Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RX1512 RUGGEDCOM Modules Installation Guide The TC1, TC2 and TC4 WAN modules meet the Industry Canada's CS-03 Part II, Issue 9 technical specifications. The industry Canada registration number and model number is provided on a label on top of the modules.
Section 2.4 Power Supply The RX1512 power supply is integrated with the Control Module. The power supply and fail-safe relay connections are made on a pluggable terminal block located on the front panel of the Control Module. The RX1512 power supply input is 11VDC to 72VDC, and consumes a maximum of 25W.
Section 3.1 Mounting The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 features optional mounting brackets for panel and DIN rail mounting. The optional brackets attach to both sides of the appliance at the rear of the chassis. For panel mounting, the mounting bracket provides four mounting holes. For DIN rail mounting, the DIN adaptor mounts to a standard 1" DIN rail and is secured with a lock screw on each adaptor.
