ASCO relay control panels were originally designed to New York City Board of Education specifications to operate ASCO DC solenoid valves controlling gas flow to school kitchens, domestic cooking classes, ceramic and metal shops.
Because of its many features and silent operation, the ASCO relay panel has also been used in many other similar institutions and schools outside New York City. Some city governments have also acknowledged the need to better control gas and fluid supply and have made it mandatory that the gas supply be secured during hours when schools are closed.
Other governmental bodies and consulting engineers have also recognized this need, and specify the ASCO relay panel even when not mandated by code.
ASCO relay panels may also be used in industrial and commercial installations where control of various gases and fluids are important.
108D10C operates on standard 120V 60Hz input, with an 80VDC output at 0.8A maximum, making it suitable for control of a wide range of DC solenoid valves. A separate Master Control Station is required for actuation of the 108D10C panel.
108D90C also operates on 120V 60Hz input, but with 120/60VAC output for control of AC valves more commonly used in heavier duty applications. Master controls are located directly on the front cover of the 108D90C. Optional output voltages of 24VDC, 24VAC, 208VAC, and 240VAC are also available to address a wide range of solenoid valve types. See the "Features" page for more details.

ASCO Control Stations permit remote access to control of gas flow.
Emergency Stop Station173A19 features a mushroom momentary push button which when actuated, cuts off gas flow in less than 0.1 seconds. Multiple stations may be located around the facility for safety and emergency purposes. Applicable to both 108D10C and 108D90C.
Master Control Station216C89 features a normally-closed pushbutton which cuts off gas flow when pressed. A key operated, normally-open switch restores gas flow. One Master Control Station is required for each 108D10C panel installation.
