DEFINITION

Classification: 431/69

(under subclass 18) Apparatus including a "shutdown" device for a burner actuated at the expiration of a period established by a timer or retarder means; the start of the means being correlated with the movement of a demand controller to "start" position; and a flame responsive control effective to prevent "shutdown" by the device if flame is sensed within the period.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

15, for means indicating a shutdown or aborted start attempt.

27, for a control providing repeated start attempts prior to shutdown upon failure to establish combustion.
