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.
Introduction 1.5.2 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations 1.5.2 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category 5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation.

IMPORTANT A site survey is recommended prior to any installation to help determine the best location for the GPS antenna. For assistance, contact a Siemens Sales representative. IMPORTANT Although it is impossible to protect the antenna from a direct lightning strike, the antenna and connected components can be protected from secondary effects through site selection and by installing protection devices.

Installing the Device 2.5 Connecting a GPS Antenna line to protect the receiver and connected devices. If a lightning arrestor is installed, it is important to make sure it has a low impedance path to ground. To promote signal reception and avoid signal saturation at the receiver input, the overall GPS system requires a relative gain between 5 and 18 dBi.
Installing the Device 2.6 Connecting Power [Optional] Connect a lightning arrestor, line amplifier or bandpass filter to the antenna. RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 Shielded Coaxial Cable Lightning Protector, Line Amplifier or Bandpass Filter GPS Antenna Figure 2.5 Antenna and Lightning Protector Assembly (Optional) Using shielded coaxial cables, connect the antenna assembly to the GPS IN port on the device.
Installing the Device 2.6.1 Connecting AC or DC Power • For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed. • 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.
