This kit includes two thermal sensors offering numerous installation options for coolant temperature sensing whilst the inline adaptor allows easy fitting directly into the radiator hose. Just screw the 1/4 NPT sensor directly into the inline adaptor and remove about 17mm (2/3”) of radiator hose, fit the inline adaptor between each hose and secure the hose clamps.

  • Temperature Probe: It senses air temperature as it passes through the radiator with the sensor placed in the radiator fin section.
  • 1/4 NPT Thermal Sensor: Just screw the 1/4 NPT sensor directly into the inline adaptor or it can be placed into the thermostat housing, engine block, or directly into the radiator.

The switch can run 1 or 2 fans and be used for 12 or 24 volt applications. It has an adjustable temperature range of 40ºC to 110ºC (104ºF to 230ºF) which can show Centigrade or Fahrenheit.

  • Fan #1 will start once the temperature reaches the set temperature.
  • Fan #2 (if applicable) will start operation 10 seconds after fan #1 starts. The fan/s will operate until the temperature falls by 5°C below the set temperature.
