  • Publication number: 20170276352
    Abstract: A first reset switch is attached to a combustion controlling device. A second reset switch is installed at a remote place distant from the combustion controlling device. A first reset input from the first reset switch is received without any restriction to release the lockout. A reset input from the second reset switch is received with any restriction to release the lockout. Specifically, when the lockout releases are performed for a predetermined number of times or more upon receiving the reset input before a predetermined time elapses after the lockout has been released upon receiving the initial reset input, the release of the lockout upon receiving the reset input is prohibited until the predetermined time elapses.

  • Publication number: 20170219209
    Abstract: A combustion control system that collects and accumulates, at predetermined intervals, combustion controlling information including at least a signal indicating an operating state of an ignition device, a signal indicating the supplying state of fuel to a pilot burner, a signal indicating the supplying state of fuel to a main burner, a signal indicating the supplying state of air to the main burner, a flame detection signal indicating the strengths of the flames of the burners (the pilot burner and the main burner), and information indicating presence or absence of the flames determined based on the value of the flame detection signal, and displays the combustion controlling information as trend data of combustion control in a graph in such a form that the relationship between time zones of the combustion sequences from the start of a combustion device to normal combustion and the trend data is understandable.

  • Patent number: 9170551
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a functional unit, an electric circuit board, a pivotable support member, an outer cover, and wiring. The functional unit is disposed inside the electronic apparatus. The electric circuit board is configured to control the functional unit. The pivotable support member is shaped rectangular having a vertical length that is shorter than a horizontal length thereof and is pivotally movable about a pivoting axis defined to extend along one horizontally extending side of the pivotable support member between a closed position in which the pivotable support member covers the functional unit and an open position in which the functional unit is exposed. The outer cover is disposed more outwardly than the pivotable support member. The wiring passes through a pivoting axis side of the pivotable support member to connect the functional unit to the electric circuit board.
