Overview:

Altronix HubWay8Di/16Di Passive UTP Transceiver Hub w/Integral Isolated Camera Power transmits UTP video,
RS422/RS485 data and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 8 or 16 camera channels in a
space saving 1U EIA 19” rack mount chassis which may be rack, wall or shelf mounted. 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, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit features individually selectable
24VAC or 28VAC electronically isolated PTC protected outputs with surge suppression. An optional HubSat4D Passive
UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power 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 HubWay8Di/16Di. In addition, the HubSat4D provides
power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Installation Instructions:

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWay8Di/16Di 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 (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber pads

to H

ubWay 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 HubWay8Di/HubWay16Di
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 HubWay8Di/16Di 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 HubWay8Di/16Di unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWay8Di/16Di must be wired in parallel for proper operation.

9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWay8Di/16Di 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 HubWay8Di/16Di (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the structured
cab

le into the RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner located at camera 1.

When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

14.

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

15.

Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position

(Fig. 5, pg. 7).

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.
T

o 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

17. AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
