I don't remember the name of the type of outlet in the PB4, but I do remember they are a mechanical switch and do click.
@Brew12 might be able to answer better than I because I think he's an electrician

I can't find any documentation on the PB4 but if the internal relay is failing I'm not sure there is much you can do about it. Never a good sign when a mechanical relay changes in sound during operation.

the pb4 mechanical relays are 1 and 4 i have a dosing pump on each. plug 3 is my main return and 2 is my heater. my heater kicks on and off about ever half hour or so. 100watt neotherm. clicks everytime it turns off NOT on and started this month ago its a year plus old.

The triac outputs have no mechanical device to click. Something may be causing outlets one and four to toggle on and off.

ends up it us my neotherm 100 watt heater... time to replace i guess not taking a chance it blowing.
