ABSTRACT:
A utility controller and a service panel combination for limiting access to authorized persons. A sub-region of the service panel contains at least one electrically-operated (e.g., solenoid-operated) valve that is connected to service utilities (e.g., water or gas) piping so as to control flow there-through. According to one embodiment, another sub-region (i.e., a utility controller region) contains electrical controls for controlling the valve(s) and communicating with other services such as a remote transmitter, or an auxiliary monitoring system (e.g., a fire alarm system). In another embodiment, the service panel is remotely located with respect to the utility controller. The controller facilitates provision of numerous features including: emergency shutdown by anyone while permitting reset only by authorized personnel; modular construction so as to facilitate installation of the system. Various jumper terminals and connecting wires provide for programming of the system to accommodate a variety of applications.
