Overview:

Altronix HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD Active UTP Transceiver Hubs w/Integral Camera Power transmits UTP video,
RS422/RS485 data and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Units 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
3000 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 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 HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD. In addition, the HubSat4D provides power to
these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to
rain or moisture. This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should
conform to all local codes.

Installation Instructions:

1. Attach mounting brackets to HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6a-6b, 7a,
pg. 8). Affix rubber pads to HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).

2. 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) (Figs. 6c, 7b, pg. 8).

- 2 - HubWayLD Active Unit

3. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7).

4. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD
unit (F

5. Set voltage output selector switch for each camera channel for 24VAC or 28VAC (F

ig. 1j, pg. 4). Insert the plug end of the line cord into a grounded 115VAC receptacle.

ig. 1d, pg. 4).

6. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD Channels 1 - 8 (Channels 1-16) to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).

7.

Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the one (1) or both data input terminal
blocks of the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD must be wired in parallel for proper
operation.

When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

8. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD 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 HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD (Fig. 1a, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the
str

uctured 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. 5).

•

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).
Repeat steps 6-8 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8 or Channels 2-16).
Note: When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmission, a local
e

xternal power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral
Camera Power may be utilized (Fig. 4a, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance for video transmission must not
e

xceed 3000 ft. between the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.

9. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and measure the
output voltage at the pow

er output terminals of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering

void possible damage.

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

•

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

10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position to make the final connections
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).

11.

Connect the power outputs of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
to the power inputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2d, pg

. 5). Polarity must be observed.

12. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
to the data terminals of the cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed.
When installing fixed cameras disregard this step.

13.

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

. 5).

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

(Fig. 5, pg. 7).

15. The po

wer LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD will illuminate when AC power
is present (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
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. 1d, pg. 4).

16.

AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
will illuminate indicating power is present at the cameras (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5).

17. The video signal indicator LEDs (Red) located on the rear of the HubWayLD8CD/LD16CD will illuminate when
video signal is present (Fig. 1i, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are not illuminated, no video signal is present for
that cor

responding channel.

18. Optimize the picture quality for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
marked [Picture] (Fig. 1g, pg

. 4).

19. Set gain for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers marked [Gain] (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
