1.4 Important 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.
!
Warning!
Bosch’s version of High PoE:
If supplying power to the camera by HPoE or a midspan device, you must install additional
surge protection.
All-pole power switch - Incorporate an all-pole power switch, with a contact separation of at
least 3mm, 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 (CEC
Section 60).
Ventilation – Any openings in the device / enclosure are provided for ventilation to prevent
overheating and to ensure reliable operation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not
place the device in an enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided, or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.
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.

Bosch Security Systems Installation Manual 2015.11 | 1.1 |
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).
1.5 Connection in Applications
24VAC power source: This unit is intended to operate with a limited power source. The unit
is intended to operate at 24VAC (if PoE+ is not available). User supplied wiring must be in
compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).
PoE: Use only approved PoE+ devices. Power-over-Ethernet can be connected at the same
time as a 24VAC power supply.
If auxiliary power (24VAC) and PoE+ are applied simultaneously, the camera selects auxiliary
input and shuts off PoE+.
For pendant models used in outdoor applications that require heaters, a Bosch High PoE 60W
midspan (NPD-6001A, sold separately) is required to power both the camera and its internal
heaters.
For in-ceiling or indoor pendant applications that don’t require heater power, standard PoE+
(802.3at) midspans or switches can be used to power the camera.
1.6 Important Notices
Indoor use only - The product shall only be used indoors. Ethernet network should be
connected to a network environment, which must comply with the following conditions:
1.1 The function of the ITE being investigated to IEC 60950-1 is considered not likely to
require connection to an Ethernet network with outside plant routing, including a campus
environment.
1.2 The ITE is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.
Notice!
This device is intended for use in public areas only.
U.S. federal law strictly prohibits surreptitious recording of oral communications.

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.
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.
5.1 Prepare Wiring
4Prepare and install all wiring for 24 VAC, PoE+ (Cat5e/Cat6), alarms, and audio as
necessary. For 24 VAC, follow the recommendations for maximum cable distance and
