IMPORTANT

For best results, please read this Instruction Booklet prior to installing the EX26LED illuminator.

WARNING !

CSA Certified / UL Listed CLASS 2 power adaptors must be used in order to comply with electrical safety standards.

EU Directives covered by this declaration:

72/9/EC Low Voltage Directives

89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. will not be responsible for injuries or damages resulting from the improper installation or use of any product sold by Bosch Security Systems, Inc their agents, distributors or dealers.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a digital device, pursuant to part

15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. As part of its’ normal operation this device can generate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the installation manual may cause interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur on a particular installation. If the device does cause interference to radio or television reception the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1) Fit Ferrite beads on all cable to and from the power supply box, within the box walls.

2) Route the composite cable between the camera and the power supply in steel conduit piping over the entire run of the cable up to and including connection to a deep conduit base fitted under the camera and a conduit fitting adaptor in the wall of the PSU box.

DESCRIPTION

The EX26LED Infrared Illuminator is a versatile short to mid-range illuminator (60 feet / 20 m with 850 nm LED’s, at a 30° beam angle). It is encased in a weather-tight cast and extruded aluminum housing and is equipped with a Ubracket for instant installation. As a 12 VDC / 24

VAC unit, it is ideal for existing CCTV installations and new CCTV projects that specify

24 hour surveillance in and around buildings in

24V ac operation, and a range in between, also providing protection from voltage surge, transient spikes, and reverse voltage. covert or semi-covert conditions.

A voltage regulator circuit allows for 12V dc or

INITIAL PREPARATIONS



Determine the operating voltage at the installation site. The illuminator has been pre-wired at the factory for 24V ac operation.

Section 1 – Voltage Setting.



All illuminators have been tested prior to shipment. After the wiring has been reconnected, it is advisable to check the illuminator’s operation before installation.

Select a suitable location that is protected from accidental damage, tampering, and environmental conditions exceeding the illuminator’s specifications.

Caution: The selected mounting location should not place the illuminator in a situation where its environmental specifications could be exceeded.

Ensure the selected location is protected from falling objects, accidental contact with moving objects, and unintentional interference from personnel. Follow all applicable building codes.

5



The following installation guidelines must be followed:

• Locate the illuminator such that it cannot be easily interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.

• Select a mounting surface capable of supporting the combined weight of the illuminator and mounting hardware under all expected conditions of vibration and temperature.

• Secure all cabling.

•

Installations on drywall must use a ¼” bolt and drywall butterfly type anchor or superior connection.

GUIDELINES

Two basic requirements must be met before the

EX26 can be installed.

2. Illuminator Wiring & Settings

Sections 1 and 2 will guide the installer through these settings and adjustments.

6

The EX26, when shipped, is connected for

24V ac operation.

Note: Input voltages between 13.5 and 28V, ac or dc, will work in the 24V ac input setting.

Step 1.1 - If 12V dc operation is required, remove the screw located at the rear of the housing. (Figure 2-1)

Step 1.2 - For 24Vac operation:

For 12V dc operation: Power is

black (GND) and red (+ dc).

Step 1.3 - Before closing the end, ensure the gasket is seated properly on the enclosure (flat against the edge).

Close the end and tighten the screw.

Step 1.4 - Test the illuminator for proper operation.

2. ADJUSTMENTS - ILLUMINATOR

For optimum picture quality the illuminator brightness can be adjusted to match the camera. It would be beneficial for the installer to have a connected IR sensitive camera during this adjustment phase.

The following steps show the installer how to access the Illuminator/LED board.

Step 2.1 - Disconnect the power source to the illuminator.

Step 2.2 - Remove the four cap screws with a

3mm Allan key. See Figure 2-1 on page 11.

10

Step 2.3 - Carefully slide out the rear housing from the main enclosure. Make sure the gasket remains with the rear section..

Step 2.4 - Make the necessary adjustments as per Figures 1-1 to 1-2 on pages 8 to 9 respectively.

Step 2.5 - Carefully slide rear section back into the main enclosure and re-install the cap screws.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE – LEDs

PROBLEM

Fuse Blows

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

-

Check the fuse rating.

Don’t know if

LEDS are “ON”

- Check for shorting between the housing and the input power wires.

-850nm LEDs will have a faint red glow when

“ON”.

-940nm LEDs are covert.

-Aim the LEDs directly at an IR sensitive camera, or use a mirror to see the lights through the EX35 camera, or wait for the

LEDs to warm up (two minutes).

13

LEDs are not

“ON”

LEDs are not turning “OFF” when sufficient ambient light is present

- Cover the photocell to activate power to the

LEDs (up to 30 seconds delay for activation).

- Adjust the photocell’s variable resistor towards the “ON” position.

- Adjust power to the

LEDs.

- Make sure the photocell is not covered or hidden behind any object.

- Adjust the photocell’s variable resistor towards the “OFF” position (up to

30 seconds delay). The

LEDS will stay “ON” or

“OFF” if the adjustments are at full turn.
