Installing the Device
2.3Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations
2.3 Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations
The RUGGEDCOM RSG910C is designed to comply with the safety standards for Class
I, Division 2, Zone 2 hazardous locations where concentrations of flammable gases,
vapors or liquids may be present, as opposed to normal operating environments.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
Installation and use of the device in a hazardous location must meet the following
special conditions for safe use:
• The equipment shall be installed in an additional enclosure that is considered
to be not accessible in normal operation without the use of a tool and provides
a degree of protection of not less than IP54 according to IEC 60079-0 and IEC
60079-7. The installer shall make sure the maximum ambient temperature of the
equipment when installed is not exceeded.
• The equipment shall be used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2, as
defined by IEC 60664-1.
• Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140% of

Sample Hazardous Location Label
The following is an example of the RUGGEDCOM RSG910C hazardous location label:
Figure2.1 Compliance Label (Example)
2.4 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RSG910C 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.
Note
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 28)".
2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
The RUGGEDCOM RSG910C can be ordered with a DIN rail adapter preinstalled on the
back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the device to a standard 35 mm (1.4
in) by 15 mm (0.6 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
