Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the Cognex product, to reduce the risk of
injury or equipment damage:
lTo 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.
lChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for regulatory compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
lCable 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 begin at least six inches from the
connector.
lThis device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.
lAll specifications are for reference purpose only and may be changed
without notice.
