Veracity HIGHWIRE / HIGHWIRE POE - Manual (Page 2)

InstallatIon seQuenCe
1. mountInG
The hIGhWIre unit should only be installed indoors or in an
appropriately rated enclosure.
The unit should be securely mounted and should not be supported by the
attached cables. Mounting bracket part no VHW-WMB can be used for bolting
the unit to a wall or structure.
Rack panel part no VHW-1U allows installation of up to eight hIGhWIre
units in 1U of a 19 inch rack.
DIN rail part no VHW-DMB can be used to mount the unit onto a DIN rail.
2. PoWer ConneCtIon
hIGhWIre should only be used with a Class II Isolated power supply.
The unit can be powered from either a 12V DC or 24V AC power supply (PSU),
and adjusts to its type and voltage automatically.
If the PSU is shared with other equipment such as a camera, ensure that
the total load current will not exceed the PSU’s rated output.
The power supply voltage should be within the range specified. If in any doubt,
measure the voltage at the PSU’s connector before and then after connecting
the hIGhWIre or other equipment.
If an existing power supply is not available, up to two hIGhWIre units can
be powered by PSU part no VWH-12VPSU-xx (xx = UK, EU or USA). Part number
VHW-RMPSU-xx is designed for rackmount installations and can power up
to eight units.
The PSU cables should be bared, tinned and securely connected to the
hIGhWIre power plug before switching on the PSU. Only one wire should
be connected to each of the power plug’s screw terminals, with polarity as
indicated on the unit’s top panel.
The green LED will blink every 1 - 2 seconds to indicate the presence of power.
3. CoaxIal Cable ConneCtIon
Connect the unit’s BNC socket to the coaxial cable. If another hIGhWIre unit is
connected at the far end and powered up, then the green LED will light steadily
to indicate a good connection.
In some installations, cable condition will force the units to reduce their connection
speed, and this is indicated by the green LED flashing (approx. half-on, half-off).
Only two units should be connected, one at each end of the cable. hIGhWIre
is not compatible with other equipment such as analogue video amplifiers.
4. ethernet Cable ConneCtIon
Connect the unit’s RJ45 Ethernet jack to the camera or other network
equipment using a standard Ethernet cable. Both patch and crossover type
Cat5 or Cat6 cables are supported.
The amber LED will light to indicate a network connection, and will blink off
during network activity.
PoWer over ethernet
Using the VHW-HWPO (Power Over Ethernet version), hIGhWIre can
automatically enable up to 6.5 watts of POE (IEEE Class 1 or 2) to compatible
network devices, via its Ethernet port.
A minimum 12 watt PSU is required for the VHW-HWPO version of hIGhWIre
for example, part no VPSU-12V-U
