Altronix Pace1KT Long Range Single Pair Ethernet Adapter Kit Installation Guide

Overview:

Altronix Pace1KT is a long-range Ethernet adapter/transceiver that transmits data and power from Pace1KR or Pace4KR(Q) receivers via twisted pair (2-wire, UTP or shielded) in a PoE(+) compliant format. In addition to new SPE (UTP) Ethernet network installations for Surveillance-cameras/Security/Industrial/BMS/HVAC & Elevator Controllers, applications include upgrading of legacy networks, i.e. LONworks, RS485, 4-20ma Control Loops, etc. by using the existing two wire cabling, thus saving rip-out & reinstallation costs.

Operationally, Pace1KR or Pace4KR(Q) is connected to a PoE midspan/endspan switch at the headend and passes network data and power to the Pace1KT from the switch via UTP up to 1km (1,000m, 3,280 ft.) to a remote 10/100 PoE device, such as a camera. For non-PoE remote devices, data only is transmitted.

• Speed: 10/100BaseT, half/full duplex, auto negotiation. PoE compliant to IEEE 802.3af (15W) and PoE+ compliant to IEEE 802.3at (25W) delivered to device by Pace KR receiver.
  Power provided by Pace KR receiver to Pace1KT by PoE protocol.*

Environmental:

• See Technical Specifications, pg. 3.

LED Indicators:

Applications:

• Upgrade LONworks, RS485, 4-20mA control loops to Ethernet over existing wire pair.
• Building Automation, Elevator Systems, HVAC, Lighting, Surveillance & Security.
• Utilize twisted pair for new installations or retrofit of IP devices over existing twisted pair cabling
• Extend Network link distance in an industrial environment over 1km (1,000m, 3,280 ft.).
• Works with Megapixel, HD720, HD1080 and VGA (SD) cameras with proper headend equipment.

Mechanical:

• Dimensions (W x L x H approx.):
  2.27” x 2.65” x 1.12” (57.7mm x 67.2mm x 28.4mm)

Installation Instructions:

Wiring methods shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code/NFPA 70/ANSI, and with all local codes and authorities having jurisdiction. Wiring should be UL Listed and/or Recognized wire suitable for the application.
Pace KR receivers and Pace1KT are not intended to be connected to outside plant leads and should be installed indoors within the protected premises. Pace KR receivers and Pace1KT are intended for indoor use only.

1. Pace KR installation:
   Follow installation instructions for your particular receiver.
   Refer to the Installation Guide included with the receiver module.
2. Pace1KT installation:
   a. Secure unit to the desired mounting surface with a proper fastening device utilizing the case’s mounting hole (Fig. 2a, pg. 3). Unit should be mounted in the proximity of camera/device.
   b. Connect structured cable from IP camera/device to RJ45 jack marked [PoE Out] (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
   c. Connect UTP to the connector marked [+, –] from receiver (Pace1KR or Pace4KR(Q) (Fig. 2, pg. 3).
