Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the vision controller to reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage:
l
The vision controller is intended to be supplied by a NRTL listed power supply with a minimum output rated
24VDC, 5A and must be used with the Cognex-supplied 24VDC power connector. Any other voltage creates a
risk of fire or shock and can damage the components. Wire and connections must be in accordance with these
instructions, the National Electrical Code and applicable national and local wiring standards and rules.
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
Do not install the vision controller in areas directly exposed to environmental hazards such as excessive heat,
dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
l
The system fuse is the only user-serviceable part in this product. The replacement fuse must be a Littelfuse
®
(Part
0217005) or an equivalent UL-recognized fast-blow fuse rated at 5A, low breaking capacity, and 250V. It must
also be rated for DC operation at a voltage of 24VDC or higher. Refer to
for more
information.
l
The vision controller does not contain any other user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical
modifications to the vision controller components. Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty.
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
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
l
Remove power from the vision controller before connecting or disconnecting any cables or the I/O terminal
blocks.
l
The maximum torque that can be applied to the I/O terminal connectors is 0.25 Nm (2.2 in-lb). Applying torque
above this limit can damage the connectors.
l
Remove power from the vision controller before connecting or disconnecting the 24VDC power connector.
l
The maximum torque that can be applied to the 24VDC power connector is 0.6 Nm (5.3 in-lb). Applying torque
above this limit can damage 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.
l
All specifications are for reference purpose only and may be changed without notice.
