Installation Manual, 11/2022, C79000-G8976-1026-09 5

Installing the Device
2.1General Procedure
Note
his product contains a Lithium battery that is not replaceable by the operator or by
service personnel.
2.1 General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
NOTICE
The user is responsible for the operating environment of the device, including
maintaining the integrity of all protective conductor connections and checking
equipment ratings. Make sure to review all operating and installation instructions
before commissioning or performing maintenance on the device.
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements.
For more information, refer to "Approvals" (Page 31).
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.
2.2 Unpacking the Device
When unpacking the device, do the following:
1. Inspect the package for damage before opening it.
2. Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage.
3. Verify all items are included.
Note
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
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

Installation Manual, 11/2022, C79000-G8976-1026-09

Installing the Device
2.4Mounting the Device
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.
2.4 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP is designed for maximum mounting and display
flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be attached to a DIN rail
or panel.
NOTICE
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 "Dimension Drawings" (Page 26).
2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP can be ordered with a DIN rail
adapterthat can be affixed to the back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the
device to a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
Mounting the Device
To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1. Secure the DIN rail bracket to the back of the device chassis.

2.6 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. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm is configured, the relay
opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
Note
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through RUGGEDCOM RS900GP.
One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs.
For more information, refer to the "RUGGEDCOM RS900GP User Guide" for the
RUGGEDCOM RS900GP.
The following shows the proper relay connections.
