Abstract
An apparatus for utility control is provided. The apparatus for utility control may include a protective enclosure and a front cover. A start actuator and a stop actuator are mounted on the front cover. Pushing the start actuator starts two timers for an ignitor circuit and a valve. The timers may be configurable and controlled by one or more dual in-line package (DIP) switches. Pushing the stop actuator stops one or both of the ignitor circuit and the flow of fluid through the valve. The apparatus for utility control includes a power supply to convert high voltage alternating current (AC) to low voltage direct current (DC). One or more electrical components, including the power supply, are mounted to the front cover to allow for enhanced serviceability of the apparatus for utility control.
