Overview:

Altronix HubWayLD8Di/16Di Active 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
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 HubWayLD8Di/16Di. 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. Set the input voltage selector switch located on the left side of the HubWayLD8Di/LD16Di unit (facing front panel)
for 115VAC or 230VAC operation (Fig. 1k, pg. 4).

2.

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

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).

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

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 HubWayLD8Di/HubWayLD16Di
unit (F

ig. 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 (F

ig. 1d, pg. 4).

7. Connect the BNC video outputs for HubWayLD8Di/LD16Di 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 HubWayLD8Di or HubWayLD16Di unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of the HubWayLD8Di or HubWayLD16Di 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 HubWayLD8Di or HubWayLD16Di 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 HubWayLD8Di/LD16Di (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 cab

le distance must not exceed 3000 ft. for video transmission between the

HubWayLD8Di/LD16Di 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 voltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering each camera
to insure proper operation and a

void possible damage.

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

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

11. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit break

12.

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.

er to the (OFF) position to make the final connections (Fig. 5, pg. 7).

13. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of the HubWayAv or HubWayDv 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 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).

16. The po

wer LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWayLD8Di/LD16Di 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).

17.

AC LED (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LED (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 HubWayLD8Di /LD16Di 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 Channels 1-8 (Channels 1-16) by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
marked [Picture] (Fig. 1g, pg

. 4).

20. Set gain for Channels 1-8 or Channels 1-16 by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers marked [Gain]

(Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
