Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the Cognex product, to reduce the risk of
injury or equipment damage:
lThe camera is intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed power supply
with a 24VDC output rated for at least 2A continuous, a maximum short
circuit current rating of less than 8A, 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 shockand can damage the components.
Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules must be followed.
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 current wiring or
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.
lDo not expose the image sensor to laser light; image sensors can be
damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light. If your application requires the
use of laser light that may strike the image sensor, a lens filter at the
corresponding laser's wavelength is recommended. Contact your local
integrator or application engineer for suggestions.
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.
