Video Distance
Wire distance between the camera through the Power
Supply Cable Integrator and on to the video receiver
should not exceed:
Passive-to-Passive 225m (750ft)
Passive-to-Active 1km (3,000ft)
Connecting PVD at the Camera End
Use the NV-216A-PV for fixed cameras, or the NV-
218A-PVD for fixed or P/T/Z cameras. Install per the
instructions that come with the transmitting device
using 4-pair wire and RJ45 connectors. NVT recom-
mends 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. Wiring pinouts are:
Connecting PVD at the Power Supply Cable
Integrator
Bring the 4-pair PVD cable from each camera back to
the location of the Power Supply Cable Integrator. 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 test-
ing with an RJ45 (LAN) tester, as well as moves and
changes.
Connect the PVD signals into ports on the front of the
Power Supply Cable Integrator.
Connecting Power
CAUTION: Before applying power, set voltage se-
lection 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.
Channel Power Status LEDs
For each channel, verify that its LED reports:
OFF
: No camera connected (<50mA)
GREEN
: Valid camera load detected
AMBER
: Caution: Miswire possible. Detects that cur-
rent in each of the four power conductors is the same,
allowing for the detection of open conductors. Note
that for short wire runs, small mis-matches in connec-
tor resistance may cause the LED to show Amber. This
condition is normal.
RED
: Over-current shutdown. Check for shorts in the
wiring. Connecting the Video Outputs from the Power
Supply Cable Integrator to the Control Room
Connect the RJ45 jack video outputs on the rear of the
Power Supply Cable Integrator to the UTP receiver in
the Control Room. Use the same EIA/TIA 568B wiring
practices as below. Wiring pinouts are:
The NV-4PS10-PVD supports channels 1 through 4.
The NV-16PS10-PVD supports channels 1 through 16.
Data Connections
The data path from each camera arrives on the front
RJ45 jack of the Power Supply Cable Integrator. For
the NV-16PS10-PVD, data paths are grouped together,
four at a time, and delivered to the Data jack. Use a 4-
pair Cat2 or better cable to bring these data signals
back to the Control Room. For small installations,
these wire pairs may be connected directly to the RS-
422/485 telemetry control output on your controller. In
most cases a “Code Distribution Unit” (available from
the camera manufacturer) is inserted between the
telemetry output and the wire-pairs. This allows one
telemetry output to drive many cameras without hav-
ing to drive too many loads. It also prevents a fault at
one camera from taking down the entire system.
Most cameras that receive RS-422/485 control signals
have a switch that sets whether its 100 ohm termina-
tor is connected or not. NVT recommends that the ter-
minator be switched on for only one of the four
cameras in a group, preferably the camera with the
longest wire distance.
NV-16PS10-PVD Rack/Table Mounting
Ambient temperature must be below 50°C (122°F).
Airflow must be at least 4 ft3/S of un-restricted air-
flow. Many DVRs produce enough heat to exceed this
temperature without
external airflow.
For rack mounting, attach the supplied mounting
brackets to the Hub chassis using the supplied
screws. Note that the brackets allow installation with
the front or rear facing out.
Because the NV-16PS10-PVD weighs 10kg (22lbs.),
some thinner-gauge rack systems may require ad-
dtional rear support. NVT provides a rear-rail mounting
accessory kit (see Accessories) for this purpose.
NV-16PS10-PVD Wall Mount
Attach the optional mounting “L” brackets to two sides
of the unit, using the enclosed screws. The brackets
may be installed facing outward or inward. Inward fac-
ing brackets allow the unit to be mounted on 16“ cen-
ters, useful in US wall stud applications. For easy
connector and LED access, it is recommended that the
front of the unit faces left.
NV-4PS10-PVD Wall Mount
For wall mounting, hang unit onto (2) Pan head screws
mounted to plywood backboard. Screw heads should
be secured approximately 1,2cm (1/2”) off board sur-
face and spaced 11,43cm (4.5”) apart.
