The fans operate sequentially according to the following: schedule:

With the temperature increasing, the first fan is energized at 101°C / 213.8°F, the second fan in energized at 102°C / 215.6°F.

With the temperature falling, the second fan is de-energised at 101°C / 213.8°F and the first fan is de-energised at 100°C / 212°F

The sensors are proportional with the resistance varying according to the temperature.

The two sensors are identical, they can be swapped for diagnostic purposes

Temperature/Resistance relationship

At 100C it is 0.2kohms

At 110C it is 0.15kohms

a span of 0.05kohms over 10C

If you plan to test them, uses a pan of water that you can control the heat, you will need a thermometer.
