A control system for turning on and off an apparatus which discharges a coating liquid onto objects at a coating station. A sensor positioned adjacent the path of the objects upstream of the coating station initiates an interval timer as an object passes. After a predetermined time delay, the timer turns on a discharge gun positioned at the coating station, to begin to deposit the liquid upon the object. The timer maintains the discharge gun in an actuated condition for a predetermined time duration, and then turns the gun off. The control provides rapid and reliable turn on and turn off of the coating apparatus without false triggering, and provides precise time intervals which are continuously settable over an exceptionally wide range. The control utilizes a rapid reset hold and lock out circuit, SCR switches, unijunction relaxation oscillators having constant current charging circuits, an over voltage output circuit with short circuit protection, and means for programming the operation of plural discharge devices over different time periods.
