*2 Use a PoE camera that consumes no more than 6.5 W.
*3 When connecting a PoE camera or PoE+ camera to an external power supply, make sure to use the included
PoE incompatible cable. When the camera side unit can be installed near the camera, connect the PoE
incompatible cable directly to the camera. When the camera side unit is installed far from the camera, use
the included cable coupler (page 31). When a PoE incompatible cable is used, power is not supplied from
camera side unit to the camera.

							4.1.2  When using a 4-channel Receiver Side Unit
IMPORTANT•Use RG -6/U coaxial cable with a loop resistance of 4  W/100  m {328  feet} or less.
• When a PoE camera is connected to a 4-channel receiver side unit, make sure the total power consumption is no more than 40 W.
• Only 1 PoE+ camera can be connected.
• When a 4-channel receiver side unit is powered by PoE, use an external power supply to supply power to the camera.

IMPORTANT
• A BY-HPE11KTA coaxial LAN converter cannot be connected.
• Use Cat-5e or higher Ethernet cables.
• Use 8-wire (4-pair) Ethernet cables.
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect the camera directly to the camera side unit. Do not connect a hub between the camera and the camera side unit. When a
PoE or PoE+ camera is powered by an external power supply, use a PoE
incompatible cable (included with the camera side unit) to connect the camera
to the camera side unit.
• After disconnecting an Ethernet cable, wait at least 2 seconds before connecting
it again. If the cable is reconnected too quickly, power may not be supplied form
the PoE power supply.
• Some crossover-type Ethernet cables cannot supply power using PoE.

							4.2  ConnectionsBefore proceeding with the connections, turn off the power of the unit and other network
devices that will be connected.
Prepare the necessary peripheral equipment and cables.
The ethernet cable and coaxial cable are locally procured.
IMPORTANT
•When using an AC adaptor, make all other connections before finally connecting
the AC adaptor’s plug to the power outlet.
• When using a PoE power supply device, connect the PoE power supply device to the network connector of the receiver side with an Ethernet cable.
1. Connect a ethernet cable (Cat-5e or higher) to the camera side unit and network
camera.
• When using an external power supply to supply power to a PoE or PoE+ camera,
refer to page 31.

							2.First pass the coaxial cable through the BNC connector cover (accessory), then
connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector of the camera side unit.
IMPORTANT
• When connecting the coaxial cable to the unit, make sure that no otherdevices are connected to the coaxial cable. Connecting the coaxial cable to
the unit when there are other devices connected (such as an analog CCTV
camera), may cause damage to the connected device.
• When using existing coaxial cables, disconnect other devices that are connected to the coaxial cable before connecting to the unit.
• Measure the insulation resistance of the coaxial cable  (new or existing) before
making connections.
Insulation resistance value: 1 M W or more for DC 500 V
• Confirm the length of the coaxial cable when using the PoE function (see page 30, page 32).

4. First pass the coaxial cable through the included BNC connector cover  (accessory),
then connect the coaxial cable to the BNC connector of the receiver side unit.
• When connecting 2 or more coaxial cables to the 4-channel receiver side unit, remove the BNC connector cover caps  (accessory) and pass the coaxial cables
through the BNC connector cover.
• When passing the coaxial cables through the BNC connector cover as shown in
the figure  (next page) and connecting the cables to the BNC connector terminals
of the receiver side unit, make sure that the coaxial cables are inserted straight
into the BNC connector cover so that they do not become crossed inside the
cover.
Note
• The BNC connector cover cap (accessory) of the BNC connector cover(accessory) are shipped from the factory in such a way that the cables are
connected to ch2, ch3, and ch4 terminals.
• When removing the BNC connector cover cap (accessory), rotate it slightly to the left.

							7.Connect the output connector of the AC adapter (accessory) to the DC jack at the
rear of the receiver side unit, and plug the AC power cord into the power outlet.
• Secure the cables from the AC adapter output connector using the cable fixing hooks at the rear of the receiver side unit.
• Do not place the AC adaptor on top of the receiver side unit.
• When you operate the receiver side unit, the power outlet should be near the receiver side unit and easily accessible. To prevent the AC cord from being
disconnected if it is pulled, do not place objects near the power outlet.
8. Turn the power on for the network cameras and network devices, then check the
indicators of the camera side unit and the receiver side units.
• If the indicator does not light correctly, see “Troubleshooting” on page 51.
