Nitek PV824 - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION
Connecting the PV824 Base Unit
1. Mount the unit in a secure location keeping in mind that your primary power must be routed in through one
of the knockouts in the lower right corner. Remove the protective cover for the primary wiring. Make the
needed primary wiring hook ups and replace the protective cover. Do not power up the unit until all needed
connections are made.
2. Connect wires leading to cameras using 568B wiring. A table of the connections and a 568B wiring chart are
shown on the previous page.
3. Connect a RG59 coaxial cable from the BNC jack to your DVR or other viewing device.
4. A data connection is provided for each camera port. The data path is a straight through connection for each
camera run and may be used for any number of signal types including PTZ control, audio, contact closure,
etc.
5. Power up the PV824 base unit. A red power LED is provided for each camera. When video is present a green
LED will light for the particular port. The green LED indicates video is returning from the camera.
Connecting the Video, Power and Data at the Camera End
1. The PV824 supports a video, power and data connection. These wire pairs can be independently connected
to a UTP ready video camera or to a Nitek balun with power, video and data connections.
2. Power to the PV824 base unit should be off when making camera connections. Connection should be wired
for 568B. A chart of connections and 568B wiring is provided on the previous page.
Troubleshooting
NO POWER LED - A red power LED is provided for each camera. If the power LED is not on for a particular
port, reset the power to the PV824. If the power LED remains off remove the camera connection from that
port and reset power to the PV824. With no load on the port the LED should light, this would indicate a
problem with the camera wire run or the camera itself.
NO VIDEO LED - A green LED is provided to indicate that video is being received at the PV824 unit. If the
video LED is off but the power LED is on then there could be a problem with the camera or the video wiring.
Try moving a working camera to the port in question to confirm that the port is working correctly.
