Default Temp control fan hook up ? Not the norm!

I am adding my S/C and would like to hook up the fans a little different then the norm.

I have the Compressor and Condenser Fan wired with two separate relays that turns on when I hit the air switch.

I would like to have the option of having both condenser fan and four 8 inch fans turn on when it reaches 180 Degrees. I have a Temperature relay device but not sure how to wire this with out one affecting the other. I hate to put a toggle switch on when in traffic with out my A/C on but in Florida need the front condenser fan to operate simultaneously.

This is what diodes are for. A few isolation diodes will do the trick. They allow current to flow in one direction only.

Im not sure i understand the question, but you can wire both fans in parallel with the relays in parallel as well, so one cant "effect" the other. the relay or both relays, can be activated by the temp sensor, or a switch, like the AC switch.

This way, you can have the condenser fan turn on and the 4 cooling fans both turn on independant of of the AC, activated by the temp switch. when the ac is turned on , that relay closes, but the fans already are on, so you just have one more wire feeding the voltage. (like having double gauge wire to the fan). also, if the AC goes on and the temps are low, it just turns on independent of the 4 cooling fans.

Am i getting the question right?
