HubWayEX16S Active Hub Unit
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to all local codes.
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.
1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayEX16S unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 3g, pg. 4).
2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWayEX16S unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 7-9, pg. 8).
Affix rubber pads to HubWayEX16S for shelf installation (Fig. 9, 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. 6, pg. 7).
5. Plug the grounded AC line cord into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayEX16S . For US & Canada the plug
end is a 3 prong type B plug used for standard 115VAC receptacles, as provided with unit (Fig. 3f, pg. 4). For non
North American 230VAC applications use the appropriate 3 prong plug that matches the local standard receptacle.
6. Connect the BNC video outputs of the HubWayEX16S Channels 1-16 to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 3d, pg. 4).
7. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the one (1) or both data input terminal
block(s) of the HubWayEX16S unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 3c, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayEX16S must be wired in parallel for proper operation.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
8. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayEX16S unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher
structured cable. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [1]
of the HubWayEX16S (Fig. 3a, 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.
Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-16 for HubWayEX16S).
Note: An external power source is required to power the cameras (Fig. 4, pg. 5). Connect AC or DC cameras to an
external wall or rack mount power supply, for DC cameras polarity must be observed (Fig. 4, pg. 5).
Optionally, an Altronix HubSat4D/Di Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power may be
utilized
(Fig. 5, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance must not exceed 5000 ft. for video transmission
between the HubWayEX16S and each camera routed through the HubSat4D/Di.
(refer to HubSat4D/Di installation instructions).
Specifica tions:

Data:
• RS422/RS485 data inputs.
Visual Indicators:
• AC input power indicator.
• Video signal LED indicators.
Features:
• Automatic picture and gain control.
• Automatic compensation for reverse polarity wiring.
• Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker
with manual reset.
• IEC 320 - 3-wire grounded line cord (detachable).
• Unit can be rack, wall or shelf mounted.
• 1U rack mount chassis for use in standard EIA 19” rack.
Accessories:
• Optional HubSat4D/Di allows transmission of up to
four (4) video signals over a single CAT-5 or higher
structured cable.
Overview:
Altronix HubWayEX16S Active UTP Transceiver Hub employs automatic gain control (AGC) to transmit UTP video and
RS422/RS485 data over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 16 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 one mile max. per
channel. Units are compatible with fixed or PTZ cameras. An optional HubSat4D/Di Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with
Integral Camera Power 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 HubWayEX16S. In addition, the HubSat4D/Di provides power to these cameras locally
to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.
