The Variable Speed Control has new features.

At the set temperature, the fans will come on at 60%; this reduces the load on your charging system. If the
temperature rises, the fan speed will increase. If your set temperature is 195

°F, then between 195° and 205°

the fan speed will increase from 60% to 100%. So after a 10

°

rise from the set point, the fans will be running at

100%.

Initial Start-up and Adjustment Procedures

1. Turn ignition on. After 6 seconds, LED #L4 should light up. If not, check to make sure that there is 12 volts at termi-
nal #9 on the VSC. The delay is to allow the starter to start the vehicle without the fans drawing any power.
2. With the engine running, engage the A/C. The fans should come on and cycle with the A/C clutch. LED’s #L1, L3
and L4 should be lit when the fans are running. If they do not turn on, verify that the A/C clutch is engaged and make
sure you have a positive signal when the clutch is engaged at terminal #8 on the VSC. Shut off A/C and let engine
continue to idle, or drive the vehicle a short distance to bring the engine to operating temperature (monitor the vehicle’s
temperature gauge).
3. Verify that operating temperature has been reached by feeling the upper radiator hose. Hot water should be flowing
through the hose into the radiator. If the fans have not cycled on yet, slowly adjust the screw on the VSC until the fans
cycle on. Turning the screw further in this direction will keep the engine at a lower temperature, and turning in the
opposite direction will keep the engine at a higher temperature. NOTE: THE TOTAL MOVEMENT OF THE AD-
JUSTMENT SCREW IS ABOUT 3/4 OF A TURN. TURNING THE SCREW BEYOND THE LIMITS WILL
DAMAGE THE UNIT!
Once the desired temperature is set, let the engine continue to idle and make sure the fans will
cycle to maintain desired temperature. When the fans are running, LED’s #L1 and L4 should be lit.
