Power Supply Passive Receiver Hub Installation Guide
Models NV-4PS13-PVD, NV-8PS13-PVD and NV-16PS13-PVD
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with a dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings.
8) Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
9) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other apparatus (including DVRs) that
produce heat.
10) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
11) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
12) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
13) Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tipover.
14) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
15) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged
in any way, such as a power supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
This installation should be made by a qualified
service person and should conform to all local codes.
WARNING - Do not install the unit in an environment
where the operating ambient temperature exceeds 122° F
(50° C). The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items, such as
newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. No naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles should be placed on the
apparatus.
WARNING - Do not interconnect multiple
outputs.
WARNING - The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
WARNING - Use only a Certified power cord and plug
(coupler / mains) assemblies for location installed.
WARNING - Power cord is regarded as main
disconnect.
WARNING - The appliance coupler (power
cord/mains) shall remain readily operable.
WARNING - For safety, never put NVT signals in the
same conduit as high-voltage wiring.
WARNING - Do not restrict airflow around any active
powered NVT products.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

The NVT Power Supply Passive Receiver Hub combines a 1 Amp/ channel
power supply with video and telemetry data, for 4 to 16 cameras, all over
UTP wire. Designed for installation in the wiring/IDF telecom closet, or at
the Control /MDF room, the Hub consolidates connectivity via standard
4-pair RJ45 EIA/TIA 568B compliant premises wiring and pinouts.
At the camera, Power, Video and Data connections are made using the
NV-216A-PV (power-video only) the NV-218A-PVD transceiver or the NV-
226J-PV via an RJ45 connector and a single 4-pair cable.
IDF/MDF/Control room connections are BNC. Telemetry data connections
(if required) achieved with single 4-pair RJ45 cable for each group of four
cameras.
The NV-4PS13-PVD supports up to 4 cameras in a compact rack, wall,
or desk-mount chassis. The NV-8PS13-PVD supports up to 8 cameras
and the NV-16PS13-PVD supports up to 16 cameras in a 1U wall, desk
or rack-mount chassis.
Wire Type
The Power Supply Passive Receiver operates well with Category
Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) wire, 24 AWG-22AWG (0,5mm-0,64mm).
The video signal may co-exist in the same wire bundle as other video,
telephone, data, control signals, or low-voltage power. It is also OK to run
NVT signals near electromagnetic fields (in accordance with National
Electrical Code, and other local safety requirements.
DO NOT USE individually shielded twisted pair. Overall shielded, multi-
pair (6pr +) Cat5 is OK.
Do NOT use un-twisted wire.
Wire in underground conduit or wet locations must be polyethelyne-
jacketed, gel-filled.
Due to near-end crosstalk, do not send a transmit and a receive signal in
the same wire bundle. Exception: Up to 2,000ft (600m) Category 5.
Wire in plenum environments must be plenum-rated, per local codes.
RS-422, RS-485, and Up-the-Coax Pan/Tilt/Zoom telemetry signals are
supported.
NVT recommends the use of factory-crimped RJ45 patch cables
rather than unreliable field-crimped RJ45s to connect between the
NVT device and an adjacent female RJ45 jack.
Wire Distance
All measured distances include any coax in the path.
Wire resistance may be measured with an ohm-meter by shorting the
two conductors together at the far end, and measuring the loop-
resistance out and back.
Loop Resistance per 1000ft (300m)
24 AWG
(0,53 mm)
=
52 ohms
23 AWG
(0,57 mm)
=
42 ohms
22 AWG
(0,64 mm)
=
33 ohms
Wire distances are limited to the minimum of:
POWER DISTANCE - the power loss along the wire from the Power
Supply Passive Receiver Hub out to the camera,
- or the -
VIDEO DISTANCE - the video signal distance limit from camera to the
Power Supply Passive Receiver, not to exceed 750ft (225m).
Connecting PVD at the Camera End
Use the NV-216A-PV for fixed cameras, the NV-218A-PVD or the
NV-226J-PV for fixed or P/T/Z cameras. Install per the instructions that
come with the transmitting device using 4-pair wire and RJ45
connectors. Wiring pinouts are:
Connecting PVD at the Power Supply
Passive Receiver Hub
Bring the 4-pair PVD cable from each camera back to the location of the
Power Supply Passive Receiver. NVT recommends that an RJ45 Patch
Panel be used here in conjunction with RJ45 patch-cords. Use of these
EIA/TIA 568B compliant practices allows for easy testing with an RJ45
(LAN) tester, as well as moves and changes.
Connect the PVD signals into ports on the front of the Power Supply
Passive Receiver Hub.
Connecting Power
CAUTION: Before applying power, set
voltage selection switch to proper input line voltage.
Test your PVD connections with an RJ45 (LAN) wiring tester
prior to applying power.
Connect the IEC cable between the power inlet and a grounded electrical
outlet. Switch on the power switch and observe the blue power LED.
LED Channel Power Status
Channel Power Status LEDs (each channel)
OFF
:
No camera connected (<50mA)
GREEN
:
Valid camera load detected
AMBER
:
Caution: Miswire possible
Detects that current in each of the four power conductors is the same,
allowing for the detection of open conductors. For short wire runs under
100 feet on fixed cameras, small mis-matches in connector resistance
may cause LEDs to show Amber. In this case, first verify the wire
continuity with a ohm meter or LAN tester. If no fault found then ignore
as condition is normal. Above 100 feet, or with high current P/T/Z
cameras, the amber LED is an indication that the wire continuity should
be checked with a ohm meter or LAN tester for miswires.
RED
: Over-current shutdown. Check for shorts in the wiring.
Video Distance
Recommended wire distances for best resolution is shown in chart
below
.
Wire distance between the camera and the Power Supply Passive
Recevier Hub should not exceed:
Passive-to-Passive
750ft (225m)
Power Distance
Wire distance between the Power Supply Passive Receiver and the
camera is dependent on the camera’s current draw. Please refer to the
Power Distance Charts below.
