The Acme Fireplace Company has hired you to redesign the fireplace control circuit for their latest
residential gas fireplace. The fireplace burner is _equ_
ipped_with four thermal sensors that output c1
logic (1) whenever a flame is present. These sensors are.connected to the fireplace control circuit
w_hich outputs a (1) to the emergency cut-off valve to.keep the.gas flowing (i ie., a ~ero will turn the ..
. gas off). .

gas pressure and humidity cause the thermal sensors to occasionally output a logic (O) even when a
flame is present. This caused frequent unnecessary shut downs and constant customer
dissatisfaction.

Circuit

For the redesign, is has been determined that the emergency cut-off valve should remain open as
iong as three of the four sensors indicate that a flame is present.

Additionally, the designers have asked you to add a second output indicator to the control circuit.
This indicator will output a logic (1) when the four sensors do not all agree (i.e., not all on, or not all
off). This indicator will be used by the service technician to diagnose wheth~~ c1 faylty sensor ~xist$.
