The RUGGEDCOM RS8000T supports a single integrated high AC/DC or low DC power supply
IMPORTANT!
• For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed.
• Use minimum #16 gage wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated equipment.
• Power input terminals have reverse polarity protection for 12, 24 and 48 VDC rated equipment.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.

Section2.4.1
Connecting AC Power
To connect a high AC power supply to the device, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
This cable connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in order to
avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
1. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/hot (+/H) terminal on the terminal block.
