Video balun-combiners, Vb43atf, Fixed camera hookup
INSTALLATION
The VB43 allows you to combine video data and power on a single 4 pair network cable. The following
instructions illustrate the hookup of two VB43 units.
1) Install and terminate a standard network cable run. The ends should be wired in a T568B
configuration.
2) Connect the VB43 at the receiving end of the cable. Use the BNC connection of the unit to feed your
monitor, multiplexer or DVR unit.
3) Connect a Class ll (SELV) power supply to the power terminals of the VB43 unit at the receiving
end. If you are using 12 VDC power note the polarity of the connection. You may also connect a two
wire data signal such as RS422 or RS485 to the Data terminals. The VB43 unit has LED indicators
for both Power and Data. The Data LED will light when data is being sent. The power LED will light
Amber for AC, Green for DC and RED if DC is reversed.
4) At the camera end connect the VB43 unit to the network connection and verify proper LED
indicators. Power is Green for DC, AMBER for AC and RED if DC power is reversed. Data will flash
when data is present. After verifying proper indicators disconnect the network cable and make the final
connections to the camera.
5) Connect the BNC of the VB43ATF to the video output of a camera. Connect the Data terminals if
needed and connect the power terminals to the camera, note the polarity if DC is used. Reconnect
the network cable.
