Diagram #1
This unit utilizes an auto resetting circuit breaker to protect the fan
and controller circuit. In the event of an electrical short, the breaker
will “trip” and open the connection between the battery and the
controller. If this happens, turn the vehicle off and let it cool before
restarting the system. The breaker will automatically reset.
IMPORTANT WARNING
This unit is designed to control one electric fan with
a Maximum Draw of 35 Continuous Amps.
For proper installation the control module must be
mounted within 5 feet of the vehicle's battery.
