RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 1 Installation Guide Introduction State Description Solid Link detected Blinking Link activity No link detected Line Modules The device features slots for up to eight line modules. For more information, refer to Chapter 3, Modules. Failsafe Alarm Relay Latches to default state when a power disruption or other alarm condition occurs.
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.
Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements. For more information, refer to Section 6.1, “Approvals”. Review the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Modules Catalog for special installation or regulatory requirements related to the modules installed in the device. In the case of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) line modules, this includes antenna installation and regulatory requirements.
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 RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 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.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device Section 2.4.2 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For DIN rail installations, the RSG2488 can be ordered 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.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installing the Device Installation Guide Figure 4: Panel Mounting 1. Screw 2. Panel/DIN Rail Adapter Install the supplied screws to secure the adapters to the panel. Section 2.5 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.
Section 2.7 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 supports dual redundant AC and/or DC power supplies that can be installed in any combination. The use of two power modules is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable terminal block, which provides power to both power supplies.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Installing the Device Installation Guide DANGER! Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury or death. The device may have two power supplies equipped, which may be connected to separate power sources. Make sure all power sources are off before servicing the power supply terminals.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to a DC power supply terminal block. Damage to the power supply may occur. NOTE The screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates, allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs.
