LABEL FASCIA CONTROL

Controls of all kinds are integral parts of restaurant equipment operation. A control is a switch or other device by which a machine is regulated. A control may be manual or automatically operated. An electro-mechanical control typically consists of multiple relays, timers, and/or counters wired together on an enclosure panel. Electro-mechanical control is also referred to simply as "Relay Control", which is a more accurate term since solid state electronic relays, timers, and counters are standard components. Contactors, motor and compressor starters, valves, thermostats, and other output devices are used to turn on/off motors, indicator lights, heating elements, and other components used in the equipment.

In the manufacture of restaurant equipment, a fascia is referred to as a covering or panel. A fascia may be decorative and purposeful at the same time such as in a louvered panel that allows ventilation. A fascia may also have translucence as used in lighted merchandising sign panels. A fascia is generally held in position by a frame or interlocking connector or it may be adhesive-backed as in a vinyl keypad or control pad.

A label (as distinct from signage) is a piece of paper, plastic film, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or product, on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item. Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labeling.
