Thank you for purchasing the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) TBRC-001 Temperature Based
Relay Controller. The TBRC-001 is designed to control two independent relays based on temperature
sensor readings. This module can be used to:
• Independently activate two relays in order to control fans, pumps, or other devices.
• This module is used in the LPE intercooler radiator kits to control the two fans at high and low
speeds, and also in the LPE differential cooler kits to control the fan and pump.
• Activate intercooler water spray based on air temperature or alcohol injection based on intercooler
temperature.
• Activate a warning light based on exhaust gas temperature, transmission fluid temperature, oil
temperature, or other temperature readings.

Sensor Ground
This wire provides a ground path for the sensor.
Purple
Sensor Signal
This wire connects to the sensor signal output wire.
Gray
Relay Output #1
This wire should be connected to a relay used to control components such as a intercooler
radiator fan or differential cooler fan. This output provides normally off ground activation.
Yellow
Relay Output #2
This wire should be connected to a relay used to control components such as a intercooler
radiator fan or differential cooler fan. This output provides normally off ground activation.
Use this output for Output Cycling Mode.
Settings:
• Controlled by four (4) ten position switches, one (1) sixteen position switch, and
four (4) DIP switches
• Two (2) ten position switches for selecting the temperature settings for Relay #1
• degrees Fahrenheit (in hundreds of degrees)
• degrees Fahrenheit (in tens of degrees)
• possible temperature range of 0-990 degrees Fahrenheit in 10 degree
increments
• Two (2) ten position switches for selecting the temperature settings for Relay #2
• degrees Fahrenheit (in hundreds of degrees)
• degrees Fahrenheit (in tens of degrees)
• possible temperature range of 0-990 degrees Fahrenheit in 10 degree increments
• For EGT type sensors (sensor settings of 8, 9, A, or B on TBRC-001), 1000 degrees Fahrenheit is added to the
selected temperature setting. For an EGT type sensor, the possible temperature range is 1000-1990 degrees
Fahrenheit in 10 degree increments.
• One (1) sixteen position switch for selecting the sensor type and activation hysteresis
