Safety and Installation Statement
Grounding
This is a Class III product powered by a Class I external power supply, which
provides reinforced insulation between Primary and Secondary circuits.
For correct operation and improved safety, the 4mm earth stud (labeled
“Earth” on rear face of unit) should be connected to an electrical earth ground
with a minimum 16AWG conductor.
Caution: Risk of electrical shock.
If a user contacts 240Vac @ 3A, it may cause serious injury or death.
If the network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be
sure their electrical safety grounds are securely interconnected.
Network cabling may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (such as
lightning or disturbances in the electrical utilities power grid). Handle exposed metal
components of the installation with caution.
Servicing
There are no user-serviceable parts inside these products. Any maintenance or repair
must be performed by approved service-trained personnel.
This product does not have a power switch; it is powered on when the adapter’s power
cord is plugged in.

3 Initial Setup
Installation into a 19” rack
There are two ways of mounting RMS Compact II into a 19” rack system. The first is
in the standard horizontal 19” rack configuration.
Using the 1U Adapter Brackets
The unit can be mounted in the rack as a standard 1U unit, using the supplied adapter
brackets. The fitting instructions are shown below:
Step One –Fit cage nuts
Figure 3-1. Fit cage nuts (not supplied).

Step Two –Attach mounting brackets
Figure 3-2. Attach supplied 19" mounting brackets.
1U mounting brackets are attached as above using 4 screws (supplied).
Step Three –Screw RMS Compact II into rack
Figure 3-3. Screw RMS Compact II into rack.
Step Four–Make connections
Connect Power, Ethernet connection, Relay Output and sensor cables. Please refer to
the Safety and Installation Statement section on page 6. If a user contacts 240Vac @
3A, it may cause serious injury or death.
Zero-U 19” rack installation
The second method of installing the RMS Compact II MCU into a 19” rack is the
Zero-U option.
The provided Zero-U rack mount bracket allows the unit to be placed in the vertical
position at the side of a rack.
