ABSTRACT:
A control unit for DPS sensors wherein reset is obtainable only by operation of a reset mechanism with reset taking place only after the reset mechanism has been returned at least in part to its original position to avoid the possibility of reset by holding down the reset mechanism. This is accomplished by providing a compressor which is powered through a contactor and a further serially connected switch. A parameter of the compressor is monitored with the parameter value being evaluated in a counter and control circuit, the latter operating in accordance with a predetermined function to determine when an alarm condition has been sensed. When the alarm condition is reached, a control circuit including a latching relay is closed to energize the relay and thereby latch open the contacts of the contactor to remove power from the system being controlled. For reset, a reset mechanism in the form of a permanent magnet is moved into position to demagnetize the core of the relay and permit the contactor contacts to return to their normally closed state. Also, prior to demagnetization of the core, movement of the reset mechanism toward the relay causes the further serially connected switch in the circuit of the system to be controlled to open and remain open until after closure of the contacts of the contactor. This avoids the possibility that the circuit to the system to be controlled be completed by mere holding down of the reset mechanism.
