Precautions - Cognex In-Sight 5000 Series Installation Manual

Precautions

Observe these precautions when installing the vision system to reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage:
In-Sight 5000 series vision systems are intended to be supplied by a UL or NRTL listed power supply with a
l
24VDC output rated for at least 600 mA continuous and a maximum short circuit current rating of less than 8A and
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 shock and can damage the components. Applicable national and local wiring
standards and rules must be followed.
Do not install In-Sight vision systems where they are directly exposed to environmental hazards such as
l
excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive substances, flammable substances, or static
electricity.
To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power
l
surges, or other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables and wires away from high-voltage power
sources.
The housing of the vision system is internally connected to the system ground wire (pin 8 of the Breakout cable).
l
Therefore, if the mounting surface of the vision system is at a non-zero ground potential, it is strongly
recommended that the vision system be mounted on an isolated or non-conductive mount.
Do not expose the image sensor to laser light; image sensors can be damaged by direct, or reflected, laser light.
l
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.
The In-Sight vision system does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical
l
modifications to In-Sight vision system components. Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void
l
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Service loops should be included with all cable connections.
l
Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out more quickly if a service loop or bend
l
radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter. The bend radius must be at least six inches from the connector.
Class A Equipment (broadcasting and communication equipment for office work): Seller and user shall be
l
notified that this equipment is suitable for electromagnetic equipment for office work (Class A) and can be used
outside the home.
This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
