Precautions

Observe these precautions when installing the Cognex product, to reduce the risk of

injury or equipment damage:

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-voltage power

sources.

lChanges or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible

for regulatory compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

lCable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out

more quickly if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the cable

diameter. The bend radius must begin at least six inches from the

connector.

lThis device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this

manual.

lAll specifications are for reference purpose only and may be changed

without notice.
