HubWayLD Active Unit - 3 -
7. Connect the RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) to the data input terminal block of
the HubWayLD8CDS unit (polarity must be observed) (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
8. Connect Video Balun/Combiner at camera 1 to the HubWayLD8CDS unit utilizing CAT-5 or higher structured cable.
Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [Channel 1] of the
HubWayLD8CDS (Fig. 1h, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the structured cable into the
RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner located at camera 1.
• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, pg. 5).
• For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
• For non-isolated 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
Repeat steps 6-9 for each additional camera (Channels 2-8).
Note: When a particular camera exceeds the maximum distance for power transmission, a local
external power source is required. Optionally, an Altronix HubSat4D Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral
Camera Power unit may be utilized (Fig. 4a, pg. 6). The combined total cable distance must not exceed 3000 ft.
for video transmission between the HubWayLD8CDS and each camera routed through the HubSat4D.
9. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 5, pg. 7) and measure the
output voltage at the power output of each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 5) before powering each camera
to insure proper operation and avoid possible damage.
• HubWayAv - Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, pg. 5).
• HubWayDv/HubWayDvi - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 5).
10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position to make the final connections
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).
11. Connect the power outputs of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to the
power inputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed.
12. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
to the data terminals of the cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5). Polarity must be observed. When using
fixed cameras disregard this step.
13. Connect the BNC connector of the HubWayAv, HubWayDv or HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners to the
BNC video outputs of the cameras (Figs. 2a-2d, pg. 5).
14. Upon completion of wiring set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position
(Fig. 5, pg. 7).
15. The power LEDs (Red) located on the front of the HubWayLD8CDS will illuminate when AC power
is present (Fig. 1c, pg. 4).
16. AC LEDs (Green) of the HubWayAv or DC LEDs (Red) of the HubWayDv/HubWayDvi Video Balun/Combiners
will illuminate indicating power is present at the cameras (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 5).
17. The video signal indicator LEDs (Red) located on the rear of the HubWayLD8CDS will illuminate when video
signal is present (Fig. 1i, pg. 4). If any of these LEDs are not illuminated, no video signal is present for
that corresponding channel.
Note: If any of these LEDs are not illuminated either a voltage output selector switch is in the OFF position or the
PTC is tripped for that channel.
To reset the PTC:
1. Set the voltage output selector switch for that corresponding channel to the OFF position. Switch must remain
in the OFF position for approximately 2 minutes in order for the PTC to reset.
2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).
3. Set the voltage output selector switch for 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
18. Optimize the picture quality for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers
marked [Picture] (Fig. 1g, pg. 4).
19. Set gain for all camera channels by adjusting the corresponding potentiometers marked [Gain] (Fig. 1h, pg. 4).
