Overview:

Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power transmits UTP video, RS422/RS485 data and
power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 4 camera channels in a wall mount enclosure. Video
transmission range is up to 750 ft. max. per channel. Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ cameras when
utilizing Altronix HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit
features individually selectable 24VAC or 28VAC PTC protected outputs with surge suppression. Optionally, the HubSat4D
can be used as an accessory module to transmit video from up to 4 cameras over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cables
back to the HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH Passive and Active UTP Transceiver Hubs. In addition, the HubSat4D
provides power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Installation Instructions:

HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power.

1. Mount unit in desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 8).
Secure green wire lead to earth ground.

2. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the [OFF] position (Fig. 5a, pg. 6).

3. Connect 115VAC 60Hz to the black and white flying leads of open frame transformer. Secure ground
wire (Green) to earth ground (Fig. 5, pg. 6).

4. S elect 24VAC or 28VAC power output for each of the Channels 1-4 on HubSat (Fig. 5, pg. 6) with the
corresponding output voltage switches. Select OFF position when servicing or installing individual cameras
(Fig. 1d, pg. 4).

5. Connect the BNC video outputs marked [Video 1-4] on HubSat to the corresponding video inputs on the
head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).

6. Connect terminals marked [+ DATA --- ] on HubSat (polarity must be observed) to the RS422/RS485 output of the
head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1f, pg. 4). When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

7. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the CAT-5 or higher structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [PVD1]
on HubSat (Fig. 1i, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the CAT-5 or higher structured
cable into the RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner to be installed at camera 1.

- 2 - HubSat4D

• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5-6).

• For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 6).

• For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
The total cable distance must not exceed 750 ft. for video transmission between the HubSat and each camera.
Repeat this step for all other camera channels [PVD2-4].

8. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5a, pg. 6) power
LEDs (Green) of the HubSat will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1e, pg. 4) and HubWayAv, HubWayDv
or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner LEDs will illuminate indicating power is present (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 6).

9. Measure the output voltage at each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before making connections to
each camera to ensure proper operation and avoid possible damage.

10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the [OFF] position (Fig. 5a, pg. 6).

11. Connect power outputs of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to power
inputs of cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 5-6). Polarity must be observed.

• HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 - Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5-6).

• HubWayDv/HubWayDvi - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).

12. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video
Balun/Combiners to data input terminals of cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2b-2d, pg. 6). Polarity must be observed.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

13. Connect the BNC connector of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to
the BNC video outputs of cameras (Figs. 2b-2d, pg. 5).

14. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5a, pg. 6).

15. The power LEDs (Green) of the HubSat will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: If any of the power LEDs are not illuminated the cause may be due to the following:
a. AC mains fail.
b. Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is tripped.
c. Primary in-line fuse is blown.

Note: Replace fuse with same type and rating:

Primary
In-line Fuse

Primary in-line fuse is rated @ 3.5A/250V (Fig. 5b, pg. 6).
d. An individual power output voltage switch is set to the [OFF] position (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
e. A PTC is tripped due to a short circuit or overload condition for one or more channels/power outputs.
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 (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).

2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).

3. Set the voltage output selector switch for either 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).

HubSat4D for use as a Remote Accessory Module with HubWay/HubWayLD/HubWayLDH UTP Transceiver Hubs.

After completing steps 1-4 of Installation Instructions HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera
Power proceed with the following.

1. For fixed cameras run a single CAT-5 cable between HubSat and HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH to allow
video transmission of up to four (4) cameras. For PTZs run two (2) CAT-5 cables between HubSat and
HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
a. Connect one (1) of the CAT-5 cables to the RJ45 jack marked [Video 1-4] on HubSat. Connect the
opposite end of this CAT-5 cable into the RJ45 jack marked [CH 1-4] of HubWay, HubWayLD or
HubWayLDH unit (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
b. For data (PTZ) connect the second CAT-5 cable to the RJ45 jack marked [Data 1-4] on HubSat. Connect
the opposite end of this CAT-5 cable into any unused RJ45 jack marked [1-16] of HubWay, HubWayLD or
HubWayLDH unit (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
Note: Data inputs of HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH units must be wired in parallel for proper operation.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

2. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the CAT-5 or higher structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [PVD1]
on HubSat (Fig. 1i, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the CAT-5 or higher structured
cable into the RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner to be installed at camera 1.

• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 5-6).

• 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).
The total cable distance must not exceed 750 ft. for video transmission between the HubSat8D and each camera.
Repeat this step for all other camera channels [PVD2-4].
