therefore no precautions are required.
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
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
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
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
l
Include service loops with cable connections.
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 should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
