How the Auto Cool controllers operate:
The sensor is measuring the OUTFLOW temperature of your radiator
and then sets the fan RPM to regulate the OUTFLOW temperature you have dialed with the black knob. So if you have set the OUTFLOW temperature 10 to 20 degrees F. below your thermostat temperature you will have rock solid engine temperature. Use a laser temperature gun at the OUTFLOW to
check your regulation. Check it parked and motor at an idle.
Also keep in mind, that three things are going to effect the fan RPM.
First is your speed, second is motor loading, and outside air temperature.
Starting your engine for the first time you will NOT see the fans start.
I do not want to hear the BS term "KICKING ON." When the radiator has reached about 140 F, +/-, the fan or fans will start to turn slowly. The fan(s) will increase RPM and reach the point of regulation that you have set with the black knob. For A/C fan speed control, there is a small pot on the side of the controller that sets this fan speed. The radiator control will over ride this fan speed.
Brushless fans: If you have this type of fan, it will fibrate at low RPM unless your purchase our 7Khz HF-125 controller.
Our controllers have Soft Start that limits inrush current from starting a dc fan motor from a dead stop. This is what brand X controller boys fail to realize and why their controllers keep burning out. Auto Cool also has a cool down timer, so when you turn off the ignition, the fans will operate for under a minute.

We have been building the Auto Cool Controllers right here in the USA starting in 2011. We build what the customers wants.
The Auto Cool Guy supplies the Standard Brass Sensor with your controller. However, if you purchase a Brass Plug Sensor or one of the Copper Inline Sensors, we do not supply the Standard Brass Sensor as the default sensor with your order.
All shipments south of the USA border should go via UPS, FED-X OR DHL,
If you have any doubts about your in-country postal system, go with UPS.
We are having major delays in shipments out and getting parts due to the world wide covid problem.
Here are some handy tools for installing the Auto Cool Controller.
"Keep it Cool with Auto Cool."
LASER TEMPERATURE GUN
Use a laser temperature gun to measure your radiator and engine temperature. Point the spot on a black surface to have better accuracy. A bright or white surface will not read the correct tempature.
You can find these at Harbor Freight Tools and Home Depot.
DC VOLT METER
Use a DC volt meter to measure battery voltage. If you have an alternator not charging your battery, this simple meter could save you time to find the problem. Test your battery voltage with the engine running. It should be around 13.8 volts DC. If you find it at or below 12 volts with the motor running, the system is not charging. You could also have a wiring problem.
You can find these at low cost meters at Harbor Freight Tools.
DC CURRENT CLAMP METER
A DC current clamp is very handy to measure the current of fan motors. With Auto Cool Controllers, measure the full RPM current at 12 - 14 volts DC.
They can be found on Ebay. However be very sure that the current clamp you purchase will measure DC CURRENT!!!
