1.2 Safety precautions

DANGER!

High risk: This symbol indicates an imminently hazardous
situation such as “Dangerous Voltage” inside the product.
If not avoided, this will result in an electrical shock, serious
bodily injury, or death.

WARNING!

Medium risk: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation.
If not avoided, this could result in minor or moderate bodily
injury.

CAUTION!

Low risk: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation.
If not avoided, this could result in property damage or risk of
damage to the unit.

1.3 Important notices

Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand,

tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious
injury and/or serious damage to the unit. Use only with the
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer. When a cart is used, use caution and care when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over. Quick stops, excessive force, or uneven surfaces may
cause the cart/unit combination to overturn. Mount the unit
per the manufacturer's instructions.

Coax grounding:

– Ground the cable system if connecting an outside cable

system to the unit.

– Connect outdoor equipment to the unit's inputs only after

this unit has had its grounding plug connected to a
grounded outlet or its ground terminal is properly
connected to a ground source.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Instruction Manual F.01U.240.878 | 1.0 | 2011.07

6 en | Safety EX14 Marine Camera

– Disconnect the unit's input connectors from outdoor

equipment before disconnecting the grounding plug or
grounding terminal.

– Follow proper safety precautions such as grounding for

any outdoor device connected to this unit.

U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper

grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Electronic Surveillance - This device is intended for use in
public areas only. U.S. federal law strictly prohibits
surreptitious recording of oral communications.
Environmental statement - Bosch has a strong commitment
towards the environment. This unit has been designed to
respect the environment as much as possible.
Electrostatic-sensitive device - Use proper CMOS/MOS-FET
handling precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge.
NOTE: Wear required grounded wrist straps and observe proper
ESD safety precautions when handling the electrostatic­sensitive printed circuit boards.
Fuse rating - For security protection of the device, the branch
circuit protection must be secured with a maximum fuse rating
of 16A. This must be in accordance with NEC800 (CEC Section

60).

Moving - Disconnect the power before moving the unit. Move
the unit with care. Excessive force or shock may damage the
unit.
Outdoor signals - The installation for outdoor signals, especially
regarding clearance from power and lightning conductors and
transient protection, must be in accordance with NEC725 and
NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).
Permanently connected equipment - Incorporate a readily
accessible disconnect device in the building installation wiring.
Pluggable equipment - Install the socket outlet near the
equipment so it is easily accessible.

F.01U.240.878 | 1.0 | 2011.07 Instruction Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

EX14 Marine Camera Safety | en 7

Power resupply - If the unit is forced to power down due to
exceeding the specified operating temperatures, disconnect
the power cord, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then
reconnect the power cord.
Power lines - Do not locate the camera near overhead power
lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, nor where it may
contact such power lines, circuits, or lights.

SELV

All the input/output ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV
circuits.
Because the ISDN circuits are treated like telephone-network
voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the Telephone
Network Voltage (TNV) circuits.
Video loss - Video loss is inherent to digital video recording;
therefore, Bosch Security Systems cannot be held liable for any
damage that results from missing video information. To
minimize the risk of lost digital information, Bosch Security
Systems recommends multiple, redundant recording systems,
and a procedure to back up all analog and digital information.

INFORMATIONS FCC ET ICES

(modèles utilisés aux États-Unis et au Canada uniquement)

Suite à différents tests, cet appareil s'est révélé conforme aux
exigences imposées aux appareils numériques de classe B, en
vertu de la section 15 du règlement de la Commission fédérale
des communications des États-Unis (FCC), et en vertu de la
norme ICES-003 d'Industrie Canada. Ces exigences visent à
fournir une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
nuisibles lorsque l'appareil est utilisé dans le cadre d'une
installation résidentielle. Cet appareil génère, utilise et émet
de l'énergie de radiofréquences et peut, en cas d'installation ou
d'utilisation non conforme aux instructions, engendrer des
interférences nuisibles au niveau des radiocommunications.
Toutefois, rien ne garantit l'absence d'interférences dans une
installation particulière. Il est possible de déterminer la
production d'interférences en mettant l'appareil
successivement hors et sous tension, tout en contrôlant la
réception radio ou télévision. L'utilisateur peut parvenir à
éliminer les interférences éventuelles en prenant une ou
plusieurs des mesures suivantes :
– Modifier l'orientation ou l'emplacement de l'antenne

réceptrice;
– Éloigner l'appareil du récepteur;
– Brancher l'appareil sur une prise située sur un circuit

différent de celui du récepteur;
– Consulter le revendeur ou un technicien qualifié en radio/

télévision pour obtenir de l'aide.
Toute modification apportée au produit, non expressément
approuvée par la partie responsable de l'appareil, est
strictement interdite. Une telle modification est susceptible
d'entraîner la révocation du droit d'utilisation de l'appareil.

2 Description

The EX14 Marine is an all-environment camera designed
specifically for marine and extreme weather applications. The
940 nm active IR option provides covert operation to not
interfere with shipping navigation lights. The simple, effective
design allows performance in the most challenging of
environmental conditions.

The housing is compact with a 4 to 9 mm varifocal lens for a
variety of marine applications.

The EX14 Marine incorporates mechanical filter technology for
vivid daytime color and exceptional night-time imaging under
infrared illumination while maintaining sharp focus under all
lighting conditions. The EX14 Marine also features proprietary
CCD technology for outstanding spectral response in the near
infrared for excellent active-infrared night vision.

A high-efficiency 18-LED spatially optimized infrared array
contributes to evenly-distributed infrared illumination.
Photocell-control ensures that video and LED switching are
accurate. The result is a 24/7 camera, with 12 m (40 ft) of night
vision in completely dark environments.

Made of an injection-molded Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate and
Polycarbonate (ASA +PC) resin, the EX14 Marine is engineered
specifically to withstand hot, cold and wet environments. A
totally insulated inner chamber eliminates the requirement for
internal heaters and blowers. Compliant to IP66 and NEMA 4X,
the EX14 Marine is ready for deployment in the worlds harshest
environments. Features and easy-access camera compartment
for easy camera/lens adjustments and installation.
