Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex
product:
l The vision system requires a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a 24VDC output that meets the following rating
requirements:
l At least 1A continuous current.
l A maximum short circuit current of less than 4A.
l A maximum power of less than 50VA and marked as a Limited Power Source (LPS) or National Electrical
Code (NEC) Class 2.
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 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 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 The vision system’s M/S connectors are not supported.
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.
