Before installing and operating the camera, please read this manual carefully.
2.1 Important Safety Instructions
Read, follow, and retain for future reference all of the following safety instructions. Heed all
warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions before operating the unit.
1. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in accordance with
applicable local codes.
2. Do not install the unit near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other
equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3. Do not install the camera power supply near water for example near a bathtub,
washbowl, or swimming pool. The power supplies have an IP65 rating and are suitable
for outside installation; however, for security reasons, Bosch recommends that they are
installed in a suitable equipment cabinet. The camera unit is sealed to IP68 and can be
used safely in damp environments or outdoors, as long as the base cable connector is
suitably sealed.
4. Operate the unit only from the type of power source indicated on the label. Before
proceeding, be sure to disconnect the power from the cable to be installed into the unit.
For external power supplied units, use only the recommended or approved power
supplies.
For limited power source units, this power source must comply with EN60950.
Substitutions may damage the unit or cause fire or shock.
For 24 VAC units, voltage applied to the unit's power input should not exceed ±10%,
or 28 VAC. User-supplied wiring must comply with local electrical codes (Class 2
power levels). Do not ground the supply at the terminals or at the unit's power
supply terminals.
If unsure of the type of power supply to use, contact your dealer or local power
company.
5. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords. This can cause fire or
electrical shock.
6. Power disconnect - Units have power supplied whenever the power cord is inserted into
the power source. The power cord is the main power disconnect for all units.
7. Ventilation - The MIC Series 550 camera is a completely sealed unit and requires no
special consideration as regards to ventilation.
8. Power cord and plug protection - Protect the plug and power cord from foot traffic,
being pinched by items placed upon or against them at electrical outlets, and its exit
from the unit. For units intended to operate with 230 VAC, 50 Hz, the input and output
power cord must comply with the latest versions of IEC Publication 227 or IEC
Publication 245.
9. Lightning - For added protection during a lightning storm, or when leaving this unit
unattended and unused for long periods, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit from lightning and
power line surges.
10. Object and liquid entry - With the exception of the base connector, the MIC Series 550
camera can be exposed to non corrosive liquids without damage. Never push objects into
the base connector as this may damage the connection pins and prevent the camera
operating correctly.
11. Controls adjustment - Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may cause damage to the unit.
