- the controllable clock 82 always resumes when the flow rate is zero (no fluid flows through line 21) or when the period of time is exceeded p -established before exceeding the predetermined quantity of fluid that is allowed to flow within that period. If the flow of the predetermined amount of fluid is exceeded within the predetermined (allowed) time frame, the actuator 40 is energized.
