Important Notices – Illumination Safety
The text in this section applies only to cameras that have illuminators.

Notice!
This product has been tested according to standard IEC 62471:2006 “Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems”. The product emissions exceed the EXEMPT Group limit for both Retinal Blue Light and Cornea/Lens infrared hazard as defined by IEC 62471:2006. The product was found to meet the Risk Group 1 exposure limits for IR LEDs.

The IEC 62471 provides the methods to determine the risk group of any lamp or any product incorporating a lamp. The risk groups in IEC 62471 indicate the degree of risk from potential optical radiation hazards. The risk groups were developed based upon decades of lamp use experience and the analysis of accidental injuries related to optical radiation emission. EXEMPT Group – no optical hazard is considered reasonably foreseeable, even for continuous, unrestricted use. Typical examples are most frosted incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps used in domestic applications.

Risk Group 1 – products are safe for most use applications, except for very prolonged exposures where direct ocular exposures may be expected. An example of Risk Group 1 is a domestic battery operated torch (flashlight).
Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) is a ratio of the Exposure Level (distance, exposure time) to Exposure Limit Value (ELV). When EHV is greater than 1, the device has exceeded the Exposure Limit Values for a particular Risk Group. The ELV is the level where optical radiation to the eye or skin is not expected to result in adverse biological effects.
The Hazard Distance (HD) is the distance from the source at which the Exposure Level equals the appropriate ELV. In other words, when EHV=1 for a particular Risk Group.
Regarding the Cornea / Lens infrared hazard of this product, the Exposure Hazard Value (EHV) at a test distance of 200mm is 2.19 based on EXEMPT Group exposure limits. The EHV based on Risk Group 1 limits is 0.386. The HD for the Exempt Group is 297 mm.

These values have been summarized in the table below:

1. Make ground wire using a 12 AWG stranded wire that is soldered to a 3/8” ring terminal on one end and is bare copper on the other end.
   Note: The length of the wire should be 15 to 20 cms (5.9 to 7.9”) long.

2. Add the 3/8” flat washer, ring terminal of the custom ground wire and the 3/8” split washer to the bottom most bolt on the NDA-U-RMT.

3. Pull all the wires that need to connect to the AUTODOME through the NDA-U-RMT pipe and then through 3/4″ electrically conductive, liquid tight metal conduit. Note: To minimize the amount of unprotected cables, make sure the conduit is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 3.9”) from the open end of the pipe at the bottom of the NDA-U-RMT.

4. Add a liquid tight, 3/4″ metal conduit adapter fitting with a grounding lug to the end of the grounded conduit near the NDA-U-RMT.

5. Add a cable gland to seal around all the cables that exit the grounded conduit and enter the open pipe at the bottom of the NDA-U-RMT.

6. Seal the bottom of the NDA-U-RMT pipe around the cables as liquid tight as possible.

7. Attach the bare copper end of the ground wire to the grounding lug on the conduit fitting adapter

8. Unscrew the bolt at the bottom of the NDA-U-RMT and add the 3/8” washer and the 3/8” ring terminal on the ground wire.

9. Make sure there is a low resistance measurement between the metal of the bolt head and the grounded metal conduit so that the electrical ground is connected between the NDA-U-RMT and the grounded metal conduit.

10. Make sure the installation is liquid tight.

Notice!
Do not rely on the ground wire to support the weight of the grounded conduit Use a separate mounting hardware that supports the grounded conduit.

Connection

Connecting the AUTODOME camera to the PC

Note: For simplicity, the graphic in this section is only of the camera. The graphic does not depict a mount that you may have installed already.

Note: Consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or other regional standards for cable bundling requirements and limitations.

Note: the non IR camera model requires IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W). The IR camera models require IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (90W).
The camera connects to a network either directly or through a hub. Video, optional audio input, optional audio output, and control are transmitted over a standard TCP/IP network using the built-in Web server. In addition, power can be supplied over the Ethernet cable using a midspan from Bosch (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3/4 (60W/90W)) (sold separately). Power can also be supplied over the Ethernet cable and using PoE+ PSEs (midspans or switches) compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) standard.
24 VAC / 36 VDC power source: This unit is intended to operate at 24 VAC or 36 VDC (if PoE is not available or if redundant power operation is desired). User-supplied wiring must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels).

PoE: Use only approved PoE (IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W)) devices. Power-over-Ethernet can be connected at the same time as a 24 VAC / 36 VDC power supply. If auxiliary power (24 VAC / 36 VDC) and PoE are applied simultaneously, the camera selects PoE and stops auxiliary input.

Warning!
Use only approved PoE devices that meet the IEEE 802.3bt, Type3/4 (60W/90W) standard. Use only approved PoE devices to provide power to the camera, if not using 24 VAC. When powering the camera via PoE or a midspan device, additional surge suppression is required. Use only IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) devices that support electrically grounded conduit with liquid tight seals unless the midspan is included in a electrically grounded cabinet that supports this capability.

