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.

Mounting Options

See the figures that follow for illustrations of the correct and the incorrect mounting
orientations of MIC cameras.
MIC 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.
Correct mounting orientation -
Note: For canted cameras, ensure that your mounting location provides the necessary
clearance (370 mm (14.6 in.)) for the camera head to pan.
