Overview:

Pace4/8/16PRM are long-range Ethernet receivers that transmit data at 100Mbps full duplex and power via CAT5e or higher cable in a PoE(+) compliant format. Pace4/8/16PRM receivers are powered via a PoE midspan, such as the Altronix Netway series, or by an endspan. The receiver passes the PoE(+) compliant power over the cable to the Pace1PTM transceiver which in turn passes this power to an enabled IP camera/device. These plug-and-play units facilitate cost-effective solutions for IP devices that need to be installed at distances greater than 100m. They also provide a simple way to replace legacy analog products with new IP devices over structured cable.

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
Pace4/8/16PRM is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. The Pace4/8/16PRM and Pace1PTM are intended for indoor use only.
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Do not obstruct any air vents on the unit. It is recommended to leave half space above and below the unit.
Mechanical Loading – The mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Note: Caution: once a PoE connection is established between Pace4/8/16PRM and Pace1PTM, disconnecting the CAT5 from Pace1PTM will not disable the PoE compliant voltage from the Pace4/8/16PRM. Although the Pace1PTM can be reconnected, caution should be taken not to connect the CAT5 wiring from Pace4/8/16PRM to any non-PoE device.

  1. Pace4/8/16PRM installation:
    a. Pace4PRM – Affix rubber pads to Pace4PRM for shelf installation (Fig. 5, pg. 6).
    Pace8/16PRM – Attach mounting brackets to Pace8/16PRM unit for rack installation (Fig. 4, pg. 6).
    Affix rubber pads to Pace8/16PRM for shelf installation (Fig. 5, pg. 6).
    The unit should be located in proximity to an ethernet switch/network, NVR, or video server.
    b. Connect structured cables from port marked [IN] on Pace4/8/16PRM to the corresponding inputs of ethernet midspan or endspan device (Fig. 3, pg. 4).
    c. Connect structured cables from port marked [OUT] on Pace4/8/16PRM to Pace1PTM (Fig. 3, pg. 4).

  2. Pace1PTM/Pace1ST installation:
    a. Secure the unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole.
    The unit should be mounted in proximity of the camera/device.
    b. Connect the structured cable from the IP camera/device to the RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
    c. Connect structured cables from Pace4/8/16PRM to RJ45 jack marked [RJ45 Link] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).

Note: The Pace4/8/16PRM is designed to accommodate Megapixel, HD720, HD1080, and VGA (SD) cameras.
It is important to note that some high resolution and high frame rate cameras may demand faster headend processing ability, such as a PC graphics card, to present a quality image. If the headend processing equipment is insufficient in speed, the image may show pixelation and latency. It is advisable to pretest the system if unsure.
Alternatively, frame rate and resolution may be reduced to accommodate system equipment.
