DESCRIPTION The EX80/82 Infrared Imager™ consists of two cameras: color and mono-chrome. These cameras give optimum color performance during daylight conditions and LXR-infrared illuminated performance in the pitch black of night. Both cameras have “Vari-Focal” lenses, and are seamlessly switched by a photocell when light conditions change from day to night, ensuring “No Focus Shift”.
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. PARTS LIST (items supplied with unit) EX80/82 Infrared Imager™...
If any adjustment needed, it is advisable to check the camera’s operation before installation. GUIDELINES The installation of the EX80/82 Infrared Imager™ is explained in Sections 1 to 7. It is important that these steps are followed in numerical order.
1. MOUNTING BRACKET PREPARATON EXMB.028 Mounting Bracket SET SCREW • Use the supplied Allen Key to remove the setscrew from the supplied mounting bracket. • Separate the two sections of the mounting bracket.
2. CABLE / BRACKET INSERTION EX82 Camera • Carefully feed the Power/BNC cable through both sections of the mounting bracket. • Make sure the cable is not kinked, chafed, or split during this procedure.
3. MOUNTING BRACKET ATTACHMENT • Attach the Mounting Bracket to the Camera’s Mounting Block using the six bolts supplied with the bracket. • Snug the two halves of the bracket together with the Allen head set screw. • Tighten the setscrew enough so that the camera can be adjusted for angle.
4. CAMERA MOUNTING Warning: this apparatus must be securely attached to the wall or ceiling in accordance with installation instructions. Failure to follow installation instructions may results in injury/death. Select a suitable location that protects the camera from accidental damage, tampering and environmental conditions exceeding the specifications of the camera to be mounted.

mounting using the following wood screws secured into a 2x4 stud under ½” drywall: • wood screws with washer, 1/4” lag, dia Ø1/4”, 2” long, 9 TPI, with ½” head • 16” flat washer. Camera has not been evaluated for safety requirements using other mounting kits.
5. CAMERA LENS ADJUSTMENTS AND SELECT A WINDOW For optimum picture quality, the camera lenses should be as close as possible to the inside face of the viewing window, without touching. The camera is pre-focused with telephoto setting as factory default. Follow the steps below if any adjustment needed.

Lens setscrews 5.1 Vari Focal and “Auto-Iris” Control Adjustments • Loosen the lens set screws for focus/zoom adjustments. • The setscrew marked N ←→ ∞ is used for image focus. • The setscrew marked T←→ W is used for telephoto or wide-angle settings.

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.
6. LED ARRAY - POWER ADJUSTMENTS If adjustment is needed, remove the rear cover for access to the LRB. The EX80/82 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).
7. CAMERA RE-ASSEMBLY Make sure all wires are properly connected, all holes are sealed against moisture penetration, and all mounting screws are tight. • Slide the lens foam over the camera lenses. Make sure the foam is snug and as close to the faceplate viewing window as possible and the photocell is secure with an unobstructed view.
