LongReach 16 Active CCTV Receiver Hub

Using with Large Power Transformers

The LongReach 16 comes with its own 24VAC power transformer. The product also works in

conjunction with large central power transformers. When using the product with large power

transformers, in order to ensure correct operation, the following guidelines must be respected:

1. When the power transformer is powering several hubs, power leads going to each hub must

have the same phase. If the power connections on each hub have a different phase, then

there will be intermittent problems.

2. Ensure that the total amperage of the power transformer is sufficient to drive each hub. The

power transformer must be able to supply up to 2.5A @ 24VAC (60VA) to each hub.

Therefore if one power transformer is used to power four hubs, the power transformer must

be able to supply at least 10A. In Europe the power transformer should be 70VA.

Maximum Distance

The maximum distance achievable with LongReach 16 from the camera to DVR is 4,500 feet.

The hub may be placed up to 4,000 feet from the camera and up to 500 feet from the DVR.

As the maximum distance is approached, there may be noticeable loss of color, brightness and

sharpness. To a certain degree, the image may be adjusted at the DVR, PC or monitor.

However, as a guideline, it is recommended to perform a pilot test with the hub under worst

case conditions to ensure user acceptable image results. This would involve testing a camera in

extreme bright or dark surroundings and connecting it the furthest distance from the hub.
