Installation
UTP Video Receiver Hubs are designed to receive standard UTP
video and output standard coax video.
Step 1)
Check the twisted pair for distance and continuity. Do this by
shorting the pair of wires at one end and use an ohm meter to check
the resistance at the other end. The chart below will give you the length
of your wires for a measured loop resistance. Also, use a multimeter to
test the line to make sure there is no voltage on it. Testing each line
and recording the length of each camera run can greatly reduce
installation time. For distances greater than 3,000 feet (900 meters),
longer range units may be needed.
Step 2)
Connect the twisted pair from each transmitter to the input
terminals noting the polarity of the connection. If the wires are reversed
the video will be unviewable on the monitor. Reversing the wires will not
damage the unit.
Step 3)
The receiver hubs are powered from a 12-24 VAC/VDC power
source. In the case of several units a larger central supply may be
used.
