Bill,
Man, did you make me laugh when you said the best place for the sensor was
in the trash. I sorta thought the same thing even before I unwraped it. I
looked over the Hayden sensors. I like the design, but the fixed sensor was
185º. The adjustable was something like 160º-190º, but I really didn't want
to spend $50 just for a sensor/relay combination. Maybe I'll try contacting
Perma-cool and see what they advise about this sensor. I'll let you know
what happens. Maybe I should just save the hassle, send it back to Summit
and just spend $50 for the adjustable Hayden. I'll let you know. Thanks,
Rich

I have the same one and your assumption is correct but I know the best place
to put it is in the trash. I had instrcutions and installed accordingly but
it does not work properly and gets way too hot before it comes on. I have
switches to both fans where I can run one, two or none. I have the second
one
hooked to the AC which comes on OK but you really should have both on with
the AC. I have the other through the thermostat switch thing and it just
does
not work right. I am looking for something that will work and it sounds like
the one that Bern has will do the trick. Let me know if you find a use for
the permacool one that will work.
Bill
