NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. As part of its’
normal operation this device can generate radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the installation manual may cause
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur on a
particular installation. If the device does cause
interference to radio or television reception the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
1) Fit Ferrite beads on all cable to and from the power
supply box, within the box walls.
2) Route the composite cable between the camera and
the power supply in steel conduit piping over the entire
run of the cable up to and including connection to a
deep conduit base fitted under the camera and a conduit
fitting adaptor in the wall of the PSU box.
3) Contact BOSCH Service Center for further advice.
The EX12LED Infrared LED Illuminator
provides night-time covert lighting for short
range indoor and outdoor surveillance when
used in conjunction with existi ng or newly
installed monochrome cameras. Its compac t
cube shape is comprised of 42 LEDs mounted
into a solid core CNC machined aluminum
housing and beamed through a dark-tinted
tough wind ow.
The EX12LED has an effective rang e up to
40 feet and is available in 850nm or 940nm
with 30º or 60º beam spread.
A voltage regulator circuit allows for 12-24ac/dc
a range operation; also providing protection from
voltage surge, transient spikes, and reverse
voltage.
The EX12LED is available in several models
designed to meet specific needs.

INITIAL PREPARATIONS
The EX12LED operates in either Vdc or
Vac mode. The power input supply voltages
can be 12-24VAC/DC
See Section 2, Input Power Connections –
Reference On ly.
Determine the optimum location for the
Illuminator unit.
See Section 3, Mounting-Illuminator Unit.
All units have been tested prior to shipm ent,
but it is advisable to check the unit’s
operation before installation.
GUIDELINES
The installation and set-u p of the EX12LED is
explained in Sections 3 and 4.
It is important that these steps are followed in
sequence:

3. MOUNTING - ILLUMINATOR UNIT
Select a suitable location that is protected from
accidental damage, tampering, and
environmental conditions exceeding the LED’s
specifications.
Caution: The selected mounting location should
not place the camera in a situation wh ere its
environmental specificat ions could be exceeded.
See page 17. Ensure the selected location is
protected from falling objects, accidental contact
with moving objects, and unintentional
interference from personnel. Follow all applicable
building codes.
The following installation guidelines must
be followed:
Locate the camera such that it cannot be
easily interfered with, either intentionally or
accidentally.
Select a mounting surface capable of
supporting the combined weight of the
camera and mounting hardware under all
expected conditions of vibration and
temperature.

Secure all cabling.
Installations on drywall must use a ¼” bolt
and drywall butterfly type anchor or superior
connection.
The EX12LED can be mounted to any flat
surface. The su pplied “U” shaped mounti n g
bracket allows for tilt as well as rotation. If this
mounting brac ke t do es not suit the needs of the
installation, the installer can utilize either of the
two ¼-20 camera-mount holes located in the
housing (see Figure 1-3 on page 6). The choice
of camera-type mounting brackets is left to the
installer.
Step 3.1 - Mount the “U” br acket to the chosen
mounting surfa ce and attach the
EX12LED with the supplied
adjustment scre ws.
See Figure 3-1 on page 10.
Step 3.2 - Tighten the EX12LED into its
approximate viewing direction.
Proceed to Section 4.

5. ILLUMINATOR UNIT RE-ASSEMBLY
Make sure the input power wi res are properly
connected a nd ti g htened into the term in al b l ock,
all holes are sealed against moisture penetration
and all mounting screws are tight.
Step 5.1 - Check the gaske t attached to the
rear cover plate has not been
dislodged or warped.
Step 5.2 - Gently pres s t h e rear cover into
place, making sure the gasket is
properly seated and the photocell is
centered in its viewing windo w.
See Figure 5-1 on page 14.
Step 5.3 - Attach the rear cover to the ho using.
Step 5.4 - Ensure the pow er c ab l e ha s enough
slack so that it is not stressed or
crimped when the EX12LED unit is
fixed into its final mounting position.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Fuse Blows - Check fuse rating.
- Check for shorting
between the enclosur e
and the input power.
Don’t know if LEDs are
“ON”
850nm LEDs will have a
faint red glow when
“ON”.940nm LEDs are
covert. Aim the LEDs
directly at an IR sensit ive
camera to see the lights
or wait for the LEDs to
warm up (two minutes).
Feel for warmth.
LEDs are not “ON”Cover the photo sensor
to activate power to the
LEDs (up to 30 seconds
delay for activation).
Adjust the photocell’s
variable resistor towards
the “ON” position. Adjust
power to the LEDs.

Page 20
PROBLEM
LEDs are not turning
“OFF” when sufficient
ambient light is present
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
- Make sure the photo
sensor is not covered or
hidden behind any
object.
- Check that the photocell
is recessed in the
viewing window.
- Adjust the photocell’s
variable resistor towards
the “OFF” position.
The LEDs will stay “ON”
or “OFF” if the
adjustments are at full
turn.
