This chart gives all the parameters.
Note that this data is for the earlier 3-speed fan system. The later 2-speed does similar things.

Hi if I am reading the table right the fan should stay on for ten min above 115c. I have one of the ezze temp gauges and started beeping at 111c the fan stated brought the temp down to 97c. I switch off the engine and fan does not stay on.
