Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage when you install the Cognex
product, observe the following precautions:
The vision system requires a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a 24VDC
l
output and meets the following rating requirements:
At least 2A continuous current.
l
A maximum short circuit current of less than 8A.
l
A maximum power of less than 100VA and marked as a Limited
l
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.
Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage
l
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.
Do not install Cognex products where they are exposed to environmental
l
hazards such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration,
corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
Do not expose the image sensor to laser light. Image sensors can be
l
damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light. If your application requires laser
light that might strike the image sensor, use a lens filter at the corresponding
laser wavelength. For suggestions, contact your local integrator or
application engineer.
