- 2 - HubSat8D
Overview:
Altronix HubSat8D 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 wall mount enclosure. 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 individual-
ly selectable 24VAC or 28VAC PTC protected outputs with surge suppression. Optionally, the HubSat8D can be used as an
accessory module to transmit video from up to 8 cameras over two (2) separate CAT-5 or higher structured cables back to
the HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH Passive and Active UTP Transceiver Hubs. In addition, the HubSat8D provides
power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

Installation Instructions:
HubSat8D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Camera Power.
1. Mount unit in desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install tw
o upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws, level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 8).
Secure g
reen wire lead to earth ground.
2. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig
. 4a, pg. 6).
3. Connect 115VAC 60Hz to the black and white flying leads of open frame transformer. Secure ground
wire (Green) to earth ground (Fig. 4, pg. 6).
4.
Select 24VAC or 28VAC power output for each of the Channels 1-4 on HubSat Circuit Board A and
HubSat Circuit Board B (Fig. 4, pg. 6) with the corresponding output voltage switches. Select OFF position when
ser
vicing or installing individual cameras (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
5.
Connect the BNC video outputs marked [Video 1-4] on Circuit Board A and [Video 1-4] on Circuit Board B to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
6.
Connect terminals marked [+ Data ---] on Circuit Board A and Circuit Board B (polarity must be observed) to the
RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of Circuit Board A and Circuit Board B must be wired in parallel
for proper operation.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
