The Merlin 1500S ventilation interlock system is designed for kitchens where all appliances have built in flame failure devices and there is no need for gas pressure proving. The Merlin 1500S acts as an interlock between the ventilation system and the gas solenoid valve. It ensures the gas solenoid cannot be opened unless the ventilation system is proven to be working and working at such a speed that is effective to exhaust the fumes from the appliances.
