Installation

The VH439 is a 4 port video balloon hub with built-in surge protection. The system operates with other Nitek

UTP video equipment including other UTP video hubs, standard video balloon transceivers or active receiver units.
It is easy to mount in small places. The VH439 converts video into twisted pair signal or vice versa.

The diagram below shows only a few of the many possible configurations. If you have any questions about your

particular application call the Nitek sales or technical offices.

To hook up the VH439 connect a video coax to the BNC connector and hook the twisted pair to the matching +

and - terminals. There are 2 possible twisted pair connectors, the standard screw terminal and an RJ45 modular
jack. Both do the same thing and only one may be used. At the other end of the twisted pair connect another Nitek
UTP video unit in the same way. The twisted pair is polarity sensitive so if you are not getting proper video try
reversing the twisted pair. It will not hurt the equipment if the pair is reversed but the video will not be viewable.
