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.
Section 2.2 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RSL910 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.
Section 2.2.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RSL910 can be equipped with panel adapters 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 2.3 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RSL910 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.
Installing the Device IMPORTANT! Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the line may be subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the following specifications as a guide for VDSL external surge protection: •...
Section 2.3.2 Connecting Low DC Power RUGGEDCOM RSL910'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).
