Blower Switch

The blower speed control is adjusted by a horizontal rocker switch, with + and - on the right and left respectively. This switch provides manual control of blower speed.

There are eight blower speeds. Each press of the blower switch will adjust the blower speed by one speed step in the appropriate direction. Pressing and holding the control will cause the fan speed to change every 0.8 seconds, until the control is released or the maximum or minimum speed is reached.

Blower speed will be indicated by a series of "streamer effect" bars arranged around the top edge of the central display panel. Each bar represents one speed step; eight bars are visible at maximum blower speed.

Blower speed will be controlled automatically if AUTO is selected. The blower will function 0.5 seconds after the end of cranking. If a problem occurs and the IHKA does not receive the end of cranking signal the blower would not be operational until the next crank, to avoid this, the blower will resume operation when the engine speed exceeds 400 rpm with the ignition in position 2 (engine running).
