Installation
Read thissection to learn how the vision system connectsto standard components
and accessories. For a list of options and accessories, contact your Cognex sales
representative.
Note: Cables are sold separately.
CAUTION:All cable connectors are keyed to fit the connectors on the vision
system. Do not force the connections or damage may occur.
Mount the Vision System: Top Housing
1. Align the holeson the mounting surface with the mounting holes on the
vision system.
2. Insert the M4 screws into the top mounting holesand tighten. The maximum
torque is 2.00Nm (17.70in-lb). Do not exceed the maximum insertion depth
of 8 mm for the M4 screws. The maximum insertion depth does not include
the thickness of the mounting material.
3

Connect the Ethernet Cable
CAUTION:The Ethernet cable shield must be grounded at the far end.
Whatever this cable is plugged into (typically a switch or router) should have a
grounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter should be used to validate
the grounding. If the far end device is not grounded, a ground wire should be
added in compliance with local electrical codes.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable's M12 connector to the vision system's ENET
connector.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable’s RJ-45 connector to a switch, router or PC, as
applicable.

Cleaning and maintenance
Thischapter gives an overview about the cleaning and maintenance of the vision
system.
Clean the Housing
To clean the outside of the vision system housing, use a small amount of mild
detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner
on the vision system housing.
CAUTION:Do not attempt to clean any In-Sight product with harsh or
corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or gasoline.

Window Maintenance
The windows of the vision system and laser must be kept clean and free of defectsto
ensure proper operation. Any scratches, dust or dirt will impact the accuracyof
acquired images.
CAUTION:Use care not to damage the anti-reflective coating on the
windows.
Cognex makes the following recommendationsfor cleaning the laser and vision
system windows:
lUnplug the unit so the laser cannot be enabled.
lUse lint-free tissue or an optical grade cotton swab ("Q-tip").
lUse reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol.
lUse minimal pressure.
ll Use several tissues or swabs.
lStart at the center of each window and spiral out to the edges.
lRotate the tissue or swab during cleaning so dirt is not dragged across the
surface.

Laser Safety Warnings
lDo not stare into the beam.
lDo not view directly with optical instruments (magnifiers).
lDo not place optical components (mirrors) into the beam.
lDesign test fixtures in such a way that unintentional viewing of the beam is
prevented.
lSwitch off the laser when not in use.
lAvoid the use of highly reflective materials. If you cannot, try to angle the
part so unintentional viewing of the reflection is prevented.
lTerminate (block) unused beams.
lKeep the laser plane horizontal or pointing downwards.
lReport any issues that may have an impact on laser safety to your
supervisor or Laser Safety Officer.
lThere is no scheduled maintenance necessary to keep the product in
compliance.
lUnder no circumstances should you operate the sensor if it isdefective or
the seal damaged. Cognex Corporation cannot be held responsible for any
harm caused by operating a faulty unit.
lUnder no circumstances should you modify in any way the sensor or its
housing.
lUse of controlsor adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
lWhen moving the unit from a very hot environment to a cold environment
please allow the unit to equalize in a room temperature environment for 2
hours between temperature extremes.

Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions
when you install the Cognex product:
lThe vision system requires a UL or NRTL listed power supplywith a 24VDC
output that meets the following rating requirements:
lAt least 1A continuous current.
lA maximum short circuit current of less than 4A.
lA 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.
lThis product is intended for industrial use in automated manufacturing or
similar applications.
lThe safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of
the assembler of the system.
lDo 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.
lRoute 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.
