NetWaySP8WP/SP8WPN/SP8WPX Enclosure Mounting and Installation:

1. Remove backplane from enclosure prior to drilling. Do not discard hardware.
Note: Make sure that hardware will not interfere with components of the circuit board.

2. Mark and drill desired inlets on the enclosure to facilitate wiring. Maximum NEMA type 4X rated fittings to
be used are 0.5”. Follow manufacturer’s specifications for the appropriate size opening.
Note: Inlets for conduit fittings should only be made on the bottom of the enclosure.
UL Listed NEMA type 4X rated conduit connector/hubs shall be used for the appropriate size inlets.

3. Clean out the inside of enclosure before remounting circuit board.

4. Mounting NEMA4/4X rated enclosure (Enclosure Dimensions, pgs. 11-12):
Wall mount: Mount unit in desired location. Mark and drill holes to line up with the top and bottom holes of
the enclosure flange. Secure enclosure with appropriate fasteners (e. g. screws and anchors;
bolts and locking nuts, etc.) that are compatible with mounting surface and are of sufficient
length/construction to ensure a secure mount (Fig. 5, pg. 8).
Pole Mount: Refer to Figs. 6 - 10, pg. 8.

NetWaySP8WPX only: In order to properly mount NetWaySP8WPX on a pole using Altronix PMK1,
additional holes need to be drilled in the enclosure’s flanges, so the distance between those holes is 10”.

5. Mount backplane in enclosure with hardware.

6. To facilitate wire entry utilize weather-tight NEMA rated connectors (supplied), bushings, and cable.

NetWaySP8X Enclosure Mounting and Installation:

1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes
in the enclosure. Install two (2) upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding.
Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of
the lower two (2) holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the
enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws. Install the two (2) lower screws and make sure to
tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 9). Secure enclosure to earth ground.

NetWaySP8B/SP8PL Mounting and Installation:

1. Mount board/backplane in the desired location/enclosure
with hardware supplied.

2. NetWaySP8B: Connect 56VDC/120W max power source
to terminal marked [+] and [–].
Note: For proper earth ground connections on NetWaySP8B
fasten metal standoffs (provided) to threaded studs at indicated
board mounting holes (shown on the right).
This is recommended for better environmental immunity.

Installation:

1. For NetWaySP8WP, NetWaySP8WPX, NetWaySP8X, and NetWaySP8PL:
Before powering unit, set input voltage selection switch to proper Input Voltage position (Fig. 3a, pg. 6).
Units are factory set for 115VAC.

2. Secure cabinet to earth ground. Connect AC power from overcurrent protective device circuit breaker
(20A @ 115VAC, 60Hz, 16A @ 230VAC, 50/60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] on power supply board
(Fig. 3, pg. 6). Use 14AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
Connect ground lug to earth or green branch wire (12AWG min.).

Note: For NetWaySP8WPN use external 48-55V UL Listed ITE power supply, carefully observing
correct polarity (Fig. 4, pg. 7). Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited
wiring by utilizing separate knockouts/inlets.
Minimum 0.25” spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts.
Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing
equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Refer installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. Connect structured cables from port marked [Port 1] to [Port 8] on NetWay unit to PoE-compliant cameras/
edge devices (Fig. 3, pg. 6). Note: All interconnected devices must be UL Listed.

5. Insert SFP module into port(s) marked [SFP], then connect cable to the SFP module on NetWaySP8B to the
corresponding input of an SFP switch (Fig. 3, pg. 6).

6. Battery Backup (if desired): Connect four (4) 12VDC batteries wired in series to terminals marked
[+ BAT –] (Fig. 3, pg. 6), carefully observing polarity.
When use of stand-by batteries is desired, they must be lead acid or gel type.
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.

7. Please ensure that the cover is secured with:
Key lock and screws for NetWaySP8X, security bolt for NetWaySP8WP, NetWaySP8WPN and

NetWaySP8WPX.

Altronix P1MM and P1SM10 are hot-pluggable SFP fiber transceiver modules and are readily usable with all
Altronix Spectrum fiber optic equipment for 1Gb transmission rates.

P1MM - For use with Multi-Mode Fiber for distances up to 550m.
