Product Information

Full details

The Davies Craig Digital Thermatic EWP/Fan Switch is designed for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics who need precise control over their engine's cooling system. Its key benefit is automatically activating cooling fans or electric water pumps at user-defined temperatures, ensuring optimal engine performance and preventing overheating. A key consideration is that for 24-volt applications, specific 24-volt relays must be purchased separately, as the kit is configured for 12-volt operation. This versatile switch offers adjustable temperature ranges and multiple sensor mounting options for flexible installation.

FAQs

How do I set the desired temperature?

Press the button on the front of the unit repeatedly to cycle through the temperature settings. The selected temperature will be displayed digitally.

Can this switch control the speed of my electric water pump?

No, this switch is designed to turn electric water pumps (EWPs) on and off only. For speed control, a dedicated Davies Craig EWP/Fan controller is recommended.

What is the difference between the probe sensor and the thermatic sensor?

The probe sensor is designed to be inserted into the radiator hose or between radiator fins for temperature sensing. The thermatic sensor is designed to screw into a waterway in the engine block, radiator, or a coolant hose (with an adapter).

My vehicle is 24 volts, what do I need to do?

The kit is configured for 12-volt operation. For 24-volt applications, you will need to replace the two included relays with 24-volt compatible units, which are not supplied with the kit.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or Davies Craig official website for the most current warranty information, as it may vary.

How accurate is the temperature reading?

The switch offers precise digital temperature control within its adjustable range of 40-110°C. Accuracy can depend on the sensor's placement and direct contact with the coolant or airflow.

Can I use this with a single cooling fan?

Yes, the switch can be used to control a single cooling fan or an electric water pump.

Troubleshooting

Cooling fan or EWP not activating.

Check all electrical connections for security and correct polarity. Verify the temperature sensor is correctly installed and reading accurately. Ensure the activation temperature is set below the current engine temperature. For 24v systems, confirm 24v relays are installed.

Fan or EWP activates too early or too late.

Recalibrate the temperature setting on the unit. Ensure the sensor is placed in an accurate location to measure the true coolant temperature. Check for proper airflow around the sensor if using a radiator fin probe.

Unit does not power on.

Verify the power and ground connections are secure and connected to a reliable power source. Check the vehicle's fuse for the circuit. Ensure the unit is receiving the correct voltage (12v or 24v).

Twin fans do not have a delay between them.

Confirm that the wiring for the second fan is correctly connected to the designated output for the delayed fan. Ensure the switch is functioning correctly and not bypassing the delay circuit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides precise, user-settable temperature control for cooling systems.
  • Automates fan and electric water pump activation, reducing manual intervention.
  • Offers flexible installation with different sensor mounting options.
  • Includes a useful delay feature for twin fan setups.
  • Supports both 12v and 24v systems, enhancing versatility.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of 24-volt relays for 24-volt applications.
  • Does not control the speed of electric water pumps, only on/off function.
  • Installation may require some automotive wiring knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the optimal mounting location for the switch unit and sensor.
  2. Choose the appropriate sensor (probe or thermatic) and install it according to the chosen mounting method (radiator hose, radiator fins, or waterway).
  3. Connect the wiring harness, ensuring all connections are secure. For 12v systems, use the provided relays. For 24v systems, replace the included relays with 24v compatible units.
  4. Connect the power and ground wires to the vehicle's electrical system.
  5. Set the desired activation temperature using the button on the front of the unit.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for vehicles operating on 12v or 24v electrical systems.
  • Compatible with electric cooling fans and electric water pumps (EWPs).
  • For 24v operation, ensure 24v relays are used.
  • Note: This switch controls EWPs on/off only; for speed control, use a dedicated EWP controller.

Care:

  • Keep the unit clean and free from excessive dirt and moisture.
  • Periodically inspect sensor connections for corrosion or damage.
  • Use a damp cloth to clean the unit; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
