HubWay8DS
- 3 -
Installation Instructions:
1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWay8DS unit for 115VAC or
230VAC operation (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWay unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber
pads to HubWay for shelf installation (Fig. 8, 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. 5, pg. 7).
5. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWay8DS unit
(Fig. 1e, pg. 4). Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded AC receptacle.
6. Set voltage output selector switch of each camera channel for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
7. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWay8DS Channels 1-8 to the corresponding video inputs on the
headend equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
8. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the data input terminal block of
the HubWay8DS unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWay8DS 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 HubWay8DS (Fig. 1g, 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.
• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner
(Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5).
• For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
• For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner
(Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8).
Note: When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmi ssion, a local
external power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with
Integral Camera Power unit may be utilized (Fig. 4a, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance must not
exceed 750 ft. for video transmission between the HubWay8DS and each camera routed through the
HubSat4D unit.
10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and
measure the output voltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before
powering each camera to ensure proper operation and avoid possible damage.
• HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 - Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5).
• HubWayDv/HubWayDvi - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
11. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position to make the final connections
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).
12. Connect the power outputs of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/
Combiners to the power inputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed.
13. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA –] of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi
Video Balun/Combiners to the data terminals of the cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5). Polarity
must be observed. When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
14. Connect the BNC connectors of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to the
BNC video outputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5).
15. Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON)
position
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).
16. The power LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWay8DS will illuminate when AC power is present
(Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
Note: If any of these LEDs are not illuminated either a voltage output selector switch is in the OFF position
or the PTC is tripped for that channel.
To reset the PTC:
1. 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.
2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).
3. Set the voltage output selector switch for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
17. AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/
Combiners will illuminate indicating power is present at the cameras (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5).
