UA-Hub Wiring

Connecting the UA-Hub to LAN

Ensure the switch port that is connected to the UA-Hub is on the same LAN
segment or VLAN as the UniFi Access agent. It must also support PoE+ or
PoE++.

Connecting the UA-Pro to the UA-Hub

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the UA-Pro access reader to the UA-Pro PoE
port on the UA-Hub.

Connecting the UA-Lite to the UA-Hub

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the UA-Lite access reader to the UA-Lite PoE
port on the UA-Hub.

2. Connect COM on the push button to REL (-) on the UA-Hub.

Note: REL, REX, and REN all work the same way with push buttons.

Connecting a Motion Sensor

1. Connect NO on the motion sensor to REX (+) on the UA-Hub.

2. Connect COM on the motion sensor to REX (-) on the UA-Hub.

3. Connect V+ on the motion sensor to Line 12V (+) on the UA-Hub.

4. Connect V- on the motion sensor to Line 12V (-) on the UA-Hub.

UA-Hub Quick Start Guide

Note: REL, REX, and REN all work the same way with motion sensors.

Connecting a Siren

1. Connect AUX Powered (NO) on the UA-Hub to the (+) on the siren.

2. Connect AUX Powered (COM) on the UA-Hub to the (-) on the siren.

Note: AUX powered output is 12VDC up to 0.33A.

The diagram below is an example; please consult the manual for your specific
siren.

Third-Party Accessories

Locks

Install each lock in its respective location. Each lock can be installed and
connected to the UA-Hub in one of two ways:

Dry connections

Powered connections, 12VDC

Dry locks do not require power from the UA-Hub and are generally accompanied
by their own external power or power adapter.

Powered locks receive 12VDC power from the UA-Hub.
