DESCRIPTION
The EX14 All Environment Camera consists of a two-
piece injection molded watertight housing with a tough
polycarbonate viewing window. This compact camera
meets IP66 ratings for applications wherever
environmentally sealed CCD cameras are required. The
camera is especially suited for wash down applications
in food processing and industrial clean-room
installations.
The EX14 can be ordered in monochrome or color
versions, featuring varifocal and auto-iris IR-optimized
lenses. A rigid nylon mounting bracket is also included
with the camera.
A voltage regulator circuit allows for 12V dc or 24V ac
operation and a range in between. It also provides
protection from voltage surge, transient spikes, and
reverse voltage.
The EX14N comes with integrated Infra-Red illumination
to permit imaging in 0 Lux conditions
The EX14 is available in several models to meet
individual requirements or specific needs.

INITIAL PREPARATIONS
•The camera’s voltage regulator board
(VRB) accepts an input voltage of either
12Vdc or 24Vac, and a range in-between,
from a regulated power supply.
•The VRB automatically switches between
ac or dc inputs, therefore no internal wiring
changes are necessary to accommodate
these input voltages.
•Determine the optimum location for the
camera.
Section 1: Camera Mounting
•All cameras have been tested prior to
shipment.

1. CAMERA MOUNTING
Caution: Install the mounting bracket with the
appropriate screws or drywall anchors to suit the
mounting surface. Select a suitable location that is
protected from accidental damage or tampering, and
environmental conditions that could exceed the
camera’s general specifications.
See page 18.
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 camera such that it cannot be easily
interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.
•Select a mounting surface capable of supporting
the combined weight of the camera and its
mounting hardware under all expected conditions of
vibration and temperature.
•Secure all cabling.
