1.1 Important Safety Instructions
Read, follow, and retain for future reference all of the following safety instructions. Heed all
warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions before operating the unit.
1. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Follow any instructions
provided with the unit. Generally, using a dry cloth for cleaning is sufficient, but a moist
fluff-free cloth or leather shammy may also be used. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.
2. Heat Sources - Do not install the unit near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters,
stoves, or other equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
3. Ventilation - The MIC 500 Series camera is a completely sealed unit and requires no
special consideration as regards to ventilation.
4. Water - Do not install the camera power supply near water for example near a bathtub,
washbowl or swimming pool. The power supplies carry an IP65 rating and are suitable for
outside installation but for security reasons Bosch recommend that they are installed in a
suitable equipment cabinet. The camera unit is sealed to IP68 and can be safely used in
damp environments or outdoors, as long as the base cable connector is suitably sealed.
5. Object and liquid entry - With the exception of the base connector, the MIC 500 Series
Camera can be exposed to non corrosive liquids without damage. Never push objects
into the base connector as this may damage the connection pins and prevent the camera
operating correctly.
6. Lightning - For added protection during a lightning storm, or when leaving this unit
unattended and unused for long periods, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit from lightning and
power line surges.
7. Controls adjustment - Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may cause damage to the unit.
8. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords. This can cause fire or
electrical shock.
9. Power cord and plug protection - Protect the plug and power cord from foot traffic,
being pinched by items placed upon or against them at electrical outlets, and its exit
from the unit. For units intended to operate with 230 VAC, 50 Hz, the input and output
power cord must comply with the latest versions of IEC Publication 227 or IEC
Publication 245.
10. Power disconnect - Units with or without ON/OFF switches have power supplied to the
unit whenever the power cord is inserted into the power source; however, the unit is
operational only when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. The power cord is the
main power disconnect device for switching off the voltage for all units.
11. Power sources - Operate the unit only from the type of power source indicated on the
label. Before proceeding, be sure to disconnect the power from the cable to be installed
into the unit.
– For battery powered units, refer to the operating instructions.
– For external power supplied units, use only the recommended or approved power
supplies.
– For limited power source units, this power source must comply with EN60950.
Substitutions may damage the unit or cause fire or shock.
– For 24 VAC units, voltage applied to the unit's power input should not exceed ±10%,
or 28 VAC. User-supplied wiring must comply with local electrical codes (Class 2
