Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RST916P features two input terminals that allow the device to be
powered by two independent DC power sources. Each power source must provide 54
VDC nominal output voltage.
Note
The RUGGEDCOM RST916P is a dual input power supply system. Due to this
structure, induced voltages will be observed between the positive and chassis/ground
terminals, and between the negative and chassis/ground terminals.
Electrical hazard – risk of power disruption
Due to power supply safety features, some DC voltage will be coupled to the
redundant power terminals (between the positive and chassis/ground terminals, and
between the negative and chassis/ground terminals). While the maximum amount
of current transfer is below the safety threshold, it may be enough to trip some
external Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) breakers. Before connecting power,
review the installation and make sure this condition can be supported.
