2.2 Ingress Protection IP67
IEC International Standard 60529 (Edition 2.1: 2001-02) is a "classification of degrees of protection
provided by enclosures as a system for specifying the enclosures of electrical equipment on the
basis of the degree of protection provided by the enclosure." These ratings are determined by
specific tests
The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against solid
objects and the second against liquids. The higher the IP number, the better the protection. The
chart below defines levels of IP ratings.

The RuggedCom M969 Industrial Ethernet Switch is manufactured and tested to IP67 standards.
With an IP67 rating a product will be "dust tight" and remain completely sealed when immersed in
water to a depth of 1 meter for 1 hour. (IEC 60529)
These caps completely seals off unused ports on the IP67 Industrial
Ethernet Switch. It has an IP67 rated seal that keeps out all
contaminants like dirt, oil, and water.

The RS969 family has 2 different power supply input connectors---Mini A-coded male connector or
M23 A-code male connector shown in Figure 2.2.1.1. The Mini power connector only has 4
terminals, so only one power supply source is allowed to connect to the RS969 with Mini power
connector; The M23 power connector has 5 terminal pins which means 2 power supply sources are
allowed to power the RS969 with M23 power connector.
The RS969 family supports dual redundant power supplies – “Power Supply 1 (PS1)” and “Power
Supply 2 (PS2)”. The connections for PS1, PS2 are shown in Table1 and 2.
Refer to
Table 1 and 2 for a description of each terminal and sections 2.3.2 through 2.3.4 for wiring
examples.

2. Surge Ground must be disconnected from the Chassis Ground during HIPOT (dielectric
strength) testing.
3. 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. All line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be
disabled.

2.4 Dielectric Strength Testing
For dielectric strength testing in the field, users must remove the metal jumper located on terminal
2, 4, and 6 of the power supply terminal block. This metal jumper connects transient suppression
circuitry to chassis ground, and must be removed in order to avoid damage to protection circuits.
Figure 4 shows the proper dielectric strength test connections and should be followed to avoid
damage to the device.

2.5 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring and Specifications
The “Failsafe” output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur on the M969
series switches. The contacts are energized upon power up of the unit and remain energized until
a critical error occurs. The proper relay connections are shown in Figure 5 below. One common
application for this output is to signal an alarm if a power failure or removal of control power occurs.

A RS232 console port for configuration and management of the device is shown in
Figure 6. This port is intended to be a temporary connection during initial configuration or
troubleshooting and allows for direct access to the serial-based management console. The
connection is made using the DB9-Female to 8-Position-Male-M12 console cable shown in Figure
7. Console connection settings are: 57600 baud, no parity bits, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

After initial configuration, the RuggedSwitch device can be configured via a number of new
mechanisms such as Telnet, and the built-in web server. Consult the RuggedSwitch ROS User
Guide for further details.
NOTE: This port is not intended to be a permanent connection and the cable shall be less than 2m
(6.5 ft) in length.

2.7 Fast Ethernet Ports – Signal Description
The RS969 series switches have several 10/100BaseTX ports that allow connection to standard
CAT-5 UTP cable with industrial RJ45 male connectors or industrial D-coded M12 male
connectors. The RJ45/M12 receptacles are directly connected to the chassis ground on the M969
and can accept shielded CAT-5 cables. If shielded cables are used, care must be taken to ensure
the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45/M12 receptacles at
either end. Figure 2.6.1 shows the pin configuration.
NOTE: RuggedCom does not recommend the use of CAT-5 cabling of any length for critical realtime substation automation applications. However, transient suppression circuitry is present on all
copper ports to protect against damage from electrical transients and to ensure IEC 61850-3 and
IEEE 1613 Class 1 conformance. This means that during the transient event communications
errors or interruptions may occur but recovery is automatic.
RuggedCom also does not recommended to use these ports to interface to field devices across
distances which could produce high levels of ground potential rise, (i.e. greater than 2500V) during
line to ground fault conditions.