• Install the camera according to the instructions in the appropriate Installation section of this manual.

Caution!
Cat5e/Cat6 shielded Ethernet cables must be routed through earth-grounded, liquid-tight conduit capable of withstanding the outdoor environment.

• Connect an Ethernet cable from the RJ45 connector on the camera to any of the following:
  • a dedicated IEEE 802.3 1000Base-T, or 100Base-TX Ethernet network switch, and then connect the dedicated network switch to the RJ45 connector on the PC, to bypass the Local Area Network (LAN). (See the top graphic in the first figure that follows.)
  • a PC, using an Ethernet crossover cable with RJ45 connectors. (See the bottom graphic in the first figure that follows.)
  • a midspan from Bosch that meets the IEEE 802.3bt, Type 3/4 (60W/90W) standard (See the second figure that follows.)
    Note: midspans from Bosch with IEEE 802.3at or IEEE 802.3af are not compatible.)

Connecting 24 VAC / 36 VDC Power
Connect 24VAC +/- 10%, 50/60Hz or 36VDC +/- 10% to Connector X105 pins 1 and 2 as in the figure that follows.

Note: The AUTODOME camera will generally work with either polarity of 24VAC line/neutral, and 36VDC (+) and 36VDC (-) as long as these lines are not connected to more than one AUTODOME camera.

Caution!
Compliance with EN50130-4 Alarm Standard – CCTV for Security Applications To meet the requirements of the EN50130-4 Alarm Standard, an ancillary uninterruptable power (UPS) supply is necessary. The UPS must have a Transfer Time between 2-6 ms and a Backup Runtime of greater than 5 seconds for the power level as specified on the product datasheet.

The following wire gauges and lengths are recommended for the power connection in the AUTODOME camera.

Table 11.1: Wire gauge and maximum distance, 24 VAC, 36 VDC (2MP non-IR model)

Table 11.2: Wire gauge and maximum distance, IR models

Recommendations for third-party IEEE 802.3bt PoE Power Supply
Bosch recommends the use of one of the IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) midspans for use with the non-IR AUTODOME camera model and one of the IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (90W) midspans for use with the AUTODOME IR camera models. By using them, you make sure to meet all AUTODOME specifications and access to all features.
In general, you can use a third-party IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60W) compliant midspan or PSE with the non-IR AUTODOME camera model and a third-party IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (90W) compliant midspan or PSE with the AUTODOME IR camera models, as long as it meets the power requirements as in the table that follows.

Model| Minimum current output required (Amps)| Minimum power output required (Watts)
---|---|---
24 VAC,

50/60 Hz

| PoE 54 VDC| 36 VDC| 24 VAC,

50/60 Hz (PF = 0.6)

| PoE 54 VDC| 36 VDC
2MP (non- IR)| 3| 0.9| 1.3| 43.2| 48.6| 46.8
2MP IR, 4K IR| 4.5| 1.2| 1.85| 64.8| 64.8| 66.6

It must be a UL Class 2 Power supply in an electrically Earth-grounded metal box with a liquid-tight, electrically grounded metal conduit that is connected between the box and the AUTODOME camera.
The power redundancy feature is only guaranteed to work with the Bosch supplied midspans mentioned on the AUTODOME camera datasheet since it depends on other power supply features beyond the IEEE 802.3bt standard.

It is recommended that any third-party IEEE 802.3bt midspan support a retry feature if there is a momentary over-current.

Recommendations for 24 VAC Power Supply
Bosch does not offer a 24VAC power supply accessory with enough power for the AUTODOME camera.
A 24VAC, 50/60Hz power supply must meet the following requirements to be used with the AUTODOME camera.
The power supply must provide 24VAC +/-10% voltage at the camera after any voltage drop across the cable, and for the following current and power loads as in the table that follows.

Model| Minimum current output required (Amps)| Minimum power output required (Watts)
---|---|---
24 VAC,

50/60 Hz

| PoE 54 VDC| 36 VDC| 24 VAC,

50/60 Hz (PF = 0.6)

| PoE 54 VDC| 36 VDC
2MP (non- IR)| 3| 0.9| 1.3| 43.2| 48.6| 46.8
2MP IR, 4K IR| 4.5| 1.2| 1.85| 64.8| 64.8| 66.6

It must be a UL Class 2 Power supply in an electrically Earth-grounded metal box with a liquid-tight, electrically grounded metal conduit that is connected between the box and the AUTODOME camera.

Connecting liquid tight, electrically grounded metal conduit to Bosch Outdoor Midspans

1. Unscrew and remove the fittings from the DATA & PWR OUT and DATA IN ports of the Bosch Outdoor midspan.
2. Find electrically conductive liquid tight metal conduit with PG16 threads to screw into the two holes, or find an appropriate liquid tight fitting to adapt a PG16 male thread to the conduit of your choice such as ½ “ NPT while maintaining its IP rating.
3. Add 4 wraps of PTFE tape to the threads to ensure IP66.
4. Connect the braided ground wire on the metal housing of the outdoor midspan to earth ground of the system installation.

