This CSA approval is recognized in both the US and Canada for the following areas:

The hazardous location User Interface Terminal (NGC-UIT-OUT) is rated NEMA 4X and designed to withstand extremes of moist, hot and cold environments. With an operating temperature rating from -40°C to +65°C (-40°F to 149°F) the hazardous location UIT provides information and accessibility to the DigiTrace NGC-30 control and monitoring system over a wide range of conditions.
"The touch screen user interface terminals used in the DigiTrace NGC-30 systems today provide a much more intuitive, easy to use interface to Tyco Thermal Controls' control and monitoring systems", says Matt Chamberlain, Tyco Thermal Controls' Industrial Products Marketing Director. "Now that the NGC-UIT-OUT is approved for use in hazardous locations, operations and maintenance personnel can obtain operating status information and troubleshoot problems without having to open the panel door.
