If you return a controller or a sensor for test or repair, please put your full information in the package with name, address, email and phone number!
It will prevent long delays getting it back to you!
If you run a brush type fan with the HF-125 and it hums at 7Khz, we can stop the hum with special capacitors.
If you run a brushless fan on a low frequency controller, the fan blade will vibrate at low RPM. Brushless fans should be powered with the
HF-125 controller at 7,000 cycles per second.
If your fan has the buzz, it because the fan blade and the armature is not solid. We find this with the over the counter fans from auto supply companies in general.
The cure is the Buzz Box or go with the HF-125 PWM controller.
Some of the best fans are the Ford Mark VIII fans. Find them at junk yards, Ebay or other parts companies. The Mark VIII have no buzz problem that we have found. The Mark VIII fans can be found in the old Lincolns.
The Mark VIII fans have two speed wires. You will only use the HIGH speed and GROUND wires with any of the Auto Cool Controllers.
The Auto Cool Guy now has these special capacitors to cure the high frequency 7,000 Hz tone in you fan.
One each is included with the purchase of the HF-125 controller.
Be sure to get the polarity correct across the two fan wires. Its sold with the clamp and terminals as you see. Install one per fan only. You will notice that the fan will start to turn very slowly as the radiator is warming up - this is normal.
Use these caps only with the HF-125 controller if your fan has the high frequency tone problem.
Hi good morning Darryl The Auto Cool Guy, from the Philippines Islands. Here is my HF-125 up and running smoothly on my 2000 LN166 Toyota Hilux 1kz-te diesel engine with rear mounted radiator beats that heat in the PI!
Best regards, nelbin binag
DIESEL RADIATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Sensor Warning: If your radiator OUTFLOW port is plastic, do not use the Standard Brass sensor. It will not get true heat transferred to the sensor! This will result in very low or no fan RPM.
I made this video of the DX-150 - how it works on the bench.
US ARMY ORDINANCE:
CALLED UP FOR A TOUR IN SOUTH EAST ASIA AND ASSIGNED TO THE 295TH ORD. FROM HASTINGS & GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA
10-68 TO 10-69. MOS: SHIT BURNER!
The photo on the left is the Auto Cool Guy. Location was north of Quan Tri City just south of the DMZ. When we were out of our base camp we always carried our M16s and at least 8 clips of .223 ammo with 20 rounds in each clip.
The photo on the right was taken one night outside of our hooch in Da Nang. For some reason I loaded 35mm high speed slide film in my camera and had it mounted on a tripod ready to go that night. As we were drinking beer and such, all hell brook loose and the sirens went off. Then we heard one of our NCOs telling us to get into our bunker. We answered back to this NCO that we were busy drinking and taking war photos. With my camera and standard lens I shot this time laps photo of a Cobra gun shop spraying 7.62mm rounds on the Da Nang perimeter. In the morning all the MPs found was a dead water buffalo. So you see all the fun you can have in the Army!
We have been building pulse width modulated radiator temperature controllers right here in the USA starting in 2011. We design and build quality and what the customers want!
Auto Cool Quality
A lot of Auto Cool buyer's ask me why the our controller last for years when other controllers have early failures. This may be because of the large heat sink and over rated transistors on Auto Cool controllers. This keeps the internal heat to a minimum and avoids burning up transistors. Also, relays are not used in switching fan current.
The Auto Cool controllers are big but its for a reason - its to absorb heat generated from switching fans with Pulse Width Modulation. The Auto Cool controllers are made from 1/8 inch aluminum base plate for a robust heat sink. Heat can distroy a transistor with thermal runaway if not controlled with a good heat sink.
Soft Start is used on all our controllers. Its works when the controllers start a fan motor from a dead stop.
The pulse width starts from very narrow and widens to give your fan motors a Soft Start. This avoids huge
in-rush current that could even blow the diodes in your alternator! If you intend to purchase the brand X controller for a lower price, see if it has soft start and relays that could fail over time!
There is no calibration or set up required, just install the controller system and drive.
The printed circuit boards inside our controllers are coated with a clear coating to protect the electronic circuits from moisture and FOD. The design of the Auto Cool controllers are so that water will not be held internally.
The Auto Cool Guy found a real Russian Radiator fan controller!
Photo on the left is a new Russian controller. The three other photos are the results of high fan pulse current burning out the PC board and blowing the transistors.
We received an email from Dmitriy in Kazakhstan. He was having problems with his Russian made radiator fan controller. He was also having difficulty with the complex programing of this controller.
Notice that this Russian controller used two small TO-220 transistors and it looks as if they are glued down to the top cover. According to this manufacturer, this controller is rated at 420 watts. Sounds like a good high number, right? That's only 30 amps at 14 volts!
He made the right choice and purchased the NB-100 Auto Cool controller to replace this Russian controller.
Auto Cool Controllers use large solid state transistor to switch the DC fan motors with Pulse Width Modulation. Transistors never arc like relays so solid state means reliability and a long life.
This "controller" is being sold on Ebay and on the web. They are actually AC electric hot water heater controllers being sold for automotive use. Note the very long probe and the metal tube that could break to leave you without a working fan controller. You may find one of these in a black plastic case. The long probe could cause leaks in your radiator over time.
Hot water heater controllers
sold for automotive use???
This is a YOUTUBE video on a Derale PWM fan controller that had problems and was sent back to the vendor. The Auto Cool Guy gets
a lot of calls and emails on the Derale controllers failures!
Notice that the Derale contollers have PVC wire extruding out of their chassis. However the Auto Cool controllers have terminals and brass studs for high current connections.
You can avoid this type of cooling system break down by keeping your radiator temperature constant with the Auto Cool controller. If your car has a controller that cycles on and off, this can cause pressure and temperature peaks that could lead to cooling system failures and you stranded on the highway!
We received an old Spal controller from Bill and a his email explaining the problems he encountered with the Spal and other PWM controllers.
All of the other PWM controllers he purchased failed, with very poor or
no customer service!
Read Bill's letter in the PDF below!
Milton has been receiving a lot of reports on Flex-A-Lite and Derale PWM controllers that are failing. Customer service is another problem with these Brand X controllers that are not made in the United States.
The Auto Cool Guy has a proven track record of quality, long life and # one in customer service! Go to the "Email" page on this web site and see what Auto Cool customers are saying about the Auto Cool Controllers.
