Hydraulic Fan System Controller : HFS - 2
Thermistor Requirements:
The controller operation is based on input from up to three temperature measured
zones.
One, two or all three inputs can be used depending on the system requirements with
all three thermistor inputs able to be enabled or disabled independently within the
set-up software.
Two wire NTC thermistors sensors with both wires brought back to the unit are
required for each zone being monitored.
DO NOT use
hermistors with one lead grounded as
he sensor and

The inputs can be from NTC ( Negative Temperature Coefficient ) Thermistors or Bi-
Metallic temperature switches and the choice can be made in the set-up software.
accuracy will be severely degraded !
The controller is compatible with most automotive type thermistors with Borg
Warner, Delphi and Ford IAT sensors being pre-configured and selectable on a drop
down menu.
Other transducers not pre-set may have their profiles added and stored under user
selectable names for future use b

Fan ‘ON’ Delay:
The fan ‘ON’ delay feature is intended to hold the fan at no rotation to avoid unnecessary windage forces and
allow the ( hot ) engine to start with minimum loading possible.
This ‘Start Up Delay ‘ is programmable by the user via the software set-up program and can be set from zero (0) to
sixty ( 60 ) seconds in one second increments.
This delay is activated every time the main power supply input is removed and re-applied to the controller.
In the case of a normally acting proportional valve, the current is held at zero output for the delay time.

If a reverse acting valve is used, the output current is held at the maximum set in the software to ensure the fan is
fully OFF.
