Service panel with microprocessor

A service panel for controlling at least one utility actuator for switching between an “ON” state and an “OFF” state to control the availability of a utility, comprising:

• an enclosure having an exterior region and an interior region;
• a cover for said enclosure to limit access to said interior region;
• at least one readily accessible utility control having an “ON” position and an “OFF” position for providing ON and OFF request signals;
• a limited access control in said exterior region for providing a temporary activate signal;
• a PCB (printed circuit board) located within said limited access interior region of said enclosure, comprising;
• a controller and data storage means programmed with default code and data, said default code and data responsive to reprogramming signals;
• control circuitry mounted for providing an “ON” control signal to said at least one utility actuator to switch said at least one utility actuator to said “ON” state, said “ON” control signal being provided only when both said “ON” request signal and said temporary activate signals are present, said control circuitry further comprising connections for connecting with selected add on modules;
• circuitry to receive said reprogramming signals;
• and
• a readily accessible emergency shut-off control for providing a shut-down signal to said control circuitry, and said control circuitry for providing an “OFF” control signal to said at least one utility actuator to switch said at least one utility actuator to an OFF state, said shut down signal continually disabling said utility actuator until said utility control system receives a reset signal.
