Abstract: A combination utility controller and service panel having an outer overall enclosure with a lockable door for limiting access thereto to authorized persons. Within the overall enclosure are two sub-regions that are separated from each other by gas-tight paneling. One of these sub-regions (i.e., a service region) contains at least one electrically-operated (e.g., solenoid-operated) valve that is serially connected within service utilities (e.g., water or gas) piping so as to control flow therethrough. The other sub-region (i.e., a utility controller region) contains electrical controls for controlling the valve(s) and communicating with other services such as an auxiliary monitoring system (e.g., a fire alarm system).

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. 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). 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.
