Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following
precautions when you install the Cognex product:lConnectivity is possible through the following options:l
24 VDC (+/- 10%) output connection using a UL or NTRL listed
power supply
Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or shock and can damage thecomponents. Applicable national and local wiring standards and rules mustbe followed.

lThis product is intended for industrial use in automated manufacturing or
similar applications.
The safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of
the assembler of the system.
Do 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.
Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage
power sources to reduce the risk of damage or malfunction from thefollowing causes: over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD),
power surges, or other irregularities in the power supply.
Do not expose the image sensor to laser light. Image sensors can bedamaged by direct, or reflected, laser light. If your application requires
laser light that might strike the image sensor, use a lens filter at thecorresponding laser wavelength. For suggestions, contact your local
integrator or application engineer.

Mounting the Reader
The reader provides mounting holes for attachment to a mounting surface.

24

CAUTION: The reader has to be grounded, either by mounting the reader toa fixture that is electrically grounded or by attaching a wire from the mounting
fixture of the reader to frame ground or Earth ground. If a ground wire is used,
it has to be attached to one of the mounting points on the bottom plate of thereader and not to the mounting points on the front of the reader.
Note: The mounting kits do not include nuts for attaching the bracket to theframe.

Mounting with Pivot Bracket
1. Align the pivot mounting bracket with the reader.
2. Insert the screws into the mounting pilot holes and tighten them.
Note: Apply a maximum of 0.4 Nm torque when tightening thescrews.
3. Place the reader on a mounting surface and tighten the screws.

Mounting with U-shaped Bracket for HPIT
1. Attach the pivot bracket to the frame.
2. Insert the rotation axis screws without fully tightening them.
3. Slide the reader into the mounting bracket through the central slot.
4. Apply the chosen rotation angle by inserting a screw into one of the preset
holes or to the sliding slot on the mounting bracket.

25

5. Tighten the mounting screws.
Note: Apply a maximum of 5 Nm torque when tightening the screws.

26

Connection Options
This section summarizes connection options.

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 agrounded Ethernet connector. A digital voltmeter has to 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 M12 connector of the Ethernet cable to the green ENET0
connector of the reader.

2. Connect the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable to a switch, router, orPC.

27

Connecting the Power and I/O Breakout Cable
CAUTION: To reduce emissions, connect the far end of the Breakout cableshield to frame ground.
Note:
l

l

Perform wiring or adjustments to I/O devices when the reader is notreceiving power.
You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive
material to tie them back. Keep bare wires separated from the +24 V
DC wire.

1. Verify that the 24 V DC power supply is unplugged and not receiving
power.
2. Attach the +24 V DC connector of the Power and I/O Breakout cable and
Ground wires to the corresponding terminals on the power supply. For
more information, see Specifications on page 31.
3. Attach the M12 connector of the Power and I/O Breakout Cable to the 24 V
DC connector of the reader.
4. Restore power to the 24 V DC power supply and turn it on if necessary.

Powering the Integrated Illumination
You can power the integrated illumination either internally or externally.

Internal PowerUse the integrated illumination connector on the front of the reader.
For more information on how to connect the illumination to the reader, see Installing
Manual Lens with HPIT or Installing High Speed Liquid Lens with HPIT.

28

External Power
Connect an external power supply to the external power connector on the back of
the illumination.
Observe the following measures when using external power for the illumination:l

Use a separate power supply rated for 24 V and 2 A.

lConnect the illumination to the front of the reader before powering on either
the reader or external illumination connector.

l

Use a cable for connecting the illumination to the PSU with an M12connector that conforms to the following pinout:
