1.4Important Safety Instructions
Read, follow, and retain for future reference all of the following safety instructions. Follow all
warnings before operating the device.
1.Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
2.Do not install device near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other
equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3.Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
4.Take precautions to protect the device from power and lightning surges.
5.Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions.
6.Operate the device only from the type of power source indicated on the label.
7.Unless qualified, do not attempt to service a damaged device yourself. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
8.Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions in accordance with applicable
local codes.
9.Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. Protect all connection cables from possible damage, particularly at connection points.
Caution!
Installation must be made by qualified personnel and conform to ANSI/NFPA 70 (the National
Electrical Code® (NEC)), Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (also called CE Code or CSA C22.1),
and all applicable local codes. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. accepts no liability for any
damages or losses caused by incorrect or improper installation.
All-pole power switch - Incorporate an all-pole power switch, with a contact separation of at
least 3mm, into the electrical installation of the building. If it is needed to open the housing,
use this all-pole switch as the main disconnect device for switching off the voltage to the unit.
Camera signal - Protect the cable with a primary protector if the camera signal is beyond 140
feet, in accordance with NEC800 (CEC Section 60).
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 (CECSection 60).
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).
Power disconnect - Units have power supplied whenever the power cord is inserted into the
power source, or when High Power-over-Ethernet (High PoE) power is provided over the
Ethernet CAT 5E/6 cable. The power cord is the main power disconnect device for switching
off the voltage for all units. When High PoE or PoE+ (820.3at) is used to power the unit, the
power is provided over the Ethernet cable, which is then the main power disconnect device
for switching off the voltage for all units.
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 losing information, we recommend multiple, redundant recording
systems, and a procedure to back up all analog and digital information.
Caution!
Always securely tighten all fittings to ensure a liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow
water to enter the housing and damage the units. If a sealant is used, ensure that it is a
neutral cure type. Sealants that release acetic acid may harm electronics. Use drip loops on
the wiring outside the housing.
Always use Teflon tape and sealant on connector threads of any mount (sold separately by
Bosch or user-supplied).
Notice!
Bosch recommends the use of surge/lightning protection devices (sourced locally) to protect
network and power cables and the camera installation site. Refer to NFPA 780, Class 1 & 2,
UL96A, or the equivalent code appropriate for your country/region, and to local building
codes. Refer also to the installation instructions of each device (surge protector where the
cable enters the building, midspan, and camera).
1.5Safety Addendum
Notice!
Risk of water ingress
Securely seal all fittings and connection points between the device and all mounts to ensure a
liquid-tight seal. Failure to do so could allow water to enter the housing and damage the
device. Always use Teflon tape and sealant on connector threads of any mount (sold
separately by Bosch or user-supplied).
If a sealant is used, ensure that it is a neutral cure type. Sealants that release acetic acid may
harm electronics.
Use drip loops on the wiring outside the housing.
1.6Important Notices - Illumination Safety
Notice!
This product has been tested according to standard IEC62471:2006 “Photobiological safety
of lamps and lamp systems”. The product emissions meets the EXEMPT Group limit for
Cornea/Lens infrared hazard as defined by IEC 62471:2006. The product was found to meet
the EXEMPT Group exposure limits for IR LEDs.
The IEC 62471 provides the methods to determine the risk group of any lamp or any product
incorporating a lamp. The risk groups in IEC 62471 indicate the degree of risk from potential
optical radiation hazards. The risk groups were developed based upon decades of lamp use
experience and the analysis of accidental injuries related to optical radiation emission.
EXEMPT Group – no optical hazard is considered reasonably foreseeable, even for
continuous, unrestricted use. Typical examples are most frosted incandescent lamps and
fluorescent lamps used in domestic applications.
Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) is a ratio of the Exposure Level (distance, exposure time) to
Exposure Limit Value (ELV). When EHV is greater than 1, the device has exceeded the
Exposure Limit Values for a particular Risk Group. The ELV is the level where optical radiation
to the eye or skin is not expected to result in adverse biological effects.
The Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the Exposure Level equals
the appropriate ELV. In other words, when EHV=1 for a particular Risk Group.
Regarding the Cornea / Lens infrared hazard of this product, the Exposure Hazard Value (EHV)
at a test distance of 200mm is 2.19 based on EXEMPT Group exposure limits. The EHV based
on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.386. The HD for the Exempt Group is 297 mm.
These values have been summarized in the table below:
