John Reilly Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Bought this unit 7 years ago and have no paperwork or instructions. Q1, Orange Fan #1 Blue Fan # 2 Green A/C Clutch Fan itself has an earth wire and a blue for the power input so; what connects to what? Q2, The sensor, must it be inserted into the coolant under a hose connection or is it inserted between the radiator fins externally. I have heard both are options? Appreciate any advice on this matter John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hi John, I recently sent Pete Fenlon a Kenlowe controller with a set of instructions. You could try sending him a PM to ask for a copy. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted February 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thank you Ian, Now, how do I get his details so I can send him a message. Sorry but I'm not knowledgable on the use of such. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Looks like a twin fan set up for a vehicle with aircon. there are some videos in YouTube describing this. I would imaging still good for non air con car. Just omitting that wire. H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikej Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Being in an earthing phase (!) I'd recommend attaching that connection with the other earths where the horn bracket is fixed. So earthed to the body shell rather than any of the various chassis options in that area. MJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 It is only the blue and orange connections I am concerned about as the others are logical. The supply cable to the fan is blue so it seems to make sense that the controller output blue connects to the fan input blue. The orange output connection is a puzzle as it has a line fuse incorporated ??? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) If it's any help I found this which looks to be the thing ? : http://voltaland.free.fr/Aspati/KenloweFanInstrct.pdf The blue wire is fan fast, orange is fan slow - both going to the same two-speed fan. The sensor is the radiator fitting type rather than hose fitting. Edited February 18, 2021 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thank you very much, that should do the job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HowardB Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I have one fitted to my 7 many years ago and would suggest one minor modification to the Kenlowe wiring diagram. I swapped the fan feed from a non-switched supply which allows the fan to run on after you stop if the car if the engine is hot. Cheers Howard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Howard I changed my fan to work after switch off as Howard did, think it’s worthwhile. Edited February 18, 2021 by Steves_TR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
