Installing the Device in Hazardous Locations The RUGGEDCOM RS900F is designed to comply with the safety standards for Class I, Division 2, Zone 2 hazardous locations where concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids may be present, as opposed to normal operating environments.
Section 2.4 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS900F is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be installed on a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or affixed to a panel.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RS900F Installing the Device Installation Guide 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.
Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900F can be equipped with panel adapters pre-installed on the top and bottom of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS-F. One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS-F User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900F. To connect the failsafe alarm relay, do the following: Insert the failsafe alarm relay terminal block into the device and tighten the screws.
1. Normally Closed 2. Common 3. Normally Open Section 2.6 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900F supports power input from a single high AC/DC or low DC power supply. IMPORTANT! • For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
