DESCRIPTION
The EX80/82 Infrared Imager™ consists of two cameras:
color and mono-chrome. These cameras give optimum color
performance during daylight conditions and LXR-infrared
illuminated performance in the pitch black of night.
Both cameras have “Vari-Focal” lenses, and are seamlessly
switched by a photocell when light conditions change from
day to night, ensuring “No Focus Shift”.
The all-weather housing with tough polycarbonate windows
contains all the electronics. Low voltage operation, low power
consumption, LED illuminators, thermostat controlled
defroster and solid-state CCD technology make this camera
very reliable and efficient.
A voltage regulator circuit allows for DC or AC operation, also
providing protection from voltage surges, transient spikes,
and reverse voltage.

UNPACKING
Care should be taken when unpacking the shipped unit.
Check the parts list and confirm all items have been
located. Inspect the equipment thoroughly to ensure
nothing was damaged in transit.
Contact BOSCH Service Center if a problem is noted,
see the rear page of this booklet for contact numbers.

•All cameras have been tested and pre-focused
with telephoto setting as factory default prior to
shipment. If any adjustment needed, it is
advisable to check the camera’s operation
before installation.

SET SCREW

2. CABLE / BRACKET INSERTION
EX82 Camera
•Carefully feed the Power/BNC cable through
both sections of the mounting bracket.
•Make sure the cable is not kinked, chafed,
or split during this procedure.

3. MOUNTING BRACKET ATTACHMENT
•Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Camera’s
Mounting Block using the six bolts supplied
with the bracket.
•Snug the two halves of the bracket together
with the Allen head set screw.
•Tighten the setscrew enough so that the
camera can be adjusted for angle. Do not
over-tighten.
•Note the angled part of the mounting bracket
faces to the rear of the camera.

4. CAMERA MOUNTING
Warning: this apparatus must be securely attached to
the wall or ceiling in accordance with installation
instructions. Failure to follow installation instructions
may results in injury/death.
Select a suitable location that protects the camera
from accidental damage, tampering and
environmental conditions exceeding the specifications
of the camera to be mounted.
Caution: 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 bracket such that it cannot be
easily interfered with, either intentionally or
accidentally.
•Select a smooth, flat mounting surface to
ensure proper sealing. The surface must also be
capable of supporting the combined weight of the
camera and mounting hardware under all
expected conditions of vibration and temperature.
•Secure all cabling.

•Installation should only be performed by
skilled personnel

Mounting instructions for wall and ceiling mount:
Camera is intended to be securely mounted to a
wall using mounting bracket model EXMB.028, or
to a ceiling using mounting bracket model
EXMB.029. Camera has been evaluated for wall
mounting using the following wood screws
secured into a 2x4 stud under ½” drywall. Wood
screws, 1/4” lag, dia Ø1/4”, 2” long, 9 TPI, with ½”
head. Camera has been evaluated for ceiling

mounting using the following wood screws
secured into a 2x4 stud under ½” drywall:
•wood screws with washer, 1/4” lag, dia Ø1/4”,
2” long, 9 TPI, with ½” head
•16” flat washer.
Camera has not been evaluated for safety
requirements using other mounting kits.
Installation (Ceiling and Wall Mount)
•Locate stud in the ceiling/wall and mark
outside edges of stud.
•Using ceiling/wall mount bracket as a
template, align the mounting hole with the center
of the stud.
•Marking the point on the ceiling/wall in the
center of the hole where mounting screw will be
positioned.
•Remove the ceiling/wall mount bracket and
using a 5/32” drill bit, drill a pilot hole at the
marked point.
•Align the ceiling/wall mount bracket mounting
hole with the hole drilled in the ceiling/wall
•Using a 7/16” socket and driver, secure the
ceiling/wall mount bracket by screwing the 1/4” lag
bolt with 1/4” washer securely into the stud.
•Use additional 1/4” lag bolt and 1/4” washer to
secure the remaining mounting holes.
•Installation is complete.

5. CAMERA LENS ADJUSTMENTS
AND SELECT A WINDOW
For optimum picture quality, the camera lenses
should be as close as possible to the inside face of
the viewing window, without touching.
The camera is pre-focused with telephoto setting as
factory default. Follow the steps below if any
adjustment needed.
•Loosen the four bolts from the extrusion.
•Remove the faceplate, window and the lens foam, set
aside. Make sure the photocell is not dislodged.
•Loosen the two long bolts that hold the camera and
VRB together. Pull the camera assembly forward until
the lens setscrews can be easily reached.
•Do proper adjustment as 5.1
Loosen the four bolts Loosen the two long bolts

5.1 Vari Focal and “Auto-Iris” Control Adjustments
•Loosen the lens set screws for focus/zoom
adjustments.
•The setscrew marked N ←→ ∞is used for image
focus.
•The setscrew marked T←→ W is used for telephoto
or wide-angle settings.
•Re-tighten the setscrews after focus adjustments
have been completed.
Window Selection
Telephoto(Factory standard) Use 40illumination beam
Wide (for4-6mm lens set up) Use 80illumination beam
Lens setscrews

Use a Neutral Density filter or Infra-Red Pass filter to cover
the lens during focusing to simulate low light conditions on
scene for correct 24-hour focusing. For camera with vari-
focal lens, the camera should be focused with the lens iris
fully opened to simulate the worst possible depth of field.
Using a Neutral Density filter or Infra-Red Pass filter will
ensure the iris is fully open for correct setup and
adjustment.
Note that statement above is applicable only for Day/Night
or IR version cameras.

6. LED ARRAY - POWER ADJUSTMENTS
If adjustment is needed, remove the rear cover for access
to the LRB. The EX80/82 needs to be powered-up while
making the LED power adjustments. Cover the photocell
to turn the LEDs “ON” (850nm LEDs will have a slight red
glow).
For photocell “On/Off” light-level adjustment, rotate VR2.
Clockwise is off and counter-clockwise is on.
LED Power and Photocell On/Off Adjustments
Adjust the LED power if they are too bright or too dim.
For IR power adjustment, rotate VR1. Clockwise is high
and counter-clockwise is low.

7. CAMERA RE-ASSEMBLY
Make sure all wires are properly connected, all holes are
sealed against moisture penetration, and all mounting
screws are tight.
•Slide the lens foam over the camera lenses. Make
sure the foam is snug and as close to the faceplate
viewing window as possible and the photocell is
secure with an unobstructed view.
•Attach the window, faceplate, and the rear cover to
the camera housing. Tighten the four bolts.
•Tighten the camera’s adjustable mounting bracket
after the desired viewing angle has been determined.
•Power-up the camera and check its operation.
