TB4000 Bulb and Capillary  

Temperature Controller 

Sensor Location: 

Position and attach bulb temperature sensor directly on top of the heater or 
touching the edge of the heater while also contacting the surface being heated. 
Temperature sensing bulb must be in close proximity of heater for accurate 
temperature control and to prevent over-heating. Use appropriate  
temperature- rated adhesive tape to attach bulb or for large tanks and vessels 
use a bulb bracket (available from BriskHeat

)

Electrical Connections:

 

Holes for conduit and fittings may be made using a standard hole saw. Take 
care to avoid damaging components when making holes.   

 

Heater Connections:

 

Connect heater wires to the proper terminals. Proper over-current protection 
should be located in the supply lines. Contact your local distributor or 
BriskHeat

or [email protected] for additional assistance. 

 

Alarm Connections (If applicable):

 

On all models with the alarm feature, the loose wire must be connected to the 
proper terminal on the terminal block for the light to function in the proper 
manner.  Refer to the electrical diagram on the next page. 
 
On some models, a transformer may be supplied or retrofitted to avoid running 
a second alarm supply.  Consult the factory for assistance with your specific 
installation/application. 

 

DO NOT BEND, KINK, OR CRIMP THE BULB 
AND CAPILLARY - This will cause loss of  
calibration and might render the controller  
inoperative.  All warranties will be void if bulb or 
capillary is damaged. 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Mounting: 

The enclosure should be mounted in a suitable location.  Be sure that the bulb 
will reach the desired sensing area.  The mounting holes can be turned to aid 
in installation if necessary.
