The INVALCO CM7 Pilot Guard gives positive shutoff of gas to both the pilot and the main burner if the pilot flame goes out. A field-adjustable sensitivity control (screwdriver set) lets the operator tune response so gas shuts off in 20 seconds or less, regardless of the pilot flame's heat characteristics. It needs no external power, so it keeps working through power outages and at sites with no electricity. It is designed for use with the RHSB pilot burner.
