Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the vision controller to reduce the risk of
injury or equipment damage:
lThe vision controller is intended to be supplied by a NRTLlisted power
supply with a minimum output rated 24VDC, 3.5A 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. Applicable national
and local wiring standards and rules must be followed. Wire and
connections must be in accordance with these instructions, the National
Electrical Code and applicable national and local wiring standards and rules.
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.
lDo not install Cognex products where they are directly exposed to
environmental hazards such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity,
impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static
electricity.
lThe In-Sight vision controller does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do
not make electrical or mechanical modifications to In-Sight vision controller
components. Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty.
lChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for regulatory compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
lService loops should be included with all cable connections.
4

lCable shielding can be degraded or cablescan 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.
lRemove power from the vision controller before connecting or
disconnecting any cables or the I/O terminal blocks.
lThe 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
