Introduction
Feature Highlights 1
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch providing dual fiber
optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports, each capable of supplying high power 802.3at
compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF provides a high level
of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric
utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40 to
85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with optional conformal coating and a powder coated aluminum enclosure allows
the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF to be placed in almost any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM ROS (Rugged Operating System) provides advanced networking features such as
Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP), Port Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high
network availability and manageability.

Installing the Device
This section describes how to install the device, including mounting the device, connecting power, and
connecting the device to the network.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing
any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has been disconnected and wait
approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
WARNING!
Burn hazard – risk of serious personal injury. Avoid contact with the surface of the unit. The metal
surface may be hot due to the high allowable ambient temperature per specification.
WARNING!
Radiation hazard – risk of serious personal injury. This product contains a laser system and is classified
as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
IMPORTANT!
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 RuggedCom Inc. could invalidate specifications,
test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT!
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be gained by
authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and any precautions that must be
taken. Access must only be possible through the use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security,
and controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
NOTE
This product contains a Lithium battery that is not replaceable by the operator or by service personnel.

Section2.1
General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements. For more information, refer to
Section6.1, “Approvals”.
2. Mount the device.
3. Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
4. Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
5. Connect the device to the network.
6. Configure the device.
Section2.2
Required Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required to install the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF:
Tools/Materials Purpose
DC power cord (16 AWG) For connecting power to the device.
CAT-5 Ethernet cables For connecting the device to the network.
#2 Phillips Flathead screwdriver For mounting the device to a DIN rail.
Phillips screwdriver For mounting the device to a panel.
4 x M3.5 (#6-32) screws For mounting the device to a panel.
Section2.3
Cabling Recommendations
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation
applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect
against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This
means that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
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.

Installing the Device
Mounting the Device 7
Section2.4
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with
connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it is recommended
that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Chapter5, Dimension Drawings.

Section2.4.1
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GPF can be equipped with a DIN rail bracket that allows the
device to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1. Secure the DIN rail bracket to the back of the device chassis.
