due or payable to the Contractor on any account whatsoever. The liquidated damages payable
under this paragraph are in addition to and without prejudice to any other remedy, action or

possess the following components and characteristics.
Programmable:
The controller shall be factory programmed with a variety of spray sequences
designed according to the requirements of the client. The controller shall be
equipped with the flexibility to modify the sequences using a transportable
memory cartridge.
Time switch:
The controller shall be equipped with a 24hrl7day programmable digital time
switch to set the operational hours of the facility. The time switch shall have the

days operate on the same schedule. The time switch shall have a 100-hour
battery backup system in case of power failure.
Transformer:
The controller shall contain a 120V primaryl24V secondary transformer with built-
in electrostatic shield protection.
Solector Switches:
The controller shall have 3 position selector switches for each solenoid valve,the
activation device and the time switch. These switches shall be used to select the
operational made of the components(Le. hand,off and automatic).
Enclosure:
The con"ller shall be equipped with a corrosion-resistant, fiber-reinforced
electrical enclosure with NEMA 4X rating. The enclosure shall have stainless
steel lockable latches. The selector switches and time switch shall be mounted
on a stainless steel faceplate.
Outputs:
