Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RS900G features a single, integrated high AC/DC or low DC power supply, which accept
dual power supply inputs for redundancy.
NOTE
Power sources can be connected to either power supply terminal block on the device.
IMPORTANT!
• For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.
The following sections describe how to connect power to the device:
• Section 2.2.1, “Connecting High AC/DC Power”
• Section 2.2.2, “Connecting Low DC Power”
RUGGEDCOM RS900G
Section 2.2.1
Connecting High AC/DC Power
To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC
power. Damage to the power supply may occur.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
This cable connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed to avoid
damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
1.Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/live (+/L) terminal on the terminal block.
2.Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative/neutral (-/N) terminal on the terminal block.
3.Using a braided wire or other appropriate grounding wire, connect the surge ground terminal to the chassis
ground connection. The surge ground terminal is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient
suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
4.Connect the ground terminal on the power source to the chassis ground terminal on the device.
Section 2.2.2
Connecting Low DC Power
The RUGGEDCOM RS900G features a single low DC power supply, which accepts input one or more DC power
sources. The use of both power supply inputs is recommended to provide redundancy.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
To connect a low DC power supply, do the following:
1.Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive terminal on either terminal block.
This cable connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed to avoid
damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.

4.Connect the ground terminal on the power source to the chassis ground terminal on the device.
Section 2.3
Installing the Device
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay
The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is
closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm
is configured, the relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
NOTE
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay
is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS
User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900G.
Chapter 2
The following shows the proper relay connections.

Section 2.5
Cabling Recommendations
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation
applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry
to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1
standards. This means that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur,
but recovery is automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS900G features eight 10/100Base-TX or 100/1000Base-TX copper RJ-45 Ethernet ports in
ports 1 to 8.
Each copper port is directly connected to chassis ground and accepts a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) Unshielded
Twisted-Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cable.
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ-45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.

SFP optical ports can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating.
• Section 3.4.1, “Installing an SFP Optical Port”
• Section 3.4.2, “Removing an SFP Optical Port”
Section 3.4.1
Installing an SFP Optical Port
To install an SFP optical port, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Use only components certified by Siemens with
RUGGEDCOM products. Damage to the module and device may occur if compatibility and reliability
have not been properly assessed.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated
before installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause
serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1.Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an ESD wrist strap or by touching Earth or the
chassis ground.
2.Remove the dust cover from the port opening in the module.

• Maximum segment length is greatly dependent on factors such as fiber quality, and the number
of patches and splices. Consult a Siemens Sales associate when determining maximum segment
distances.
• All optical power numbers are listed as dBm averages. To convert from average to peak add 3 dBm.
To convert from peak to average, subtract 3 dBm.
• All cabling is duplex type unless otherwise specified.
