1 Product Overview 1.1 Functional Overview The RuggedWireless RS900W family of products are industrially hardened, fully managed, IEEE 802.11g Access Points with integrated Ethernet switching, specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding industrial environments.

2.2 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding 2.2.1 AC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding Figure 4 - Power Supply Inputs The AC power supply inputs should be connected as follows: 1. +/L should be connected to AC Line/Hot. 2. -/N should be connected to AC Neutral. 3. Surge Ground should be connected to the Chassis Ground via a braided cable or other appropriate grounding wire. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit. 4.
2.2.2 DC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding Figure 5 - DC Power supply wiring and grounding diagram The low voltage DC power supply features reverse polarity protection and dual independent inputs. The latter feature allows the connection of two DC sources with the same nominal voltage to provide redundant power supply inputs. The DC power supply inputs should be connected as follows: 1. Connect to the DC inputs according to the polarity markings on the unit. 2.
2.3 Dielectric Strength (HIPOT) Testing Units which are to have dielectric strength testing (HIPOT testing) done in the field must have the braided ground cable disconnected during the test. This is required in order to prevent the surge suppression circuitry, which is connected to surge ground, from being activated. Figure 6 - Dielectric Strength Testing 10 2008 RuggedCom Inc.
2.4 Failsafe Output Wiring and Specifications The Failsafe output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur on the unit. The contacts are energized upon power up of the unit and remain energized until an alarm condition or power loss occurs. Figure 7 - Failsafe Output Relay 11 2008 RuggedCom Inc.
2.5 RS232 Port Wiring The RS232 port is used for configuring the unit. A straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 connector is required. There is no need to crossover the Transmit and Receive signals from the PC side since this has been done internally as is shown below.
2.6 RJ45 Ports – Signal Description Units with 10/100Base-TX ports allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 receptacles are directly connected to the chassis ground on the unit and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables. If shielded cables are used, care must be taken to ensure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end.

5 Appendix A - RuggedWireless ™ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What factors can affect wireless coverage/range? Range estimates are typical and require line of sight. Basically that means you will need a clear unobstructed view of the antenna from the remote point in the link. Keep in mind that walls and obstacles will limit your operating range and could even prevent you from establishing a link. Signals in the 2.4 Ghz generally will not penetrate metal or concrete walls.
