intake heater saver, what does it do?

The practical solutions device, what exactly does it do and why?

It suppresses operation of the grid heaters when the engine coolant temperature is over a certain temperature. Sorry, I can't find my installation guide right now but I think the magic temp is 70 degrees F? Or maybe a little higher-I dunno my memory is pretty good, just extremely short . It prolongs the life of the heaters (and probably the batteries, alternator etc. as well) by only allowing them to cycle when they're really needed. I've had mine installed for around 6 months now-the kit is seamless in operation. In the warmer months, you never notice that they're not cycling-and now that it's cold they work as designed.



If you contact Gordon I'm sure he'll explain it to you a lot better than I have. You'll never deal with a better guy than him!
