DESCRIPTION The EX30 Infrared Imager consists of an LXR camera and an infrared illuminator. This surveillance system gives optimum performance during daylight conditions and in the pitch black of night. The camera has a “Vari Focal” lens, and is seamlessly switched by a photocell when light conditions change from day to night, ensuring no loss of image quality.
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...

Telephoto (Factory standard) Use 40º illumination beam Wide Use 80ºillumination beam 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 EX30 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).
