authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.

1. Mount HubWayEX1 in desired location utilizing the mounting hole (Fig. 1, pg. 2). Use a proper fastener and/or wall
anchor when securing HubWayEX1 with screw through its mounting hole to the wall.

2. Connect UL Listed Class 2 power Supply or Class 2 transformer to t er mina ls ma rked [AC/DC Inp ut]
(Fig. 1, pg. 2). Use 22AWG-16AWG wire for this connection.

3. Connect the BNC video output for HubWayEX1 to the corresponding video input on the head end equipment
(DVR) (Fig

4. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the data input terminal
block of the HubWayEX1 unit (polarity must be obser ved) (Fig. 1, pg. 2).
When using a f

5. Connect HubWayAv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a-2b, pg. 2) (or any Video Balun/Combiner or camera with
b

uilt-in Video Balun (Fig. 5, pg. 3) with similar PIN configuration (Fig. 3, pg. 2)) at the camera to the
HubWayEX1 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] of the
HubWayEX1 (Fig. 1, pg. 2). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the str
jack of the Video Balun/Combiner located at the camera.

6. Connect an external power source to the power inputs of the camera (Fig. 4, pg. 3). Polarity must be observed.

7. Connect the ter
terminals of the camera for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2b, pg. 2).Polarity must be observe
When using a fixed camera disregard this step.

8. Connect the BNC connector of the HubWayAv Video Balun/Combiner to the BNC video outputs of the camera
