Buying Guide to Products
1st Product: The most important is the Fuse Panel.
This distributes the electrical power to all accessories
and critical automotive functions
2nd Product: Ignition Switch Controller: supplies the
electrical current to the fuse panel. The ISC protects
the ignition switch from destructive high current and
reduces mechanical wear.
3rd Product: Headlight/Motor Controller: reduces the
operating current by sequencing the headlight current
and motor current by operating each independently.
It also removes high current from all associated
switches including the lift motor limit switches.
4th Product: The Radiator Fan Controller: adjusts the
fan speed to control the coolant leaving the radiator to
140 degrees this allows the engine thermostat to
control the engine temperature at 180 degrees.
5th Product: Rocker Switches for Headlights, Fan,
Interior Lights. Pantera Electronics rocker switches
utilize internal relays with 15 amp contacts and
connect to the wire harness the same as the factory
switches. In addition the switches illuminate for night
and have indicators for status.
OR
the Console Switch Interface: protects the factory
rocker switches and provides additional features as
modern automotive switches.
6th Product: Air Conditioning Controller: Extends
condenser fan motor time to one full minute after
compressor turns off and reduces fan cycling.
Replaces out-dated horn and compressor relay with
modern relay control.
7th Product: LED Lighting: Improves visibility of the
Pantera to other drivers on the road. Brake lights
illuminate 0.200 seconds faster than light bulbs.
Frequently asked questions
(Q) Which Pantera Electronic product should I install
first?
(A) The ATO Fuse Panel is the distribution of electrical
power through out the car. The factory Fuse panel has
many design deficiencies and cannot be safely
repaired. Replace the fuse panel first.
(Q) What priority order of Pantera Electronic products
should I install?
(A) (1)ATO Fuse Panel, (2)Ignition Switch Controller,
(3)Headlight/Motor Controller, (4)Radiator Fan
Controller, (5)Console Switch Interface,
(6)Air Conditioner Controller
(Q) Is the temperature sensor for the RFC the same
as the temperature switches in the Fluidyne radiator?
(A) No, the temperature sensor included with the RFC
is not a temperature sensing switch.
You will need to purchase the Fluidyne radiator
adapter for the sensor.
(Q) Will I need 2 temperature sensors for the RFC to
replace both temperature switches in the Fluidyne
radiator?
(A) No. only the top sensor port is used on the
Fluidyne radiator, the other temperature switch can be
left in as a plug.
(Q) Are Pantera Electronics products compatible with
Bob Timma fuse panel and Rick Mosely relay kits?
(A) No, it is not recommend to install PE products with
“after-market kits”. “After-market kits” will require
removal before installing PE products. Many of our
customers find it worthwhile to remove the dated fixes
to up-grade to modern technology.
(Q) Are all Pantera Electronic products compatible
with each other?
(A) Yes, all Pantera Electroncis products are
compatible with each other ... some PE installation
manuals specify connections if multiple products are
installed.
(Q) Do I need an Electronic Flasher if I just have LED
tail lights?
(A) Yes, The factory flasher may flash too fast to allow
the LEDs to completely scroll across the taillight lens.
