Abstract
A control system is provided having a flow valve, a control valve for controlling flow through the flow valve, a logic circuit for receiving, processing, and transmitting data signals; a central control unit for receiving, processing, and transmitting data signals; and a flow valve actuator. When the flow valve actuator is actuated, the central control unit informs the logic circuit to permit the control valve to allow flow through the flow valve. However, if during a set time period, the flow valve actuator is actuated too often, subsequent actuation is disallowed for a second time period. Also, if during a shut down, subsequent actuation is disallowed. During the second time period or the shut down, any successive actuation is recorded by the central control unit.
