Overview:
Altronix HubSat8DiV Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Isolated Camera Power transmits UTP video, RS422/
RS485 data and power over a single CAT-5 or higher structured cable. Unit provides 8 camera channels in a wall mount
enclosure. Video transmission range is up to 750 ft. max. per channel. Units are compatible with AC and/or DC fixed or PTZ
cameras when utilizing Altronix HubWayAv or HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiners. In addition, the unit features individu-
ally selectable 24VAC or 28VAC PTC protected outputs with surge suppression. Optionally, the HubSat8DiV can be used as
an accessory module to transmit video from up to 8 cameras over two (2) separate CAT-5 or higher structured cables back to
the HubWay, HubWayLD or HubWayLDH Passive and Active UTP Transceiver Hubs. In addition, the HubSat8DiV provides
power to these cameras locally to eliminate the possibility of voltage drop associated with long cable runs.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified personnel and should conform to all local codes.
Installation Instructions:
HubSat8DiV Passive UTP Transceiver Hub with Integral Isolated Camera Power.
1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes in the
enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place the enclosure’s
upper keyholes over the two upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower two holes. Remove the
enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install the two fasteners. Place the enclosure’s upper keyholes over the two
upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 8).
Secure green wire lead to earth ground.
2. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the [OFF] position (Fig. 4a, pg. 6).
3. Connect 220VAC 60Hz to the black and red flying leads of open frame transformer. Secure ground wire (Green) to
earth ground (Fig. 4, pg. 6).
4. Select 24VAC or 28VAC power output for each of the Channels 1-4 on HubSat Circuit Board A and
HubSat Circuit Board B (Fig. 4, pg. 6) with the corresponding output voltage switches. Select OFF position when
servicing or installing individual cameras (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
5. Connect the BNC video outputs marked [Video 1-4] on Circuit Board A and [Video 1-4] on Circuit Board B to the
corresponding video inputs on the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1a, pg. 4).
6. Connect terminals marked [+ Data --- ] on Circuit Board A and Circuit Board B (polarity must be observed) to the
RS422/RS485 output of the head end equipment (DVR) (Fig. 1f, pg. 4).
Note: The Data input terminals of Circuit Board A and Circuit Board B must be wired in parallel
for proper operation. When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
7. Plug the RJ45 connector at one end of the CAT-5 or higher structured cable into the RJ45 jack marked [PVD1]
on Circuit Board A (Fig. 1i, pg. 4). Plug the RJ45 connector at the opposite end of the CAT-5 or higher structured
cable into the RJ45 jack of the Video Balun/Combiner to be installed at camera 1.
• For 24VAC cameras use Altronix model HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 6).
• For 12VDC cameras use Altronix model HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 6).
HubSat82DiV
• HubSat8DiV with eight (8) HubWayAv Video Balun/
Combiners for 24VAC Cameras.

Repeat this step for all other camera channels [PVD2-4] on Circuit Board A and [PVD1-4] on Circuit Board B.
8. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 4a, pg. 6) power
LEDs (Green) of the HubSat8DiV will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1e, pg. 4) and HubWayAv or
HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiner LEDs will illuminate indicating power is present (Fig. 2b, 2d, pg. 6).
9. Measure the output voltage at each Video Balun/Combiner (Figs. 2b, 2d, pg. 6) before making connections to
each camera to ensure proper operation and avoid possible damage.
10. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the (OFF) position (Fig. 4a, pg. 6).
11. Connect power outputs of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2 or HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiners to the power inputs
of cameras (Figs. 2a-2e, pg. 6). Polarity must be observed.
• HubWayAv/HubWayAv2 - Terminals marked [AC POWER] (Figs. 2a, 2b, 2e, pg. 6).
• HubWayDv - Terminals marked [– 12VDC +] (Figs. 2c, 2d, pg. 6).
12. Connect the terminals marked [+ DATA -- ] of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2 or HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiners to
data input terminals of cameras for PTZ control (Figs. 2b-2d, pg. 6). Polarity must be observed.
When using fixed cameras disregard this step.
13. Connect the BNC connector of HubWayAv, HubWayAv2 or HubWayDv Video Balun/Combiners to the
BNC video outputs of cameras (Figs. 2b-2d, pg. 6).
14. Set illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker to the RESET (ON) position (Fig. 4a, pg. 6).
15. The power LEDs (Green) of the HubSat8DiV will illuminate when AC power is present (Fig. 1e, pg. 4).
Note: If any of the power LEDs are not illuminated the cause may be due to the following:
a. AC mains fail.
b. Illuminated master power disconnect circuit breaker is tripped.
c. An individual power output voltage switch is set to the OFF position (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
d. A PTC is tripped due to a short circuit or overload condition for one or more channels/power outputs.
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 (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
2. Eliminate the trouble condition (short circuit or overload).
3. Set the voltage output selector switch for either 24VAC or 28VAC (Fig. 1d, pg. 4).
