Flex-a-Lite 32050 Installation Instructions

Screw-in temperature sensor (to be used with flex-a-lite variable speed control)

(To be used with Flex-a-lite Variable Speed Control)

Before beginning, be sure that the Variable Speed Control unit (VSC) is mounted close enough

to the temperature sensor so that the wires will reach the control unit. The lead on the sensor is

approximately 4 feet.

Using threaded adapters if necessary (included), screw the sensor into the desired

location using Teﬂon tape to seal the threads. Use Flex-a-lite part no. 32082 (1½" diameter)

or 32084 (1¾" diameter) to mount sensor inline with radiator hose (Preferred location - see

Detail A). Alternatively, the sensor can be mounted in the intake manifold (see Detail

B) or cylinder head or block (see Detail C). Do NOT overtighten.

Carefully strip the ends of the wires. Fold the wire back on itself to effectively double

the thickness (see Detail D). Using a quality crimping tool, crimp the female connectors

provided on the ends. Attach the wires to terminals 10 & 11 on the VSC (it doesn't matter

which wire goes to which spade, but both wires must be connected). Make sure the temp.

sensor wires are at least 2-3" away from exhaust manifolds or other extreme heat

sources.

Start the vehicle and check for leaks. When the engine has reached desired operating

temperature, adjust the VSC to turn the fan(s) on (see page 2).
