Installation Instructions; Installation; Power Connection; Input/Data Connections - Altronix netway SPECTRUM NetWaySP41BT3 Series Installation Manual

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes
and authorities having jurisdiction. All units should be installed by a trained service personnel.

Installation:

NetWaySP41BTPL3:
1. Mount backplane in the desired location/enclosure with hardware supplied.
NetWaySP41BTWP3/NetWaySP41BTWPX3:
1. Remove backplane from enclosure prior to drilling. Do not discard hardware.
Note: Make sure that hardware will not interfere with components of the circuit board.
2. Mark and drill desired inlets on the enclosure to facilitate wiring. Maximum NEMA type 4X rated fittings
to be used are 0.5". Follow manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate size opening.
Note: Inlets for conduit fittings should only be made on the bottom of the enclosure.
To facilitate wire entry utilize weather-tight NEMA rated connectors (supplied), bushings, and cable.
3. Clean out the inside of enclosure before remounting circuit boards/backplane.
4. Mounting NEMA4/4X rated enclosure (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 9, 10):
Wall mount:
Mount unit in desired location. Mark and drill holes to line up with the top and bottom
hole of the enclosure flange. Secure enclosure with appropriate fasteners (e. g. screws
and anchors; bolts and locking nuts, etc.) that are compatible with mounting surface and
are of sufficient length/construction to ensure a secure mount (Fig. 2, pg. 6).
Pole Mount:
Refer to Fig. 3 - 7 pg. 6.
5. Mount backplane in enclosure with hardware.
NetWaySP41BTX3:
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 (2) upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding.
Place the enclosure's upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of
the lower two (2) holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the
enclosure's upper keyholes over the two (2) upper screws. Install the two (2) lower screws and make sure to
tighten all screws (Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 11). Secure enclosure to earth ground.

Power Connection:

1. Secure cabinet to earth ground. Connect AC power from overcurrent protective device circuit breaker
(20A @ 115VAC, 60Hz, 16A @ 230VAC, 50/60Hz) to the terminals marked [L, N] on power supply board
(Fig. 1, pg. 5). Use 14AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, DC output, AC input).
Connect ground lug
Keep power-limited wiring separate from non power-limited wiring by utilizing separate knockouts/
inlets. Minimum 0.25" spacing must be provided.
CAUTION: Do not touch exposed metal parts. Shut branch circuit power before installing or servicing
equipment. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer installation and servicing to qualified
service personnel.

Input/Data Connections:

1. Connect structured cables from port marked [Port 1] to [Port 4] on NetWay unit to PoE compliant
cameras/edge devices (Fig. 1, pg. 5).
2. Insert SFP module into port(s) marked [SFP], then connect cable to the SFP module on NetWaySP4BTB to
the corresponding input of an SFP switch (Fig. 1, pg. 5).

Battery Backup:

1. Connect two (2) 12VDC batteries wired in series or one (1) 24V battery to terminals marked [– BAT +]
(Fig. 1, pg. 5), carefully observing polarity. When use of stand-by batteries is desired, they can be LiFePO 4
(lithium iron phosphate), lead acid or gel type. If batteries are housed in a weather-proof enclosure
(NetWaySP41BTWP3, NetWaySP41BTWPX3), it must be properly ventilated. Use Altronix Vent2 kit.
Note: When batteries are not used, a loss of AC will result in the loss of output voltage.
Note: When using two 12V LiFePO 4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries, check with manufacturer
specifications that batteries can be connected in series.
For outdoor battery backup, battery enclosure must have sufficient ventilation.

Security:

Please ensure that the cover is secured with:
Key lock and screws for NetWaySP41BTX3, Security Bolt for NetWaySP41BTWP3 and NetWaySP41BTWPX3.
