Rest the device against the bottom of the DIN rail. Secure the device to the DIN rail with at least one screw (supplied). Apply screws to the adapters on either side of the device. RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installation Manual, 07/2021, C79000-G8976-1048-11...
2.3.3 Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 can be ordered with panel/DIN rail adapters pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact. Note Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 . One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 supports dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies that can be installed in any combination. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides power to both power supplies. The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs.
The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for secure, reliable screws, which must be removed to make connections. RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installation Manual, 07/2021, C79000-G8976-1048-11...
