MIC Series 550 Electrical Connections | en 15

4	Electrical Connections
4.1	About the MIC Shielded Composite Cable
	All connections (power, telemetry, video) to the MIC camera are provided through the screw
	terminal connections in the MIC power supply. MIC shielded composite cables are multi-
	conductor cables of various lengths (and gauges ranging from 14 - 18) that provide all power,
	video, and telemetry connections between the MIC PSU and the MIC camera. The cables are
	pre-made with a female terminated connector (12-pin) at one end for attachment to the male
	connector installed into the base of the camera. The other end of the cables has free (non-

terminated) wires for wiring into terminals in the MIC PSU. The composite cable consists of two pairs (24AWG) plus 4 cores of (22 AWG), 2 cores of (24 AWG), and one coax core for the video signal to a maximum distance of 25 m.

Notice!

Bosch Security Systems does not recommend using the shielded composite cable for distances greater than 25 m between the MIC camera and the MIC power supply.

For installations that require the camera to be more than 25 m from the power supply, Bosch recommends that a 2 m cable be connected to a junction box (Exd rated for MIC440) from which telemetry, video, and power can be broken out into separate cables and appropriate wiring used to extend the distance to suit.

Warning!

!Bosch recommends connecting the cable to the unit before taking the unit for mounting onsite.

	designed to allow the camera to achieve the optimal field of view.
	The most common type of mounting location is the top of a dedicated CCTV pole that provides
	a robust mounting platform that minimizes camera motion and typically has a large base
	cabinet for mounting ancillary equipment such as power supplies.

The camera can also be mounted on the side of a lamp post, pole, or similar column using the Pole Mount Bracket (MIC-PMB). Be aware that lamp posts can often be subject to movement and are not suitable platforms in all conditions or for all applications.

Other locations for mounting the camera include the top of a building, the side (wall) of a building, the corner of a building, and under the eave of a building.

The three figures directly below illustrate the arrangement of mounting brackets for installing a MIC camera. The camera (not shown) is attached to the bowl of the MIC-WMB.

6.2 Select the Mounting Location

1. Select the mounting location.

Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a location where the device cannot be interfered with either intentionally or accidentally. Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors, in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60).

Do not install the device near:

–Any heat sources

–Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where the device may contact power lines, circuits, or lights

4Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of load, vibration, and temperature.

Notice!

MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:

-Concrete (Solid/Cast)

-Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)

-Brick (all types)

-Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)

Caution!

Risk of lightning strikes

If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the

!camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes. The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should result.

6.3 Select the Mounting Orientation

2. After selecting the mounting location, select the appropriate mounting orientation.

MIC Series cameras are designed to be mounted upright (straight up, 90°), inverted (straight down, 90°), or canted upright (ball up, 45°). The tilt limits for the canted unit prevent it from working properly if mounted ball down. See the figures below for illustrations of the correct and the incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.

To mount a MIC Series camera, follow these steps:

Warning!

!Ensure not to damage the paint on the housing of the camera or the mount.

1.Carefully lift the camera to the mounting location.

2.Connect the female cable connector end (12-pin) of the shielded composite cable to the male plug in the base of the camera. Screw the cable connector sleeve onto the plug until it is secured firmly (approximately four (4) turns from the start of thread engagement).

MIC Series 550 Earthing the Camera | en 23

8 Earthing the Camera

Earth the MIC Camera to metal on or attached to the mount.

Warning!

!The camera must be earthed / grounded to meet EMC immunity standards.

Earth the camera using one of the supplied securing bolts. Only earth the camera at a single point to prevent earth loops and video distortion (hum bars), caused by electrical interference, from appearing on the camera picture in the control room. Please note:

–The camera module and housing are electrically isolated, so the housing should be safety earthed regardless. The safety earth should be a bonding connection (for example, one of the securing bolts) to the camera housing, or should be attached to the Earth terminal post on the PCD base of the camera.

–If the system is copper throughout and the camera pictures are fed back to the control room via coaxial copper cable, then the camera should be earthed only at the video termination point in the control room. In this case, the "Earth Link" on the PCB should be broken. Refer to Earth Link on PCB.

–If the video is transmitted back to the control room via some non-electrical connecting medium (for example, fiber optic, radio, or microwave link), then the camera should be earthed at the transmitter point in the power supply unit. The PSU "Earth Link" may be used for this purpose.

–If dual earthing is unavoidable, then a video isolation transformer should be fitted between the two earths.
