Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his expense.
Caution
This product contains a laser system and is classified as a “CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”.
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” section of this installation guide.
Important
This unit should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be gained by

The RuggedServer™ RS416 is an industrially hardened serial device server with an integrated,
fully managed, Ethernet switch, designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically
demanding environments. Featuring a modular design that can support up to 16 serial ports and up
to 4 Ethernet ports, the RS416 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices
(IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using the RS416 results in fewer
connectivity devices (which reduces overall system costs) and also extends the useful life of
existing legacy IEDs (which minimizes capital expenditure for new equipment).
The RS416 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, factory floors or in curb side
traffic control cabinets. The RS416 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including
IEC 61850, IEEE 1613, IEC 61000-6-2, IEC 61800-3, and NEMA TS-2. The RS416 also features a
wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allowing it to be installed in virtually any
location.
The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) within the RS416 provides advanced layer 2
and layer 3 networking functions, advanced cyber security features, and a full array of intelligent
functionality for high network availability and manageability. Coupled with the ruggedized hardware
design, the RS416 is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh
environment. The RS416 is also backed by RuggedCom's all inclusive five year warranty and
unsurpassed technical support.

3.3 Display Panel Description
The RS416 is equipped with a versatile display panel, shown in Figure 1, which is designed to
provide quick status information for each port, as well as the entire device to allow for simple
diagnostics and troubleshooting. It features:
• RS232 console port for ‘out of band’ console access and configuration
• Power supply and Alarm status indicators
• Convenient port status indicators conveying Link-Activity, Duplex, or Speed via push-
button control.
• System reset via push-button if held for 5 seconds

4 Installation
4.1 Mounting
The RS416 has been designed with maximum mounting and display flexibility. Customers can
order an RS416 that can be mounted in a standard 19” rack, 1” DIN Rail, or directly onto a panel.
For rack mount installations, the RS416 can be ordered with connectors on the front of the unit, or
located on the rear of the chassis to allow for all data and power cabling to be installed and
connected at the rear of the rack. See Figure 2 for rack mount orientation examples.
Figure 2: RS416 Series Rack mount chassis orientation options – Front and rear mount.

4.1.1 Rack Mounting
The RS416 can be rack mounted using the included rack mount adapter assemblies shown in
Figure 3. Secure the one rack mount adapter to the front of each side of the chassis using the
included black PAN head Philips screws in the positions shown in Figure 4. The entire chassis can
then be mounted to a standard 19” rack. An additional two rack mount adapters are included to
optionally secure the rear of the chassis in high-vibration, or seismically active locations.
Figure 3: 19” Rack Mount Adapters
Figure 4: Rack mount adapter mounting location
NOTE: Since heat within the RS416 is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack
unit of space (1.75”) be kept unpopulated and free of equipment above each RS416 product to
allow for a small amount of convectional airflow. Although forced airflow is not necessary, any
increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature that will improve long-term
reliability of all equipment mounted within the rack space.
