Bosch Aluminum EX65 Explosion Protected Camera, 5-50mm Lens

The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera is a high-performance, smart surveillance camera for explosive environments. Utilizing Dinion 2X imaging, the camera offers unrivaled image quality in the worst lighting conditions. Electropolished 316L stainless steel construction ensures the ultimate environmental protection available today.

A single pre-assembled unit with an integrated junction box, the EX65 is designed to be easy to install. Through any of the four 3/4 in. conduit entries (M20 adapter also included), connections are made to the convenient terminal block; there is also space for any additional wiring. Also accessible through the junction box is the optional fiber optic module that provides versatility for longer cable runs or where electromagnetic interference is a concern.

When choosing an imaging device for critical applications, you need the confidence that you will receive the best in performance. Dinion 2X delivers! The 20-bit image processing enhances sensitivity; the 2X Dynamic extends the dynamic range. This unique combination provides a sharper, more detailed image with outstanding accuracy in color reproduction even under harsh lighting conditions.

Camera Features:
• 20-bit processing technology
• CCD sensor with Wide Dynamic Range
• Dynamic engine with Smart BLC
• Detail enhancement
• True day/night performance with switchable filter

The EX65 holds all major international explosion-protected certifications for safe use in almost any region of the world. In addition, the EX65 meets NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings. The EX65 has undergone vibration and shock testing to IEC standards, as well as Highly Accelerated Life Testing (H.A.L.T.), which pushes the limits of products to ensure reliability throughout the product's lifetime.

For performance in complete darkness, there is an infrared illuminator available with 3D diffuser technology to guarantee a crisp, clear, evenly-illuminated image even in pitch black darkness. Infrared illumination also eliminates the need for any conventional high voltage lighting to be installed, which cuts costs significantly. For more information, please refer to the EX65 Explosion Protected Illuminator datasheet.

The EX65 gives you the confidence to ensure a safe workplace while getting the picture in the world's most volatile locations.

System overview

Extreme Environment Ready
The EX65 Explosion Protected Camera includes a camera and lens installed and pre-wired into an electropolished 316L stainless steel housing offering excellent corrosion protection. For less corrosive environments, an anodized aluminum configuration is also available. The EX65 holds the most common explosion-protected certifications for guaranteed safe operation in explosive environments and also NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings for wet locations. For operation in areas prone to vibration, the EX65 has been tested to IEC standards for vibration and shock.

Integrated Junction Box
The integrated junction box allows for easy connections to the terminal block for power and alarm outputs. Video is available via a BNC connector or ST fiber connector eliminating the need for a costly external junction box. The alarm-out can be used for switching on external illuminators and can trigger events if motion is detected. In addition, there is sufficient room for the UTP module or extra wiring if multiple cameras or illuminators are daisy chained together.

Ease of Installation
The EX65 features one-piece installation and an integrated junction box for easy mounting and wiring. The EX65 is versatile enough to mount in multiple applications and features remote camera configuration via a standard video cable (Bilinx).

Detail in Extreme Lighting
Cameras in industrial applications must overcome the challenge of providing a detailed image when lighting varies across the scene, such as the dark corners and the bright open areas on the deck of an offshore oil rig. To produce a clear picture in these conditions and to reveal details previously unseen, the EX65 combines 20-bit image processing with wide dynamic range. 20- bit image processing simultaneously captures the detail in both bright highlights and in deep shadows. The wide dynamic range, then, ensures that the camera delivers excellent contrast in the bright areas and details in the dark areas.

2X-Dynamic and SmartBLC
Using 2X-Dynamic technology, pixel-by-pixel analysis provides the user with the most detailed information. Turn on SmartBLC to automatically compensate the image without the need for complicated set-up or without compromising dynamic range.

Detail Enhancement
Features such as Autoblack and Sharpness further improve the details in a scene, pixel by pixel.

Day/Night Mode
The day/night mode provides enhanced night viewing by increasing the IR sensitivity. The IR filter switches from color to monochrome automatically by sensing the illumination level. The filter can also be switched manually via the Bilinx coaxial control interface. An internal through-the-lens IR detector enhances the monochrome mode stability, as it prevents reverting to the color mode when IR illumination is dominant. IR contrast is also measured and used to handle reflected IR light in outdoor scenes.

Bilinx Technology
Bilinx is a bidirectional communication capability embedded in the video signal of the EX65. Technicians can check status, change camera settings, and update firmware from virtually anywhere along the video cable. Bilinx reduces service and installation time, provides for more accurate set-up and adjustment, and improves overall performance. In addition, Bilinx uses the standard video cable to transmit alarm and status messages, providing superior performance without additional installation steps.

Video Motion Detection
The built-in video motion detector allows you to select a programmable area with individual thresholds. The global scene change detector minimizes false alarms caused by sudden lighting condition changes, such as switching on or off the indoor or security lighting. When motion is detected, alarms can be displayed in the video signal, the output relay can be closed or an alarm message can be transmitted via Bilinx.

SensUp Dynamic
By increasing the integration time up to 10 times on the CCD, the effective sensitivity in low light is dramatically enhanced. This is especially useful when relying only on moonlight for illumination.

Transmission Versatility
Enjoy the convenience of having video transmission options. A standard video-out via a BNC connector is accessible in the junction box with enough room for the optional UTP module. A multimode fiber optic video out configuration is also available via the integrated module; conveniently located in the junction box for quick connection to a fiber network via an ST connector.

Wide Temperature Range
Designed with the harshest conditions in mind, the EX65 welcomes deployment in the toughest areas on the planet including the subzero conditions found in the far north or the scorching heat found in hostile deserts. The impressive -50 Degree C to +60 Degree C (-58 Degree F to +140 Degree F) temperature range is standard on all aluminum models.

Global Explosion Protection Certification
The EX65 holds all major international explosion protected certifications for global installation. As a UL listed product the EX65 is certified for the division and zone system per the NEC standards. For Europe it holds the ATEX certification. The EX65 has been tested against and conforms to the international IECEx scheme. For Brazil the EX65 holds the INMETRO certification.

Infrared Illumination
For a complete 24-hour imaging solution, the EX65 Camera can be paired with an EX65 Illuminator to provide a crisp clear picture in complete darkness. The Illuminator turns on when the camera switches to night mode through a telemetry connection which is easily accessible in the junction box.

Various mounting options with the mount adapter
The EXS-ADPT is a stainless steel mount adapter that allows installers to mount an EXTEGRA/EX65 device onto one of a variety of mounting brackets originally designed for the MIC Series of cameras. Installers secure the mounting cradle of the device to the mount adapter, and then secure the adapter to a MIC wall mount bracket (MIC-WMB). The MIC-WMB can be mounted to any of the following MIC Series mounting brackets:
• Spreader plate (MIC-SPR), for installation on a wall
• Corner mount bracket (MIC-CMB), for installation in a corner
• Pole mount bracket (MIC-PMB), for installation on the side of a CCTV pole
