No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form without the prior written consent
of Altus Sistemas de Automação S.A. who reserves the right to carry out alterations without prior
advice.
According to current legislation in Brazil, the Consumer Defense Code, we are giving the following
information to clients who use our products, regarding personal safety and premises.
The industrial automation equipment, manufactured by Altus, is strong and reliable due to the
stringent quality control it is subjected to. However, any electronic industrial control equipment
(programmable controllers, numerical commands, etc.) can damage machines or processes controlled
by them when there are defective components and/or when a programming or installation error
occurs. This can even put human lives at risk.
The user should consider the possible consequences of the defects and should provide additional
external installations for safety reasons. This concern is higher when in initial commissioning and
testing.
The equipment manufactured by Altus does not directly expose the environment to hazards, since
they do not issue any kind of pollutant during their use. However, concerning the disposal of
equipment, it is important to point out that built-in electronics may contain materials which are
harmful to nature when improperly discarded. Therefore, it is recommended that whenever
discarding this type of product, it should be forwarded to recycling plants, which guarantee proper
waste management.
It is essential to read and understand the product documentation, such as manuals and technical
characteristics before its installation or use.
The examples and figures presented in this document are solely for illustrative purposes. Due to
possible upgrades and improvements that the products may present, Altus assumes no responsibility
for the use of these examples and figures in real applications. They should only be used to assist user
trainings and improve experience with the products and their features.
Altus warrants its equipment as described in General Conditions of Supply, attached to the
commercial proposals.
Altus guarantees that their equipment works in accordance with the clear instructions contained in
their manuals and/or technical characteristics, not guaranteeing the success of any particular type of
application of the equipment.
Altus does not acknowledge any other guarantee, directly or implied, mainly when end customers are
dealing with third-party suppliers.
The requests for additional information about the supply, equipment features and/or any other Altus
services must be made in writing form. Altus is not responsible for supplying information about its
equipment without formal request.
