Do not expose the image sensor to laser light. Image sensors can be 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.

Mounting the Vision System The vision system provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface. CAUTION: The vision system has to be grounded, either by mounting the vision system to a fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the vision system’s mounting fixture to frame ground or Earth ground.
Page 26
Note: Mounting the vision system at a slight angle (15°) reduces reflections and improves performance.
Page 27
Connecting the Ethernet Cable CAUTION: The Ethernet cable shield has to 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 has to be used to validate the grounding.
Page 28
Connecting the Power and I/O Breakout Cable CAUTION: To reduce emissions, connect the far end of the Breakout cable shield to frame ground. Note: Perform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the vision system is not receiving power. You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back.
