Installing the Device 2.4 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay Screw Panel/DIN Rail Adaptor Figure 2.4 Panel Mounting Secure the device to the panel using four #6-32 screws. Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms.
Installing the Device 2.5 Grounding the Device Figure 2.5 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring Grounding the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS400F chassis ground terminal uses a #6-32 screw. It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with a #6 ring lug and torque it to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf·in).
Installing the Device 2.6.1 Connecting AC Power • For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed. • Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks. • A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated equipment. •...
Installing the Device 2.6.2 Connecting DC Power Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative/neutral (-/N) terminal on the terminal block. Using a braided wire or other appropriate grounding wire, connect the surge ground terminal to the chassis ground connection. The surge ground terminal is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
