RUGGEDCOM RS900F
Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS900F is a 9-port utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate
reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division
2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900F to be placed in
almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900F's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
