MIC inteox 7100i
Isolate shielded CAT5e or CAT6 cable from any high voltage power lines in a separate
grounded, metal conduit. Refer to the datasheet for test conditions for allowable transients /
voltage fluctuations.
Mounting surface recommendations for MIC mounting accessories
The mounting surface should be capable of supporting the combined weight of the MIC
camera + MIC Illuminator + MIC mounting accessory (DCA, wall mount, corner bracket, etc.).
All expected conditions of load, vibration and temperature should be considered when
planning an installation. The material should accommodate a minimum pull-out strength of 275
kg (600 lb).
The mounting accessory should be secured to one of the following surfaces:
–
–
–
–
In all situations, Bosch recommends referencing any applicable building codes or professional
structural engineering guidelines for a secure installation.

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.
Installation in a damp environment (for example, near a coastline)
The fasteners and fixtures shipped with the camera help to keep the camera secure. Always
use Bosch-supplied screws and other fasteners when installing or performing maintenance on
the camera. Bosch-supplied hardware is properly treated and engineered for safe use with
your MIC camera.
The camera head has three (3) plastic screws, factory-installed, around each IR port to
prevent corrosion in units that do not have accessories installed on the camera head. If you
install a sunshield or an illuminator accessory, you must remove the plastic screws and
replace them with the metal screws that ship with each accessory.
Before installation, and periodically, inspect the metal parts of the camera for paint that is
chipped or otherwise damaged. If you notice any paint damage, return the unit for a
replacement.
Avoid installation practices that may bring the camera's metal mountings in contact with
materials such as stainless steel. Such contacts can result in galvanic corrosion and degrade
the cosmetic appearance of the camera. These cosmetic damages caused by improper
installation are not covered by warranty as they do not affect the functionality of the camera.

Ensure that the selected mounting surface is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the camera and mounting hardware (sold separately) under all expected conditions of
load, vibration, wind, and temperature.
