1 Product Overview

1.1 Functional Overview

The RuggedWireless™ RS910W is an industrially hardened Wireless Serial/Ethernet Device Server that has been specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments. The RS910W features a wireless LAN (WLAN) interface combined with 2 serial ports and/or 2 Fast Ethernet ports. The RS910W allows you to connect any RS-232/ 422/485/fiber serial devices at up to 230 kbps and/or connect Ethernet devices for wireless access and control via an IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN.

1.2 Feature Highlights

• Serial Device Server:

o 2 fully compliant EIA/TIA RS485/RS422/RS232/fiber serial ports (software

selectable)

o DB9, RJ45 or ST fiber connectors o Baud rates up to 230 kbps o Built-in optional RS485 Termination

• Ethernet Ports:

o 2 – Fast Ethernet ports (10/100BaseTX or 100 BaseFX) o Multiple fiber connector types

2.2 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding

2.2.1 AC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding

Figure 4 - RS910W Power Supply Inputs

The RS910W AC power supply inputs should be connected as follows:

1. +/L should be connected to AC Line/Hot.

2. -/N should be connected to AC Neutral.

3. Surge Ground should be 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 unit.

4. Chassis Ground must be connected to the AC ground terminal.

NOTES:

1. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.

2. All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases

where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid between Surge and Chassis Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled.

2.2.2 DC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding

Figure 5 - DC Power supply wiring and grounding diagram

The RS910W low voltage DC power supply features reverse polarity protection and dual independent inputs. The latter feature allows the connection of two DC sources with the same nominal voltage to provide redundant power supply inputs.

The RS910W DC power supply inputs should be connected as follows:

1. Connect to the DC inputs according to the polarity markings on the unit.

2. Surge Ground should be 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 unit.

3. Chassis Ground must be connected to the protective earth.

NOTES:

1. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.

2. All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases

where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid between Surge and Chassis Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled.
