I also added an inline temperature sensor and digital indication on the dash. It is installed in the feed line to the radiator hose from the engine. What I see is that the fan kicks on about 203° F and shuts off about 195°. That is all at 2 bars. I see 3 bars when temp gets up to about 220°. Max I have seen is 234° and at 4 bars. This indicator was added when the 2nd fan was installed. But, I drove the same trails a year later, and gathered these temperature and bar data points. But, the high temps were dramatically decreased with the new fan.
Could you please post links to the temp gauge and sensor you used? Thanks!

Tried measuring the diameter of tires. They are about 28" horizontally, but if you measure from ground to top, they are about 26", due to the weight of vehicle on them.
