Select The Mounting Orientation; Considerations For Inverted Cameras; Install The Mounting Brackets - Bosch MIC550 IR Operation Manual

MIC Series 550
Notice!
MIC cameras must be secured to one of the following surfaces:
- Concrete (Solid/Cast)
- Concrete Masonry Unit (Concrete Block)
- Brick (all types)
- Metal (Steel/Aluminum, minimum 1/8-in. thick)
Caution!
Risk of lightning strikes
If the camera is installed in a highly exposed location where lightning strikes may occur, then
Bosch recommends installing a separate lightning conductor within 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of the
!
camera and at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) higher than the camera. A good earth bonding connection
to the camera housing itself will provide protection against damage from secondary strikes.
The camera housing itself is constructed to cope with secondary strikes. If the correct
lightning protection is applied, then no damage to the internal electronics or camera should
result.

Select the Mounting Orientation

2. After selecting the mounting location, select the appropriate mounting orientation.
MIC Series cameras are designed to be mounted upright (straight up, 90°), inverted (straight
down, 90°), or canted upright (ball up, 45°). The tilt limits for the canted unit prevent it from
working properly if mounted ball down. See the figures below for illustrations of the correct
and the incorrect mounting orientations of MIC cameras.
