Continuing its path of constant evolution and seeking to increasingly qualify the offerings of its product mix, Altus has just achieved UL certification for the programmable controllers of the Nexto Xpress solution. After undergoing a series of tests, the equipment was approved and, since the beginning of February, they have been listed as items in compliance with the safety standards of Underwriters Laboratories. Certification is a mandatory requirement for exporting products to the United States and Canada, which allows Altus to explore new territories in the northern hemisphere and reinforces the concept of Nexto as a world-class product.
The Nexto Xpress solution equipment has been certified in the NRAQ category, governed by the safety standards UL61010-1, UL61010-1-12 and UL61010-2-201. While the UL61010-1 and UL61010-1-12 standards deal with the general safety requirements for measurement, control and laboratory equipment, the UL61010-2-201 standard deals with the specific safety requirements for control equipment. The certification was granted to all products in the line – PLCs XP300, XP315, XP325 and XP340 – which ensures the high level of the family's products, the quality of its production chain and guarantees safety in its use and handling, giving customers the certainty that the products in the series do not pose any risks to the user.
Obtaining UL certification confirms Altus's intentions to expand into new markets and regions, reinforcing the brand's global presence, while confirming its commitment to providing quality products and complete solutions.
Além da solução Xpress, os produtos modulares da Série Nexto também são listados pela Underwriters Laboratories.
