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!
Full line of sensors for the Auto Cool Controllers
Copper Inline
Sensors:
If you have a PLASTIC radiator outflow port, you need use the inline copper sensor. If you use the standard brass sensor on the plastic port, it will not absorb the correct amount of heat. This will lead to a lower fan RPM that will let the radiator run hotter than normal.
The copper inline sensor can be ordered in 1.25 - 1.50 - 1.75 and 2 inch OD. Measure your hose ID for the best copper inline sensor fit. Be sure to email the diameter required.
One year warranty
on all sensors!

Standard Brass Sensor:
With each controller sold, we supply a standard brass sensor as standard.
However, if you order a Brass Plug or Copper
Inline Sensor, we do not include a Standard
Brass Sensor.
The Standard Brass sensor is mounted on the OUTFLOW port under the rubber hose. The sensor detects the outflow temperature and sets the fan RPM to keep the outflow port at a constant temperature.
If you have a radiator with plastic tanks and ports, you may want to order one of the copper inline sensor or the 3/8 inch brass plug sensor.
This sensor has a five foot twisted pair of 20 gauge wire that is connected to your Auto Cool Controller. If you add wire to the sensor line, be sure to solder the splice to avoid open failures down the road.
If you order one of the Brass Plug Sensors, please email us the size you need. 1/8 - 1/4 or 3/8 inch.
A short YouTube video on the Brass Plug sensors from the Auto Cool Guy. 1/8 - 1/4 - 3/8 NPT
Be sure to use TEFLON tape on this type of sensor
for proper seal and no leaks!
We can make you a special sensor to order. This one has an extra port for a drain.
Customer wanted to measure radiator inflow and outflow temperature with 1/2 inch ports on his radiator
The Standard Brass Sensor will form fit all out flow ports sizes! No need to tell us you want X size Standard Brass Sensor!!!!!!
We now have three Brass Plug Sensors.
1/8 inch - 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch
Be sure you tell the Auto Cool Guy the
size of the sensor you need for your
radiator. You can send an email or even a
phone call. All three have the same price.
Mount the Brass Plug Sensor close to the
outflow port if you can - on the bottom of the
radiator.
We supply extra twisted pair wire to extend
to your Auto Cool Controller.
BAD IDEA - LEADS TO
LEAKS IN RADIATOR
The guys at Brand X controller company has you stick probes into your radiator core. This can lead to leaks from vibration over time and miles.
Use only our sensor for Auto Cool, the brand X will not work!
THE STANDARD BRASS SENSOR
Here is a simple trick to raise or lower the temperature range of your controller. Running to COLD, install a resistor in SERIES with one lead of the sensor. Start with 1000 ohms to about 5000 ohms, or use a small pot to set it. Running to HOT, install a small resistor across the sensor terminals. Start with about 100,000 ohm and lower as needed. Use a small pot to adjust this and and replace with a fixed resistor. Call the Auto Cool Guy if you have any questions.
