Bob,  Is that something new?  I don't know of anything  that uses more than 
a 195 thermostat and they generally run close to  that.  The hottest fan 
switch I've seen is 230 and that seemed way too  hot.

max temp  may run that high, but I bet that most of them stay a lot 
closer to  thermostat opening temp most of the time - 190-200.
