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).

Key Combinations:
• UP ARROW & ENTER: Pressing these keys simultaneously
brings up the Secondary Menu starting at the alarm, tune, or
cycle item (depending on the programming). Pressing these
keys for 5 seconds will bring up the Secure Menu.
• INDEX & DOWN ARROW: Pressing these keys
simultaneously will allow backing up one menu item, or if at the
first menu item, they will cause the display to return to the
Primary Menu. If an alarm condition has occurred, then these
keys may be used to reset the alarm. To reset an alarm press and
hold both keys for three seconds.
• INDEX & ENTER: Pressing these keys simultaneously and
holding them for 5 seconds allows recovery from the various
error messages.
Programming The controller’s programming is divided up into three menus:

own PID values to maintain good control. This is the
recommended choice since all systems react differently. If
SELF is selected, the following two menu items will appear.
• Lern -- select YES or no.
YES starts the learning process, and finishes by reverting to
no.
no will keep the present variables.
• dFAC is the damping factor that sets the ratio of Rate to
Reset for the SELF mode. For a fast response
process, the value should be lowered. For a slower
process, the value should be increased.
• Pid allows manual adjustment of PID values. This option
should only be selected if the end user has an understanding of
how a PID system works. If Pid is selected, the following menu
items will appear.

Installation The following procedure should be used when installing the
BriskONE temperature controller.
1. Choose an appropriate location with the following:
• Proximity to a suitable power supply.
• Appropriate clearances (for example: clearance to allow
easy installation of connectors).
• Ambient temperature does not go beyond the range of -
10 to +55 oC (+14 to 131 oF).
• Humidity conditions do not go beyond 0 to 90% up to 40
oC non-condensing, 10 to 50% at 55 oC non-condensing
2. If the temperature controller is not to be mounted, then:
• The controller’s resting surface must be stable and easy
to access for inspection.
