Overview:

Altronix HubWayLD8D/16D Active 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 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 HubWayLD8D/16D. In addition, the HubSat4D provides power to these cameras locally to
eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

all local codes.

Installation Instructions:

1. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayLD8D/LD16D unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 1k, pg

2. Attach mounting brackets to HubWayLD unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber pads
to H

ubWayLD for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).

. 4).

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 (F

ig. 5, pg. 7).

5. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWayLD8D/HubWayLD16D
unit (Fig. 1j, 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 HubWayLD8D/LD16D 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 HubWayLD8D or HubWayLD16D unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayLD8D or HubWayLD16D must be wired in parallel for proper
operation.

When using fixed cameras disregard this step.

9. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayLD8D or HubWayLD16D 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 HubWayLD8D/LD16D (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.

• 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 6-9 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 must not exceed 3000 ft. for
video transmission between the HubWa

yLD8D/LD16D and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.

10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and measure the
output v
to insure proper operation and a

oltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering each camera

void possible damage.

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

12. Connect the po

wer 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.

13.

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 using fixed cameras disregard this step.

14. Connect the BNC connectors of the HubW

ayAv, 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).

16. The power 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.
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 appro

ximately 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).

17.

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).

18. 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.

19. Optimize the picture quality for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
marked [Picture] (Fig. 1g, pg. 4).

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