Step 1.2 - Carefully separate the housing from the chassis assembly, ensuring the wires are not displaced and the camera lens is not damaged.
2. INPUT POWER / VIDEO OUTPUT CONNECTIONS The camera unit is pre-connected with an electrically isolated power boards for 24VAC or 12VDC operation with no wiring change or wiring polarity. See Figure 2-1 for wiring details. Note: Input voltage is 10.5VDC to 40VDC for DC input. The AC input range is 12VAC to 28VAC.
3. MOUNTING – CAMERA HOUSING Caution: Ensure the selected location is protected from falling objects, accidental contact with moving objects, and unintentional interference from personnel.

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.
5. CAMERA RE-ASSEMBLY Make sure all wires are properly connected and tightened into the terminal blocks, all holes are sealed against moisture penetration, and all mounting screws are tight. Step 5.1 - Gently press the camera housing in place. Ensure the lens is not touching the inside of the viewing window.
Check BNC connector. If still no video, connect the camera directly to the monitor. Check the video signal. If okay, the problem is with the interconnections. If still no video, contact BOSCH Service Center. See rear page - 14 -...
