“CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”

Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. This product contains no user serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void.

Should this device require service see the “Warranty and Service” section of this installation guide.

Important:

The RuggedMCTM should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be gained by service personnel or users who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and access is through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

1 Product Overview

1.1 Functional Overview

The Rugged MediaConverterTM is an industrially hardened fiber optical media converter specifically designed to operate in harsh environments such as those found in electric utility substations and factory floors. The RMC40TM provides industrial strength Ethernet copper-to-fiber media conversion, providing copper-based 10BaseT or 100BaseTx clients 100BaseFX fiber optical connectivity.

Specifically tested to the same standards as mission critical protective relaying equipment (i.e. ANSI/IEEE C37.90 and IEC 60255), and the newly issued IEC 61850-3 “Communications Systems and Networks in Substations” standard, the RuggedMCTM is ideally suited for substation or industrial environments. The reliability of the Rugged MediaConverterTM family exceeds that of commercial media converters by having no rotating mechanical parts (i.e. no cooling fans), utilizing high-temperature solid state components and incorporating the necessary transient and surge suppression circuitry required for substation and harsh industrial environments.

2.2 Panel Mounting

With the use of an optional panel-mount adapter, the RuggeMCTM series of media converters can be panel mounted. The drawing shown in Figure 2.2.1 shows an example of an RMC unit panel mounted using the optional panel mount adapter.

The panel mount adapter can be secured to a panel with three screws. The RuggedMCTM product is easily mounted onto the panel mount adapter via the two metal clips on either side of the unit, and a single screw located on the bottom.

2.3 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding

Fig. 2.2.1 RuggedMCTM Power Supply Inputs

The RuggedMCTM power supply inputs are identical and are connected as follows:

1. +/L = DC (+) / AC (Hot) is connected to the positive (+) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Hot) terminal if the power source is AC.

2. -/N = DC (-) / AC (Neutral) is connected to the negative (-) terminal if the power source is DC or to the (Neutral) terminal if the power source is AC.

3. Surge Ground is connected to the Chassis Ground via a braided cable or other appropriate grounding wire. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient suppression circuitry internal to the RuggedMCTM.

Chassis Ground is connected to the Safety Ground terminal for AC inputs or the equipment ground bus for DC inputs.

Note: Surge Ground must be disconnected from Chassis Ground during HIPOT

(dielectric strength) testing.

Notes:

1. For 125/250VDC rated equipment: An appropriately rated 300VDC circuit breaker must be installed within 3 meters of unit.

2. For 110/230VAC rated equipment: An appropriately rated 250VAC circuit breaker must be installed within 3 meters of the unit

3. A circuit breaker is not required for 48 or 24VDC rated equipment.

4. For multiple supplies, separate circuit breakers must be installed. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.

2.4 RJ45 Ports – Signal Description

The RJ45 port accepts standard category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), or screened twisted pair (STP) cable with RJ45 male connectors. Fig. 2.3.1 shows the RJ45 port pin configuration. Both RJ45 Ethernet ports on the RMC40TM are auto-crossover, auto-polarity, auto-crossover (MDI / MDIX) equipped, for simple plug-and-play operation.

Although transient suppression circuitry is present on all RJ45 ports, they cannot protect the port from high-amplitude, high-energy transients that can potentially damage the RMC40TM and its link partners. In general, RuggedCom strongly recommends limiting connections used by the RJ45 ports to those that are less than 3m in length, or limited to environments sufficiently protected from such transients.

NOTE:

For substation applications it is not recommended to use these ports to interface to

field devices across distances which could produce high levels of ground potential rise (GPR), (i.e. greater than 2500V) during line-to-ground fault conditions.
