Icecap Fans

Do the 4" Icecap fans with the sensor stop turning when a low temp is detected? I was thinking that they would not have to be put on timers with my lights and would turn on and off when heat was detected. I know that they will turn faster as the temp. rises but was not sure if they eventually stop turning. Thanks

Nope, they are running as long as they are plugged in. They will operate at the slowest speed until the heat builds up and causes them to speed up.

Just make sure the sensors are far from water otherwise they'll rust and them won't work properly.
