Section 2.1 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RMC30 Installing the Device Installation Guide 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.
Insert the device into the adapter. Make sure the device is secured between the two metal clips. Section 2.2 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 supports a single integrated high AC/DC or low DC power supply NOTE • For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled. IMPORTANT! Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the line may be subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the following specifications as a guide for VDSL external surge protection: •...

Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RMC30 Communication Ports Installation Guide WARNING! Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end.
IMPORTANT! The RS232 port is intended for point-to-point applications only. In adherence to the EIA/TIA guidelines for RS232 communications, the following is recommended by Siemens: • Always use shielded cabling to minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise • Although greater distances are possible, limit the cable length to 15 m (49 ft) or less for more reliable communications •...
NOTE The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 features built-in pull-up and pull-down resistors. As such, external bias resistors are only recommended when connecting the RUGGEDCOM RMC30 to third-party serial devices that do not have built-in pull-up and pull-down resistors.
