Abstract
A burner control system in which signals indicating the condition at various locations within the system are applied to a control circuit in the form of pulse trains, causing a continuous alternation of state of solid state switching elements therein. The system actuates a switch to open a fuel valve only when the level of the control circuit output signal is alternating, indicating that the said switching elements are operative. A comparison circuit compares the control circuit output signal with a signal denoting the condition of the fuel valve, to ensure proper operation of the fuel valve switch.
