Overview:

Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub w/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 or HubWayDv 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 cable 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.

7. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubSat4D unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher structured cable.

Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of a structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [PVD1] of the
HubSat4D (F

ig. 1i, 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 Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, pg. 6).

•

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

A

. 6).

14. The power LEDs (Green) or Channels 1-4 of the HubSat4D will illuminate when AC power is present

(Fig. 1e, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are off, a loss of AC power output may be due to a tripped PTC caused
b

y a short circuit or overload condition. If all of the LEDs are OFF there may be a complete loss of supply power to
the HubSat4D unit or the illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is in the OFF position or the primary
in-line fuse is blown.*

To restore the power output for HubSat4D:

1- Switch cor

responding output voltage switch to the OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
2- Eliminate the trouble condition.
3- Allow 1 minute for PTC to cool off.
