Kawasaki ZRX1200 Radiator Fan Circuit Diagram
To inspect and service the 2001 to 2006 Kawasaki ZRX1200 R/S radiator fan system, do the following:
* Remove fuel tank.
* Disconnect the 2 pin connector from radiator fan switch.
* Using an auxiliary wire, connect the radiator fan switch leads of the main harness side.
* Turn the ignition switch ON. If the fan rotates, inspect the fan switch. If the fan does not rotate, inspect: leads and connectors, main fuse, fan fuse, and fan motor.
1. Radiator Fan
2. Radiator Fan Switch
3. Junction Box
4. Fan Fuse 10A
5. Main Fuse 30A
6. Battery 12V14Ah

Automatic cooler fan for amplifiers
The schematic of an automatic cooler fan for audio amplifiers is given here. The circuit automatically switch ON the cooler fan whenever the temperature of the heat sink exceeds a preset level. This circuit will save a lot of energy because the cooler fan will be OFF when the amplifier is running on low volume. At low volume less heat will be dissipated and it will not trigger the cooler fan ON.The temperature is sensed using an NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor R2. Junction of thermistor r2 and resistor R1 is connected to the inverting input (pin3) of IC1 which is wired as a comparator. The non-inverting input (pin2) is given with a reference voltage using the preset R3. As temperature increases the resistance of NTC thermistor will drop and so do the voltage across it. When the voltage at the inverting input becomes less than that of the reference voltage (set for a particular threshold temperature) the output of the comparator goes high and switches the transistor Q1 ON. This will activate the relay and the cooler fan will be switched ON. When the temperature decreases the reverse happens. LED D2 will glow when the fan is ON. Diode D1 is a freewheeling diode.
Notes.
The circuit can be assembled on a Vero board.
Use 12V DC for powering the circuit.
The circuit can be calibrated by adjusting the preset R3.
K1 can be a 12V, 200 ohm, SPST relay.
LM311 must be mounted on a holder.

Digital Fan Regulator
The circuit presented here can be used to control the speed of fans using induction motor. The speed control is nonlinear, i.e. in steps. The current step number is displayed on a 7-segment display. Speed can be varied over a wide range because the circuit can alter the voltage applied to the fan motor from 130V to 230V RMS in a maximum of seven steps. The triac used in the final stage is fired at different angles to get different voltage outputs by applying short-dura-tion current pulses at its gate. For this pur-pose a UJT relax-ation oscillator is used that outputs sawtooth waveform. This waveform is coupled to the gate of the triac through an optocoupler (MOC3011) that has a triac driver output stage.
Pedestal voltage control is used for varying the firing angle of the triac. The power supply for the relaxation oscillator is derived from the rectified mains via 10-kilo-ohm, 10W series dropping/limit-ing resistor R2. The pedestal voltage is derived from the non-filtered DC through optocoupler 4N33. The conductivity of the Darlington pair transistors inside this optocoupler is varied for getting the pedestal voltage. For this, the positive sup-ply to the LED inside the optocoupler is connected via different values of resistors using a multiplexer (CD4051).
Digital Fan Regulator Circuit diagram:
The value of resistance selected by the multiplexer depends upon the control in-put from BCD up-/down-counter CD4510 (IC5), which, in turn, controls forward bi-asing of the transistor inside optocoupler 4N33. The same BCD outputs from IC5 are also connected to the BCD-to-7-seg-ment decoder to display the step number on a 7-segment display. NAND gates N3 and N4 are config-ured as an astable multivibrator to produce rectangular clock pulses for IC5, while NAND gates N1 and N2 generate the active-low count enable (CE) input using either of push-to-on switches S1 or S2 for count up or count down operation, respectively, of the BCD counter.
Optocoupler 4N33 electrically isolates the high-voltage section and the digital section and thus prevents the user from shock hazard when using switches S1 and S2. BCD-to-7-segment decoder CD4543 is used for driving both common-cathode and common-anode 7-segment displays. If phase input pin 6 is ‘high’ the decoder works as a common-anode decoder, and if phase input pin 6 is ‘low’ it acts as a common-cathode decoder. Optocoupler 4N33 may still conduct slightly even when the display is zero, i.e. pin 13 (X0, at ground level) is switched output pin 3. To avoid this problem, adjust preset VR1 as required using a plastic-handled screwdriver to get no output at zero reading in the display.
