Installation Guide
Installing the Device
This chapter describes how to install the device, including mounting the device, connecting power, and
connecting the device to the network.
DANGER!
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing
any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has been disconnected and wait
approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
WARNING!
Radiation hazard – risk of serious personal injury. 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.
Installing the Device
Chapter 2
WARNING!
Radiation hazard – risk of Radio Frequency (RF) exposure. This device is compliant with the
requirements set forth in FCC 47 CFR, section 1.1307, addressing Radio Frequency (RF) exposure from
radio frequency base stations, as defined in FCC OET Bulletin 65 [http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/
Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65.pdf]. The emitted radiation should be as
little as possible. To achieve minimum RF exposure, install the device when it is configured not to
transmit and set it to operational mode remotely, rather than having a technician enable transmission
on-site. For maintenance of the base station, or other operations which require RF exposure, the
exposure should be minimized in time and according to the regulations set forth by the country of
installation or the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
IMPORTANT!
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall
render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd could invalidate
specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
IMPORTANT!
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be gained by
authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and any precautions that must be
taken. Access must only be possible through the use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security,
and controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Section2.3
Installing the Device
Cabling Recommendations
Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all Ethernet ports.
CONTENTS
• Section2.3.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
• Section2.3.2, “Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations”
Section2.3.1
Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports
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.
Chapter 2
Section2.3.2
Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up
to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category 5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring
guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper
Gigabit Ethernet operation. For reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication
paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:
Cabling Category
< 5 No New wiring infrastructure required.
5 Yes Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5e Yes No action required. New installations should be designed with Category 5e or higher.
6 Yes No action required.
> 6 Yes Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10 ft) in length. Copper data cables should
not be used for inter-building communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and should be installed in separate
conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.

Installing the Device
Section2.4
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RX1501 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with
connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in) rack, 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards to 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 rack, DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Chapter5, Dimension Drawings .

• Section2.4.3, “Mounting the Device to a Panel”
Section2.4.1
Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1501 can be equipped with rack mount adapters pre-installed at
the front or rear of the chassis. Additional adapters are provided for added stability.
CAUTION!
Vibration hazard – risk of damage to the device. Always use four rack mount adapters (two at the front
of the device and two at the rear) when installing the device in high-vibration or seismically active
locations.
CAUTION!
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device. Before installing the device in a rack,
make sure of the following:
• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware that the operating ambient
temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the
rack is installed in a suitable environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature
generated by the rack.
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified by the rack
manufacturer.
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and power supply ratings
specified by the rack manufacturer.

Installation Guide
• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection. Pay particular
attention to power supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power
strips).
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
• To make the modules and ports accessible, install the rack mount adapters at the rear of the chassis
• To make the management ports and LEDs accessible, install the rack mount adapters at the front of the
chassis
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up
to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.

4. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
Section2.4.2
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RX1501 can be equipped with panel/DIN rail adapters pre-installed on
each side of the chassis. The adapters allow 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. Align the adapters with the DIN rails and slide the device into place.
