Camera Power

Overview

Altronix HubSat8Di Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Isolated 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 wall mount enclosure. Video transmission range is up to 750 ft. max. per channel. Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ cameras when utilizing Altronix HubWayAv or HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit features individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC PTC-protected outputs with surge suppression. Optionally, the HubSat8Di can be used as an accessory module to transmit video from up to 8 cameras over two (2) separate CAT-5 or higher structured cables back to the HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH Passive and Active UTP Transceiver Hubs. In addition, the HubSat8Di provides power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

  16. AC mains fail.

  17. Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is tripped.

  18. An individual power output voltage switch is set to the OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 6).

  19. A PTC is tripped due to a short circuit or overload condition for one or more channels/power outputs. To reset the PTC:

  20. 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 (Fig. 1d, pg. 6).

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