Any decent test is going to (or damn sure *should*  measure EWP voltage along
with everything else.  If it hovers around 12 - 13 V, it could reasonably be 
run
wide open.  Lower than that and you are overcooling or at least over pumping 
if
you don't have a controller.  That said, I would insist on a position switch
(OFF, ON, Controlled ON) so one could bypass the controller.
Just a theory .... Jim S.
