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.
Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is designed to comply with the safety standards for Class I, Division 2, Zone 2 hazardous locations where concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids may be present, as opposed to normal operating environments.
Section 2.3 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be installed on a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or affixed to a panel.
Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900 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.
Secure the adapters to the panel with #6-32 screws. Section 2.4 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900 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 RS900 Installing the Device Installation Guide • Section 2.4.2, “Connecting Low DC Power” Section 2.4.1 Connecting High AC/DC Power To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following: CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC power.
Section 2.4.2 Connecting Low DC Power RUGGEDCOM RS900'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).
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 RS900. The following shows the proper relay connections.
Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900. IMPORTANT! Ethernet cables should be only be connected/disconnected in a non-hazardous area, or when the device is not energized.
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.
