Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RS416PF supports a single high AC or low DC power supply, and a
separate 48 VDC power supply for PoE ports.
The RUGGEDCOM RS416PF can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable
terminal block, which provides power to the AC/DC power module and PoE ports. The
screw-type terminal block is installed using Phillips screws and compression plates,
allowing either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs
for secure, reliable connections under severe shock or vibration.
Note
• For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker
must be installed.
• For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must
be installed.
• Use minimum #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated power supplies.
• It is recommended to provide a separate circuit breaker for each power supply
module.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and
standards.
2.6.1
Connecting AC or DC Power
To connect a single high AC, high DC or low DC power supply to the device, do the
following:
NOTICE
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the metal jumper.
This metal jumper connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and
must be removed in order to avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during
testing.
NOTICE
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.
