2 Installation

Mounting the bracket

Connect the bracket to the illuminator as follows:

Ensure that the parts are mounted in the following order:
– Socket head screw
– Lock washer
– Washer
– Illuminator
– Bracket
Use the supplied socket wrench to secure the bracket on both sides of the illuminator.

Changing the beam-angle filter

Insert a beam-angle filter as follows:
1. Insert the supplied tool into the slot and twist. (Use the thick end for the IIR-50xxx0-SR illuminator; use the tapered end for all other illuminators.)

IIR-50xx0-SR
IIR-50xx0-MR/LR/XR
NIR-50xx0-MRP

2. Remove the top cover.
3. Peel back the protective foil from the adhesive points.
4. Attach the selected beam-angle filter with the label side up to the adhesive points.

5. Click the top cover back into place.

3 Connection

3.1 Connecting the IIR-50xx0

Power

– To power the illuminator, connect a 12 to 32 VDC or a 24 VAC supply from a SELV class 2 power supply to wires 5 (+ red) and 6 (- black).

Notice!
Make sure the unused wires are not connected to each other.

Illuminator masters the camera
To use the light sensor in the illuminator to switch the day/night function of the camera:

Connect wires 1 (+ white) and 2 (- yellow) to the alarm input of the camera.
If required, adjust the Photocell adjust control to determine the switching points of the illuminator.

Camera masters the illuminator
To control illuminator switching from the camera:

Turn the Photocell adjust control fully counterclockwise.
Connect a relay output from the camera to wires 3 (- green) and 4 (+ blue).

Adjustments

BOSCH IIR-50850 Weatheproof IR Illuminator - b2

To adjust the sensitivity (Photocell adjust (1) ):

Use a thick flathead screwdriver to remove the protective sealing cap (1).
Use a small screwdriver to adjust the internal control:
– To use the remove switching control input, turn the control fully counterclockwise.
(Now the IR LED lights when the green and blue wires are not connected; it does not light when the wires are connected.)
– To set the light level at which the illuminator switches on, turn the control counterclockwise to turn on the illuminator when there is more light; turn it clockwise to turn it on when it is darker. (The factory setting turns on the illuminator at approximately 30 lx and turns it off at approximately 70 lx.)
Put the protective sealing cap back in place and secure.

To adjust the IR intensity (Power adjust (2) ):

Use a thick flathead screwdriver to remove the protective sealing cap (2).
Using a small screwdriver, turn the internal control counterclockwise to reduce the IR intensity. (The factory default is maximum power.)
Put the protective sealing cap back in place and secure.

3.2 Connecting the NIR-50xx0

Power
To power the illuminator, connect a PoE power supply to the RJ45 connector of the illuminator.

Adjustments

3.3 Setting up

To achieve the best results:

Mount and connect the illuminator as described above.
Complete the following steps at night and view the results on a monitor.
Adjust the pan of the illuminator to match the camera’s field of view.
Loosen the bolts on each side of the unit and adjust the vertical alignment to maximize the results:
– Tilt the unit downwards until the near part of the required field of view is saturated with light as viewed on the monitor.
– Slowly tilt the unit upwards until the furthest part of the required field of view is illuminated correctly on the monitor.
Re-tighten the bolts.
