Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex
product:
l
The reader 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
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 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
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.
l
All specifications are for reference purposes only and can change without notice.
