Control board for controlling and monitoring usage of water
First Claim
1. An electronic control board for supplying control signals including an activation signal to a controlled device in response to a detection signal created by a sensor, comprising:
- an on delay timer that must time out before an activation signal is sent to the controlled device;
a run timer which permits activation of the controlled device during a run time interval; and
an off delay timer that must time out before a subsequent detection signal will be permitted to generate an activation signal.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling and monitoring the usage of water from plumbing fixtures includes an electronic control board for supplying control signals including an activation signal to a controlled device in response to a detection signal created by a sensor. The electronic control board comprises an on delay timer that must time out before an activation signal is sent to the controlled device, a run timer which permits activation of the controlled device during a run time interval, and an off delay timer that must time out before a subsequent detection signal will be permitted to generate an activation signal. A lockout timer prohibits generation of an activation signal if the number of activations exceeds a cycle limit. The control board further comprises means for shutting off the controlled device if the second detection signal occurs during the run time interval.
