Altronix HubWayLD8DS UTP Active Transceiver Hub Installation Guide

Altronix HubWayLD8DS UTP Active Transceiver Hub

Overview

Altronix HubWayLD8DS Passive UTP Transceiver Hub w/Integral Camera Power transmits UTP video, RS422/RS485 data and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 8 camera channels in a space saving 1U EIA 19” rack mount chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted. Video transmission range is up to 3000 ft. max. per channel. Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ cameras when utilizing Altronix HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit features individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC, PTC protected outputs with surge suppression. An optional HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power unit can be used as an accessory module to transmit video from up to 4 cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable back to the HubWayLD8DS. In addition, the HubSat4D units provide power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Installation Instructions

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayLD8DS unit for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 1k, pg. 4).

2. Attach mounting brackets to the HubWayLD unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber pads to the HubWayLD unit for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).

3. Secure the unit in a rack, mount unit to a wall or place unit on a shelf as desired (unit should be spaced at least 3” from any video monitors).

4. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7).

5. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayLD8DS unit (Fig. 1f, pg. 4). Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.

6. Set voltage output selector switch of each camera channel for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).

7. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWayLD8DS Channels 1-8 to the corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).

8. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the data input terminal block of the HubWayLD8DS unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).

9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayLD8DS unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [Channel 1] of the HubWayLD8DS (Fig. 1h, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner located at camera 1.

   • For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5).
   • For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
   • For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5). Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8).
     Note: When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmi ssion, a local external power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power unit may be utilized (Fig. 4a, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance must not exceed 3,000 ft. for video transmission between the HubWayLD8DS and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.

10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and measure the output voltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering each camera to ensure proper operation and avoid possible damage.

    • HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 – Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5).
    •  HubWayDv/HubWayDvi – Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).

11.  Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position to make the final connections (Fig. 5, pg. 7).

12. Connect the power outputs of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/ Combiners to the power inputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed.

13. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA –] of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi
    Video Balun/Combiners to the data terminals of the cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5).
    Polarity must be observed. When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

14.  Connect the BNC connector of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/ Combiners to the BNC video outputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5).
    Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7).
    The power LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWayLD8DS will illuminate when AC power is present
    (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
    AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/ Combiners will illuminate indicating power is present at the cameras (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5).
    The video signal indicator LEDs (Red) located on the rear of the HubWayLD8DS will illuminate when video signal is present (Fig. 1i, pg. 4).
    If any of these LEDs are not illuminated, no video signal is presentfor that corresponding channel.
    Note: If any of these LEDs are not illuminated either a voltage output selector switch is in the OFF position or the PTC is tripped for that channel.
    To reset the PTC:

15. Set the voltage output selector switch for that corresponding channel to the OFF position. Switch must remain in the OFF position for approximately 2 minutes in order for the PTC to reset.

16.  Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).

17. Set the voltage output selector switch for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).

18. Optimize the picture quality for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
    marked [Picture] (Fig. 1g, pg. 4).

19. Set gain for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers marked [Gain] (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
