General Supply Conditions
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.
These products can use EtherCAT® technology (www.ethercat.org).
