Shipment

Each BriskHeat® Temperature Controller is shipped in a box specially designed to protect the unit during shipment.

The box containing the controller should be stored indoors in a dry, protected area. Under no circumstances should condensation, rain, snow or water be allowed to come in contact with the box or the controller while in storage.

Storage

Avoid storing the controller in places where:

 The ambient temperature may reach beyond the range of:

 -40 to +80 °C (-40 to 176°F).

 The humidity conditions may go beyond:

 0 to 90% at 40 °C non-condensing

 10 to 50% at 55 °C non-condensing

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A person who has not read and understood all operating instructions is not qualified to operate this product.

 Only qualified personnel are allowed to connect electrical wiring.

 All electrical wiring must follow local electrical codes and highly recommend following NEC Article 427.

 Final installation / wiring is to be inspected by the authority who has jurisdiction in the area that the heating tape is installed.

 The end-user is responsible for providing a suitable disconnecting device.

 The end-user is responsible for providing suitable electrical protection device. It is highly recommended that a ground fault circuit breaker is used.


 Inspect all components before use.

 Do not use controller if any component is damaged.

 Do not repair a damaged or faulty controller.

 Do not crush or apply severe physical stress on any component of system, including cord assembly.

 Unplug controller when not in use.

Failure to observe these warnings may result in personal injury or damage to the temperature controller.

 Do not immerse or spray controller with liquid.

 Keep volatile or combustible material away from heater when in use.

 Keep sharp metal objects away from heater.

Failure to observe these warnings may result in electric shock, risk of fire, and personal injury.

Installation

It is recommended that the user read this manual in its entirety before installing or operating the temperature control system.

Unless otherwise specified, the controller’s end user must supply branch-circuit protection and the disconnecting means.

General

BriskHeat

® temperature controllers are designed to operate from a single power input connection. Unless custom ordered, BriskHeat

®

temperature controllers do not provide over current protection nor do they have the means of disconnecting power. The end user is responsible for the disconnecting means and branch circuit protection. It is highly recommended that the end user protect the controller with a GFCI, in case of ground-fault.

All electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance to all applicable building regulations, electrical codes, and safety standards.

The controller should be installed indoors in an area that is dry and classified as a non-hazardous location.

Mounting the MPC Controller:

The following procedure should be used when installing the MPC temperature controller.

1. Choose an appropriate location considering the following: a. Proximity to a suitable power supply. b. Proximity to overcurrent protection. c. Proximity to a means of disconnecting or switching equipment. d. Appropriate clearances

i. Example: clearance to open enclosure door at least 90°, clearance to allow easy connection of power

cords and sensors

e. Operating temperature does not go beyond the range of: i. -10 to +55 °C (+14 to131 °F) f. Humidity conditions do not go beyond: i. 0 to 90% up to 40 °C non-condensing, 10 to 50% at 55 °C non-condensing.

2. Mount the controller securely in the chosen location. All four mounting holes should be used and bolted to a strong stable support. The mounted location must provide easy access for the operator. The following drawings display the three different size enclosures that the MPC controllers will use. The drawings display the maximum exterior dimensions, mounting dimensions and recommended clearances needed for normal operation. Depending on the options that have been selected for the MPC controller, the enclosure size for a particular controller may actually be larger than displayed in this manual. In such cases, the customer should contact the factory for the specific enclosure size. (Actual dimensions may vary slightly in the field. All designs are subject to change without notification.)

Power Input Connections:

Connect the power supply lines for the controller per the following drawings. The distribution block will be located in the bottom center of the inner panel. The installer should punch the appropriate sized hole to install the conduit for the input power

The hazard of electrical shock exists with any electrical installation. Disconnect all power routed to the controller at its source before making any internal connections. Check the controller’s data label or the electrical schematics for the required power supply necessary for your controller. A qualified electrician must make all electrical connections in accordance to all applicable building regulations, electrical codes, and safety standards.

Operation

1. All MPC controllers use, “J” type thermocouples. The thermocouple jacks accept mini thermocouple plugs.

2. Place the thermocouple sensing tip between the surfaces to be heated and the heater to be controlled. The thermocouple tip must be placed in a location which best reflects the end user’s application. Depending on the object’s size and shape, there may be spots that are warmer or colder due to different thermal transfer parameters.

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 controller’s set point, 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.

3. Plug the power lead of the heater (s) into the appropriate zone receptacle.

4. Plug the thermocouple into the thermocouple jack that corresponds to the zone that it is measuring.

5. Push the green switch located on the front of the controller to the “ON” position. The green switch will latch into a recess position and will illuminate.

6. Program each zone controller with the values needed to properly control the heater. (See Programming and Operation page12)

7. It is highly recommended that the end user select the self-tuning for optimal performance. (See Programming and Operation page12)
