Strato Pi CM and Strato Pi CM Duo UL Listing – Sfera Labs is pleased to announce that its Strato Pi CM and Strato Pi CM Duo industrial Raspberry Pi–based servers have been UL Listed for the United States and Canada as Process Control Equipment, under UL 61010-1 (3rd Edition) and CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1 (Edition 3). The certification, issued under UL file E526642, opens these platforms to deployment in regulated applications across North America where compliance with recognized safety standards is required.
A Milestone for Regulated Deployments
UL Listing is a widely recognized mark of compliance with North American electrical safety standards. With this certification, Strato Pi CM and Strato Pi CM Duo can be more readily specified and deployed in:
- Industrial automation and process control systems
- Building and energy management infrastructure
- Data acquisition and edge computing installations
- OEM solutions requiring a certified embedded platform
For system integrators and OEMs, incorporating a UL Listed subassembly materially reduces the testing burden when certifying a finished product for North American markets, helping shorten time-to-market and contain compliance costs.
Designed for Continuous, Unattended Operation
Built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module, Strato Pi CM and Strato Pi CM Duo combine the flexibility of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem with industrial-grade hardware features engineered for 24/7 unattended operation.
Key capabilities include:
- Hardware watchdog: autonomous recovery mechanisms for fault resilience.
- Wide-range power input: protection circuits engineered for industrial environments.
- Real-time clock: battery-backed timekeeping for scheduled operations and accurate logging.
- Serial interface: RS-485 port for field connectivity.
- Remote update support: firmware and system updates designed for long-lifecycle deployments.
- Dual microSD architecture (CM Duo): redundant storage and safe in-field system upgrades with rollback capability – critical for remote or mission-critical installations.
From Prototype to Certified Production
“UL Listing of Strato Pi CM and CM Duo is a tangible step in our mission to bridge the gap between Raspberry Pi prototyping and industrial deployment,” says Ulderico Arcidiaco, CEO of Sfera Labs. “Our customers can now move from proof-of-concept to certified production systems for the North American market without redesigning around a different hardware platform.”
Combined with CE marking (under the EMC Directive) and FCC compliance, UL Listing extends the compliance profile of Strato Pi CM and CM Duo to cover North American electrical safety requirements for process control equipment.
