Safety instructions

IMPORTANT: Video fire indication systems are video content analysis systems. They give indications for possible fires and are designed to supplement fire detection systems and human guards in monitoring centers in order to recognize possible dangerous situations.
Video fire indication systems are confronted with a higher amount of challenges considering scenery and background compared to conventional fire detection systems. They cannot ensure that fire will be detected reliably in all scenery settings. Thus, the video fire detection system shall be seen as a support system that enhances the probability of early fire detection, with the restriction that it shall not be seen as a system that ensures fire detection in all possible image scenarios and it might detect false alarms. Conventional fire alarm systems must in no way be replaced by video-based fire alarm systems.

In addition, and for the U.S. market only, Seller makes no representation that the video fire indication system will prevent any personal injury or property loss by fire or otherwise; or that such product will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained fire indication system may only reduce the risk of a fire or other events occurring without providing an alarm, but it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or property loss as a result.

Consequently, seller shall have no liability for any personal injury, property damage or other loss based on a claim the product failed to give warning.

| Warning!
Configuration changes that you make in Expert Mode differ from the parameters that have been tested and secured by Bosch Sicherheitssysteme GmbH, and are not covered by VdS certification. This means it is your responsibility to ensure the reliability of the fire detection and, if necessary, fire tests. Sicherheitssysteme GmbH assumes no liability for the reliability of fire detection in case of configuration changes in Expert Mode.

| Warning!
Do not moisten the electronic appliances inside of the lens. It may cause fire or electric shock. In this case, shut off the power supplied to the lens immediately.
| Caution!
Do not leave or store the lens under direct sunshine. The lens may focus rays of light on a near-by object and cause fire.
| Caution!
In case of unusual behavior, smoke, noise or smell coming out of the lens, shut off the power immediately and pull out the lens cable. Notify the installer or sales agent from which you purchased the product
| Caution!
The Low Voltage power supply unit must comply with EN/UL 60950. The power supply must be a SELV-LPS unit or a SELV – Class 2 unit (Safety Extra Low Voltage – Limited Power Source).
| Caution!
Installation should only be performed by qualified service personnel in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC 800 CEC Section 60) or applicable local codes.
| Notice!
Qualified personnel only. Assembly and installation must only be performed by qualified personnel.
---|---
| Notice!
No direct connection to fire services in EN54 compliant installations. Authorities can allow a connection to fire services after verifying alarms in a monitoring center
| Notice!
Reduced detection distances at image margin area. Due to optical distorsion of the lens, the maximum detection distances at the image margin area are reduced.
| Notice!
Activating video-based fire detection sets camera settings to a specific preset. This preset affects several camera settings as long as this mode is activated.
| Notice!
Avoid backlight. Backlight can disturb the video-based fire detection algorithm.
| Notice!
Respect data protection. The relevant data protection and privacy rules are to be complied with.
| Notice!
Minimum Illumination required. To ensure the proper functioning of the video- based fire detection algorithm, a minimal illumination of 2 lx is required. If the illumination is less than 2 lx, an additional IR illumination is required.
---|---
| Notice!
No detection of moving fire. Moving fires will not be detected by the video- based fire detection.
| Notice!
No existing standards. There are no existing EN standards concerning the video-based fire detection.
| Notice!
Avoid obstructions in the field of view! Covered fires cannot be detected correctly. An unobstructed view of the detection area is necessary.
**| Notice!
Optimized smoke detection. The video-based fire detection algorithm is optimized for smoke of smoldering fires.
| Notice!
Calm wind conditions only. Strong air currents can cause false alarms by raising dust or debris similar in appearance to fire and smoke
| Notice!
Avoid image regions with continuous upward motion. Continuous upward motion might lead to false alarms.
| Notice!
Make sure the camera is firmly mounted. Camera shake might lead to false alarms. Avoid vibrations of the camera and the camera environment.
---|---
| Notice!
Only use the supplied lens or approved lenses. Do not use other lenses. A reliable functioning of the product cannot be guaranteed with other lenses.
| Notice!
No detection of irregular expanding smoke. Smoke plumes must move in a constant direction with a minimum density to be detected by the video-based fire detection.
| Notice!**
No detection in blinking light regions in the detection area.
