Operation
To begin operation of the BriskONE controller, follow these
steps:
1. Plug the input power cord into the controller (see Figure 2 for
input power receptacle location). Then connect the other end of
power cord into a properly grounded 120VAC or 240VAC
outlet.
A BriskONE controller purchased for 120VAC operations can
easily be changed for 240VAC operation and vice versa. A
120VAC controller comes equipped with a 120VAC input
power cord and a 15Amp fuse. To change the operations to
240VAC, a 240VAC input power cord and 10Amp fuse is
required (see page 22 for ordering information).
Note:
Before operating the controller, see the “Installation”
section for proper location of the controller.
2. Turn the red on/off rocker switch to the “ON” position. Rocker
switch will light up.
3. Program the controller with the values needed to properly
control the heater (see programming instructions - pages 5-16) .
4. Place the thermocouple tip in a location which best reflects the
heater’s temperature. Depending on the object’s shape, during
heating there may be spots which are warmer or colder.
If all areas of the object must reach a minimum temperature, then
place the thermocouple tip on the coldest spot.
If the temperature of any area of the object cannot go above the
temperature setpoint, then place the thermocouple tip on the
hottest spot.
If a temperature differential is allowable, then place the
thermocouple tip on an area where the temperature is between
the hottest and coldest.
5. Plug thermocouple into the controller. Verify that the
temperature displayed on the upper display is the actual
temperature of the heating system.
If not, check to ensure the
thermocouple plug was correctly wired and connected to the
controller.
6. Plug the power cord for the heater into the controller (see
“Installation” section for instructions on how to assemble the
plug to the heater cord).
