Installation Instructions - Altronix eBridge16CR Installation Manual

The eBridge16CR is a CAT5 to Coax cable Ethernet receiver. The receiver enables fast 10/100Base-T Ethernet digital com-
munication to be received over Coax cable. This plug and play unit facilitates system upgrades from analog to IP cameras/
devices utilizing existing legacy Coax and eliminating the costs and labor associated with installing new network cabling.
In addition, data transmission over the Coax can be extended to 500m (five times the 100m Ethernet maximum length),
eliminating the need for repeaters. At the same time the unit can combine Composite Video Signal with the Ethernet data
enabling connection to an analog input on a monitor or matrix switch. The eBridge16CR is to be used with a compatible
Hybrid cameras with "sloc" technology. An eBridge1CT is required for other IP cameras/devices.

eBridge16CR is not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected
premises. The eBridge16CR is intended for indoor use only. This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed
Direct Plug-in Power Unit marked "Class 2" and rated from 24VDC to 56VDC or 24VAC, 2000mA.
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip-
ment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect
that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
1. Attach mounting brackets to eBridge16CR unit for rack installation (Fig. 7, pg. 7).
Affix rubber pads to eBridge16CR for shelf installation (Fig. 8, pg. 7).
