Abstract: Method and apparatus for evaluating the quality of a flame in response to outputs from a flame sensor. The present invention includes a method and apparatus in which output pulses from a flame sensor are continuously counted.The number of pulses is accumulated over a time interval of a predetermined length and compared with a threshold value. The accumulated total is continuously updated to reflect the pulses received over the previous time interval to effectively provide a moving time-window of a fixed length over which pulses from the flame sensor are accumulated. Other additional checks may be made to ascertain that a flame is present, including the time over which no pulses are detected and a long-term average of the number of pulses. A preferred embodiment disclosed in which numerous self-checking features are incorporated, and which includes a novel bar-graph type of display for displaying flame quality and diagnostic information.

Abstract: An interface circuit for indicating the state of a set of switch contacts having high noise immunity and high reliability. The switch contacts to be monitored are connected in series with the primary winding of a transformer having a magnetic core with a highly rectangular hysteresis loop. A voltage is periodically applied through the switch to the transformer primary. A test pulse of current is then passed through a secondary winding on the transformer. The signal across the secondary winding produced in response to the test pulse current indicates the closed or opened condition of the contacts.
