- 2 - HubWay Passive Unit
Overview:
Altronix HubWay8DS Passive 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 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 750 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 unit 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 HubWay8DS. In addition, the HubSat unit 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 HubWay8DS unit for 115VAC or 230VAC
operation (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
2.
Attach mounting brackets to HubWay unit for rack or wall mount installation (Figs. 6-7, pg. 8). Affix rubber pads to
H
ubWay for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 8).
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 (Fig. 5, pg. 7).
5.
Plug the grounded AC line cord (included) into the IEC 320 connector of the HubWay8DS unit (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Inser
t 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. 1a, pg. 4).
