Abstract
A system for checking high fluid pressure and low fluid pressure limit switches for valves and fluid supply to a fluid consumption appliance. The system may incorporate one or more pressure sensors at a fluid valve to detect an amount of fluid pressure. The one or more pressure sensors may be connected to a processor. The high fluid pressure and low fluid pressure sensor limit switches may also be connector to the processor. A display and user control may be connected to the processor.
Claims5
A system for setting up a valve comprising:
- a display screen having a control interface;
- a gas valve having an actuator configured to open and close the gas valve;
- a pressure sensor at the gas valve;
- a processor connected to the actuator, pressure sensor and the display screen;
- and
- wherein:
- the display screen comprises:
- an indication of current operating pressure;
- a first icon representing a first limit switch;
- a second icon representing a second limit switch;
- and
- a graph, including a first bar indicating a low limit of pressure that corresponds to the first icon and a second bar indicating a high limit of pressure that corresponds to the second icon, the graph revealing an indication of operating pressure over time, wherein the first bar moves in accordance with input on the first icon and the second bar moves in accordance with input on the second icon and adjusting the first bar and the second bar on the graph visually indicates how close the actual operating pressure is from the high and low limits of pressure;
- and
- wherein:
- the first icon is moveable along a bar for testing the low pressure limit of the first limit switch, wherein moving the first icon to different values along the bar controls the first bar to move to corresponding values on the graph;
- and
- the second icon is moveable along the bar for testing the high pressure limit of the second limit switch, wherein moving the second icon to different values along the bar controls the second bar to move to corresponding values on the graph.
