HubWayLDH Active Hub Unit
- 3 -
Installation Instructions:
1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayLDH8/LDH16 unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 1i, pg. 4).
2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWayLDH unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 5-6, pg. 8). Affix rubber
pads to HubWayLDH for shelf installation (Fig. 7, 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. 4, pg. 7).
5. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayLDH8/HubWayLDH16
unit
(Fig. 1h, pg. 4). Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.
6. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWayLDH8/LDH16 Channels 1 - 8 (Channels 1-16) to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
7. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the one (1) or both data input terminal
blocks of the HubWayLDH8 or HubWayLDH16 unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayLDH8 or HubWayLDH16 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 HubWayLDH8 or HubWayLDH16 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 HubWayLDH8/LDH16 (Fig. 1a, 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 2-8 or Channels 2-16).
Note: An external power source is required to power the cameras (Figs. 2-3, pgs. 5-6). Optionally, an Altronix
HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power may be utilized (Fig. 2a, pg. 5).
The combined total cable distance must not exceed 3000 ft. for video transmission between the
HubWayLDH8/LDH16 and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.
9. Upon completion of the wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position
(Fig. 4, pg. 7).
10. The video signal indicator LEDs (Red) located on the rear of the HubWayLDH8/LDH16 will illuminate when
video signal is present (Fig. 1g, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are not illuminated, there is no video signal for
that corresponding channel.
11. Optimize the picture quality for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
marked [Picture] (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
12. Set gain for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers marked [Gain] (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
