Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70), local codes, and the authorities
having jurisdiction. NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT unit is not intended to be
connected to outside plant leads. These products are for indoor use only and
must be installed within the protected premises. If battery bracket is removed,
then the unit must be installed in a restricted access area (Fig. 1b, pg. 3).

1. Attach mounting brackets to NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT unit for rack
or wall mount installation (Fig. 5 or 6, pg. 8).
Affix rubber pads to NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT for shelf installation (Fig. 7, pg. 8).

2. Secure the unit in a rack or on a wall, or place unit on a shelf as desired.
Note: The following factors should be taken into consideration when installing these rack mount units:
a. The unit is to be installed in a space where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
b. Take care to ensure that there is sufficient air flow around the unit and that obstructions do not impede it.
c. When mounting units in a rack, take care to avoid uneven loading which can cause a hazardous condition.

3. Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT
unit (Fig. 2g, pg. 4). Plug unit into a reliable earth grounded socket. When using multiple units, the sum
of the individual name plate ratings should not exceed the supply circuit rating.
Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.

4. Connect structured cables from port marked [IN] on NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT to the corresponding inputs
of an ethernet switch or video server (Fig. 2b, pg. 4, Fig. 4, pg. 6).
Note: All cabling and wire must be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for their application.

5. Connect structured cables from port marked [OUT] on NetWay4BT/NetWay8BT to PoE compliant
camera/edge devices (Fig. 2a, pg. 4, Fig. 4, pg. 6).

6. When the use of stand-by batteries is required, they must be sealed lead acid or gel type. Connect four (4)
12VDC batteries in series to terminals marked [+ BAT –] (Fig. 2h, pg. 4), carefully observing polarity.
Note: When batteries are not used a loss of AC will result in a loss of output voltage.
