Davies Craig EWP LCD Controller Kit (12/24V) - 8002

Davies Craig EWP LCD Controller Kit

For optimum control of Davies, Craig 12 Volt and 24 Volt Electric Water Pumps. Suits EWP, Electric Fans and billeted style Electric Water Pumps.

The updated controller offers a slimmer enhanced rounded appearance and the seven-pin plug is now safely tucked away, out of sight at the base of the Controller, now with 3 mounting options:

• Bracket
• Nylon Plate
• Velcro patch (current method)

The EWP/Fan Digital Controller has two specific functions:

• Manage the operation of the EWP by varying the speed of the pump in response to the coolant temperature
• Manage control of your electric engine fan.

The Controller has a push-button to lock in any temperature from 40°C to 110°C. The Digital Controller will operate the engine’s electric fan automatically once the engine has reached +3°C above the targeted / set temperature. Another significant benefit is that the Controller allows the EWP & Fan to run on after ignition shutdown for either 3 minutes or -10°C of set set / target temperature to eliminate heat soak.

The contrasting black & white screen and comprehensive diagnostic menu of engine cooling management at a glance includes:

• Numerical LCD exhibiting real-time numerical on-going engine & targeted/set temperatures
• Flashing EWP logo signifying pump pulse, width, modulation (PWM) operation and delivering the desired coolant flow through the engine
• Individual, adjustable targeted/set temperatures from 40°C to 110°C
• Rotating Davies Craig Thermatic Fan symbol indicating fan operation (which automatically engages at +3ºC above the set/targeted coolant temperature.)
• Your set/targeted temperature can now be held in memory if the battery is disconnected.
• Override feature to assist with EWP bleeding operation.
• Voltage output.

A suite of self-diagnostic ‘test’ functions are still on offer that identify and deliver visual and audible warnings enabling simple trouble-shooting if a system problem is evident. An audible alarm will sound when:

• Coolant temperature doesn’t exceed 40ºC within 5 mins of start-up.
• Coolant exceeds +10ºC of set/targeted temperature.
• Coolant temperature exceeds 100ºC.
• Voltage supply is either too high or too low.
• EWP error.
• Temperature Sensor error.

The LCD EWP/Fan Digital Controller will manage the operation of your chosen EWP or billeted electric water pump by varying the pump’s speed and subsequent coolant flow in response to engine coolant temperature, as well as manage the thermal control of your electric Thermatic engine Fan/s. The EWP/Fan Digital Controller becomes the engine’s new ‘thermostat’ and now has individual targeted temperature settings from 60°C to 110°C. Programmed by simply pushing a button and holding down to set! In combination with a Davies, Craig Thermatic Fan, or other electric engine fans, the temperature of the engine’s cooling system can be more precisely controlled. The EWP/Fan Digital Controller will also operate the EWP after ignition/engine shutdown, circulating coolant and rapidly dissipating heat more efficiently to avoid heat-soak. If the engine temperature cools below the targeted/set temperature, the EWP/Fan Digital Controller will step back from full system voltage back to 12 or 6 volt operation and revert to pulse width modulation (PWM) mode when highway cruising.

Davies, Craig’s updated LCD EWP/Fan Digital Controller continues to be a premium quality product ensuring its increasing range of EWPs will exhibit the ultimate engine cooling experience.

When changing the water pump, we also recommend swapping out your coolant hoses, hose clamps and any other cooling related service parts. To maximise the longevity of your cooling system, its a good idea to run a coolant flush through the system too.