(Optional) Support for Fiber optic cable installation
The AUTODOME camera supports 1Gbps fiber optic cable output using 1.25Gbps Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules, when used with either the NDA-7100-PENF or the NDA-7100-PIPEF mount.

The following requirements to the system apply when using fiber optics:

• The NDA-7100-PENF or NDA-7100-PIPEF mounts must be used.
• Only 24VAC or 36VDC power are supported.  PoE is not supported.
• Only 1.25Gbps SFP modules are supported.
• The SFP modules and media converter must meet the requirements that follow:
• When using the NDA-7100-PIPEF, refer to see the figure that follow to see how to route the fiber optic cable to minimize the risk of bending the fiber too tightly and possibly damaging it.
• SFP modules cannot be hot plugged.  The power to the AUTODOME and NDA-7100-PENF and NDA-7100-PIPEF mounts must be removed before installing or removing an SFP module.

Warning!
The AUTODOME camera does not support BOSCH 100Mbps SFP fiber modules.

• If an SFP module is added to the NDA-7100-PENF or NDA-7100-PIPEF mount and connected to an AUTODOME camera, the Ethernet port in the camera will automatically be disabled, even if no fiber is connected to the SFP module.
• SFP modules cannot be hot plugged.  The power to the AUTODOME camera and NDA-7100-PENF and NDA-7100-PIPEF mounts must be removed before installing or removing an SFP module.

Note: 24VAC or 36VDC power must be used when using the fiber optic interface.

Requirements for the SFP modules and Media converter:

• Must use 1.25GBps SFP modules.
• Ensure the SFP modules on both sides of the fiber optic line are compatible, and it is recommended that they be the same brand and model.
• Ensure the fiber optic cable used is compatible with the SFP modules – single-mode fiber (SMF)  or multi-mode fiber (MMF) and wavelength compatible.
• Ensure that the media converter which converts fiber back to Ethernet supports the SFP module and fiber optic cable type used.
• The SFP module should support an operational (case) temperature of at least +85°C
• The SFP should comply to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA)

Note: The length of the fiber optic cable used to be determined from the specifications of the chosen SFP modules, fiber optic cables and media converter.

Connecting the Alarm Inputs and Alarm Relay Output
The Alarm Inputs and Alarm Output lines should use twisted pair wires with a foil shield where the drain wire of the foil shield is connected to the chassis/housing ground in the mount (NDA-7100-PIPE, NDA-7100-PIPEF, NDA-7100-PEN, NDA-7100-PENF) as described below.

• ALARM Input 1 (X106.10) should be twisted with DGND (X106.5)
• ALARM Input 2 (X106.9) should be twisted with DGND (X106.5)
• RELAY-NC (X106.6), or RELAY-NO (X106.7) should be twisted with RELAY-COM (X106.8) To connect the drain wire of the foil shield of the alarm input and alarm outputs shielded twisted pair cables to the chassis ground of the NDA-7100-PIPE or NDA-7100-PIPEF mount: To connect the drain wire of the foil shield of the alarm input and alarm outputs, and audio input and output twisted pair cables to the chassis ground of the NDA-7100-PEN, , NDA-7100-PENF, or NDA-7100-PIPEF mounts:

These numbers assume maximum relay load. If switching less than this, re- calculate with the exact switching load for your particular use case to increase the allowed distances.

Maintenance

All bubbles require special care when handling and cleaning to avoid scratches.

Notice!
Risk of damage to the bubble
Handle the bubble with care. Do not scratch the inside of the bubble which doesn’t have a hard coating.

• To avoid excessive moisture saturation inside the housing, limit the amount of time that the bubble is disconnected from the housing. Bosch recommends that the bubble be removed from the housing for no more than five (5) minutes.

Bubble Handling
The bubble may be packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches can quickly affect visibility.

Bubble Cleaning
If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the warnings listed below.

Cleaning the Bubble Interior
The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth. Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the interior surface.

Warning!
Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause the surface to cloud and, over time, cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.

Cleaning the Bubble Exterior
The exterior of the bubble is hard-coated for extra protection. If cleaning becomes necessary, only use cleaning solutions and cloths suitable for cleaning safety glass lenses. Dry the bubble thoroughly with a dry nonabrasive cloth to prevent water spots. Never scrub the bubble with any abrasive material or cleaners.
Bosch recommends cleaning the exterior of the bubble with NOVUS “No. 1” Plastic Clean & Shine (or equivalent), according to manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to www.novuspolish.com to order or to find a local distributor.

Cautions

• Do not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days.
• Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the bubble.
• Do not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp instruments.
• Do not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon Tetrachloride on the bubble.
