Installation Guide
General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
1.Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements. For more information, refer to
Section6.1, “Approvals”.
2.Mount the device.
3.Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
4.Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
5.Connect the device to the network.
6.Configure the device.
Section2.2
Unpacking the Device
When unpacking the device, do the following:
1.Inspect the package for damage before opening it.
2.Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage.
3.Verify all items are included.
IMPORTANT!
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
Section2.3
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.

Section2.4
Installing the Device
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with
connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it is recommended
that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Section5.8, “Dimension Drawings”.

Section2.4.1
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP can be equipped with a DIN rail bracket that allows the device
to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1.Secure the DIN rail bracket to the back of the device chassis.

Section2.6
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 RS900GP.
The following shows the proper relay connections.

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
RJ45 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.
