This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
Section 2.4 Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations The RUGGEDCOM RS900W is designed to comply with the safety standards for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations where concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids may be present, as opposed to normal operating environments.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RS900W Installing the Device Installation Guide Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900W can be equipped with panel adapters pre-installed on the top and bottom of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900W. The following shows the proper relay connections.
1. Normally Closed 2. Common 3. Normally Open Section 2.8 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900W supports power input from a single high AC/DC or low DC power supply. IMPORTANT! • For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.

Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RS900W Installing the Device Installation Guide CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
Section 2.8.2 Connecting Low DC Power RUGGEDCOM RS900W's equipped with 24 or 48 V power supply inputs feature reverse polarity protection and dual power supply inputs allowing the device to accept redundant connections to a single DC power supply. To connect a low DC power supply to the device, do the following: NOTE Torque all terminal connections to 0.6 N·m (5 lbf-in).
