Housed electronics are potted for water resistance and vibration protection, and the package includes the relay, inline fuse, wiring, terminals, a thread-in probe with adapter bushings, and room for an optional manual override switch. It’s designed for common automotive installations and supports typical 12‑volt fan circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the controller determine when to switch the fan on and off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit uses a temperature probe that threads into a coolant or header port and senses engine temperature. You can adjust the turn-on point across a specified range so the fan comes on only when needed. It also senses A\/C engagement and energizes the fan whenever the air conditioning is on to improve condenser performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable activation range approximately 160–220°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread-in temperature probe with adapter bushings for 1\/4\", 3\/8\", and 1\/2\" NPT ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic A\/C input forces fan on for better cooling and condenser efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat wiring and components are included for installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit arrives with the relay, an inline fuse assembly, wiring harness and electrical terminals sized for standard fan installations.
