# Precautions

To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex product:

- Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage 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.
