HubWay8D / HubWay16D Installation Guide
- 3 -
Installation Instructions:
1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWay8D/16D unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation
(Fig. 1h, pg. 4)
.
2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWay unit for rack or wall mount installation
(Fig. 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 HubWay8D/HubWay16D
unit
(Fig. 1g, 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. 1d, pg. 4)
.
7. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWay8D/16D Channels 1 - 8 (Channels 1-16) to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR)
(Fig. 1f, pg. 4)
.
8. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the one (1) or both data input
terminal blocks of the HubWay8D or HubWay16D unit (polarity must be observed)
(Fig. 1e, pg. 4)
.
Note:
The Data input terminals of the HubWay8D or HubWay16D must be wired in parallel for proper
operation. When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWay8D or HubWay16D 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 HubWay8D/16D
(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.
• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner
(Fig. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5)
.
• For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner
(Fig. 2c, 2d, pg. 5)
.
• For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner
(Fig. 2c, 2d, pg. 5)
.
Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8 or Channels 2-16).
Note:
When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmi ssion, a local external
power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral
Camera Power may be utilized
(Fig. 4a, pg. 6)
. The combined total cable distance must not exceed 750 ft.
for video transmission between the HubWay8/16 and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.
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
(Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5)
before
powering each camera to ensure proper operation and avoid possible damage.
• HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 - Terminals marked [AC POWER]
(Fig. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5)
.
• HubWayDv/HubWayDvi - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +]
(Fig. 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
(Fig. 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
(Fig. 2a-2e, pg. 5)
.
Polarity must be observed
.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
14. Connect the BNC connectors of the HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/
Combiners to the BNC video outputs of the cameras
(Fig. 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 HubWay8D/16D 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. 1d, 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).
