Removing/Installing the Back Cover

The steps listed below are only required if you need to access the inside of the camera housing. 

Make sure the power 

supply to the camera is disconnected before opening the housing!
Caution:

 In order to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge, you should touch a grounded device before opening 

the housing of the camera (e.g., the blank metal at the back of a computer). This will remove any static electricity that 
may have built up.

1.  Remove the cover

Remove the back cover of the p25 by insert-
ing a flat-head screwdriver into one of the 
slots at the side as shown in the figure and 
turning it slightly. Repeat the process for 
the two other slots and lift the back cover 
from the housing.

2. Follow the procedures

Follow the procedures for the work inside 
the housing as described in the sections 
listed below:

• 

➔ 

Inserting/Exchanging the SD Card

• 

➔ 

Installing the MX-Bus-IO-Module

3. If required, enlarge the cable guide

If the cable guide is not large enough for 
additional cables, enlarge the guide accord-
ingly. Depending on the size required, break 
out either one or two elements of the cable 
guide using pliers (see blue markings in 
the figure).

4. Attach back cover

Insert the back cover, so that the large arrow 
(highlighted blue in the figure) is positioned 
in the viewing direction of the camera. Make 
sure the cables and wires are guided prop-
erly thought the cable guide, then carefully 
press the back cover into the housing until 
it clicks into place.

Installing the Lens (Only MX-p25-BOD1 Variant)

The steps listed below are only required if the p25 has been ordered with separate lens for self-mounting (see 

«Variants 

of the p25»).

1.  Remove the blind cover

Remove the blind cover that protects the 
image sensor during shipping from the 
lens mount.

2. Install the lens

Screw the lens into the lens mount. Depend-
ing on the physical length of the lens, you 
can use your hand and then the red lens 
wrench (item 1.9). After initial operation of 
the camera, remember to adjust the focus of 
the lens (see 

«Initial Operation of the p25»).

Installing the MX-Bus-IO-Module

For the p25, you can use the optionally available MX-Bus-IO-Module to attach MxBus devices (e.g., an 
MX-GPS-Box), to attach external sensors using the signal inputs and to switch other devices via the signal 
outputs. To facilitate the installation of the module, you should attach the connection wires before inserting 
the module.

Follow the instructions in section 

«Removing/Installing the Back Cover» to access the inside of the camera 

and to close it again after inserting the module.

2. Insert the MX-Bus-IO-Module

Hold the MX-Bus-IO-Module with attached 
connection wires over the receptacle on the 
main board (red arrow in figure).

Use one finger to carefully press the board 
of the module onto the receptacle. Make 
sure that the green terminal connector block 
is pointing upward (towards the SD card, 
see red arrow in figure below).

Make sure that the MX-Bus-IO-Module is 
fully inserted.

Please also make sure that the connection 
wires are guided through the housing without 
tension and in a loop so that the cables 
do not lift the module out of its receptacle 
when adjusting the camera tilt (see figure).
