DESCRIPTION The EX36N Night Vision Camera has been designed with tilt on its faceplate to allow corner mounting and provide better view angle in small rooms. The housing and faceplate consist of tough materials to withstand damage in hostile environments such as prison cells and psychiatric wards.
Check the parts list and confirm all items have been located. Inspect the equipment thoroughly to ensure nothing was damaged in transit. Contact BOSCH Service Center if a problem is noted, see the rear page of this booklet for contact numbers.
After the wiring has been reconnected, it is advisable to check the camera’s operation before installation. GUIDELINES The installation of the EX36N camera is explained in Sections 1 to 6 listed below. It is important that these steps are followed in sequence: 1.
1. FACEPLATE REMOVAL The faceplate must be removed prior to the installation process. This is necessary because the mounting holes need to be accessed. The lens may need to have its directional angle changed. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page 5. Step 1.1 - Place the camera housing on a flat surface.

This view shows the interior layout of the EX3xN camera assembly after the faceplate has been removed. Smaller details such as wiring and terminal blocks are omitted for clarity. Refer to the specific module sections for these details. FIGURE 1 – 2 Layout of Modules...
2. INPUT POWER CONNECTIONS The camera unit is pre-connected with an electrically isolated power board for 24V ac or 12V dc operation with no wiring change or wiring polarity. See Figure 2-1 and 2-2 for wiring details. Power Power FIGURE 2 - 1 12VDC or 24VAC Electrically Isolated Board, Camera VRB...

3. MOUNTING - CAMERA HOUSING Select a suitable location that is protected from accidental damage, tampering, and environmental conditions exceeding the camera’s specifications. Caution: The selected mounting location should not place the camera in a situation where its environmental specifications could be exceeded. See page 24 Caution: Ensure the selected location is protected from falling objects, accidental contact...

expected conditions of vibration and temperature. • Secure all cabling. • Installations on drywall must use #8 screws and #8 drywall nylon plugs or a superior connection. The camera’s mounting holes are located on the left and right side of the housing. Refer to Figure 3-1 on page 11.
4. CAMERA - DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENT Both the camera and the LED array can be adjusted for optimum picture quality. The camera lens can be tilted on its axis via two adjustment screws on the mounting bracket. It can also be moved closer or farther away from the viewing window.

Loosen both adjustment screws for tilt or horizontal directional alignment. This action may require trial-and-error attempts to obtain perfect picture alignment. FIGURE 4 – 1 Camera Directional Alignment...
5. LED DIRECTIONAL AND POWER ADJUSTMENTS If the LEDs need to be adjusted for beam spread, the Camera/LED Array Assembly does not need to be removed from the housing. The adjustment can be done by hand. The EX3xN can be powered while making adjustments, but make sure the power cable is not pinched or chafed during this procedure.
Page 21
LED ARRAY - POWER ADJUSTMENTS If adjustment is needed, remove the rear cover for access to the LRB. The EX36N needs to be powered-up while making the LED power adjustments. Cover the photocell to turn the LEDs “ON” (850nm LEDs will have a slight red glow).
6. CAMERA RE-ASSEMBLY Make sure all wires are properly connected, all holes are sealed against moisture penetration, and all mounting screws are tight. Step 6.1 - Slide the square foam pad over the camera’s lens. Make sure the pad is as close to the faceplate viewing window as possible and the photocell is not covered by the foam...
