Abstract: The invention relates to a method for checking a time-discrete signal value of a sensor for freedom from errors, wherein the signal value of the sensor is converted into a first measured value and a second measured value by two different evaluating devices of an electronic system, wherein the first and second measured values are transmitted to a control system by the electronic system, and the control system calculates a first control signal from the first measured value and, in parallel thereto, a second control signal from the second measured value, wherein the control system comprises a comparator which compares the first control signal and second control signal to verify the identity thereof.

Abstract: A gas burner controller adapter for use in adapting a gas burner control device, which is configured to be connected to a flame ionization electrode and a separate ignition electrode, to operate in a gas burner that only includes a single electrode serving as both the flame ionization electrode and the ignition electrode.

Abstract: To test the tightnesses of two valves arranged upstream respectively downstream of each other in a fluid line, the pressure conditions in the line portion between the two valves is measured with both valves being closed. Following a certain time after the closure of the two valves, the pressure in the line portion is measured to determine whether pressure is above or below a predetermined limit pressure to conclude whether the one or the other valve is tight. Following this determination, the passageway is opened across the valve taken to be tight and the line portion is then drained or filled. During a measuring time interval then following, a differential pressure sensing device measures whether and how often the pressure in the line portion reaches or passes the limit pressure.
