Important safety instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow these instructions.
5. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heaters, stoves, or other equipment (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
6. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched,
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
8. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
9. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to

avoid injury from tip-over.
10. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when l
unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage
to the unit from lightning and power line surges.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in a way,
such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

Important notices
!
Caution!
A regulated 24 VAC, 43W power supply is recommended for use
with this camera for the best picture and the most stable
operation. An unregulated power supply can cause damage to
the camera. When unregulated power supply is applied,
product warranty will be void.
Bosch recommends using the camera with a monitor that has a
CCTV-quality 75 Ohm video impedance level. If your monitor is
switched to high impedance, please adjust accordingly.
Do not attempt to disassemble the camera to gain access to the
internal components. Refer servicing to your dealer or to
qualified service personnel.
Never face the camera towards the sun or any bright or
reflective light. This may cause smear on the picture and
possible damage to the CCD.
Do not remove the serial sticker for the warranty service.
All-pole power switch - Incorporate an all-pole power switch,
with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole, into the
electrical installation of the building. If it is needed to open the
housing for servicing and/or other activities, use this all-pole
switch as the main disconnect device for switching off the
voltage to the unit.
Camera grounding - For mounting the camera in potentially
damp environments, ensure to ground the system using the
ground connection of the power supply connector (see section:
Connecting external power supply).
Camera lens - An assembled camera lens in the outdoor housing
must comply and be tested in accordance with UL/IEC60065.
Any output or signal lines from the camera must be SELV or
1.3
8en | Safety AUTDOME 4000 Mini
PTZ Dome
2013.4 | | Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Limited Power Source. For safety reasons, the environmental
specification of the camera lens assembly must be within the
environmental specification of -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F).
Camera signal - Protect the cable with a primary protector if the
camera signal is beyond 140 feet, in accordance with NEC800
(CEC Section 60).
Coax grounding:
– Ground the cable system if connecting an outside cable
system to the unit.
– Connect outdoor equipment to the unit's inputs only after
this unit has had its grounding plug connected to a
grounded outlet or its ground terminal is properly
connected to a ground source.
– Disconnect the unit's input connectors from outdoor
equipment before disconnecting the grounding plug or
grounding terminal.
– Follow proper safety precautions such as grounding for any
outdoor device connected to this unit.
U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70 provides information regarding proper
grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of
the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Disposal - Your Bosch product was developed and
manufactured with high-quality material and
components that can be recycled and reused. This
symbol means that electronic and electrical
appliances, which have reached the end of their
working life, must be collected and disposed of
separately from household waste material. Separate
collecting systems are usually in place for disused
electronic and electrical products. Please dispose of
these units at an environmentally compatible
recycling facility, per European Directive 2002/96/EC.
Electronic Surveillance - This device is intended for use in
public areas only. U.S. federal law strictly prohibits surreptitious
recording of oral communications.
Environmental statement - Bosch has a strong commitment
towards the environment. This unit has been designed to
respect the environment as much as possible.
Electrostatic-sensitive device - Use proper CMOS/MOS-FET
handling precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge. NOTE:
Wear required grounded wrist straps and observe proper ESD
safety precautions when handling the electrostatic-sensitive
printed circuit boards.
Fuse rating - For 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).
Moving - Disconnect the power before moving the unit. Move
the unit with care. Excessive force or shock may damage the
unit and the hard disk drives.
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).
Permanently connected equipment - Incorporate a readily-
accessible disconnect device in the building installation wiring.
10 en | Safety AUTDOME 4000 Mini
PTZ Dome
2013.4 | | Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Pluggable equipment - Install the socket outlet near the
equipment so that it is easily accessible.
Power resupply - If the unit is forced to power down due to
exceeding the specified operating temperatures, disconnect the
power cord, wait for at least 30 seconds, and then reconnect
the power cord.
Power lines: Do not locate the camera near overhead power
lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, nor where it may
contact such power lines, circuits, or lights.
Rack mount
– Ventilation - Do not place this unit in a built-in installation
or rack without proper ventilation or adhering to the
manufacturer’s instructions. The equipment must not
exceed its maximum operating temperature requirements.
– Mechanical loading - Properly mount the equipment in a
rack to prevent a hazardous condition due to uneven
mechanical loading.
SELV - All the input/output ports are Safety Extra Low Voltage
(SELV) circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other
SELV circuits.
Because the ISDN circuits are treated like telephone-network
voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the Telephone
Network Voltage (TNV) circuits.
The system ground is only used to comply with safety standards
or installation practices in certain countries. Bosch does not
recommend connecting system ground to safety ground unless
it is explicitly required. However, if the system ground and
safety ground are connected and grounding loops are causing
interference in the video signal, use an isolation transformer
(available separately from Bosch).
!
Caution!
Connecting System ground to Safety ground may result in
ground loops that can disrupt the CCTV system.

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 lost digital information, Bosch Security Systems
recommends multiple, redundant recording systems, and a
procedure to back up all analog and digital information.

Notice!
The AUTDOME 4000 Mini PTZ Dome uses a 30X zoom lens
(fW=3.49 ±0.17mm fT=104.02 ±5.20mm). The polycarbonate
bubble (part of the camera housing) causes image distortion,
reducing the optical zoom performance. The effective optical
zoom ratio is 26X +/- 10%.
