Question Coolant temperature sensor

Can anybody tell me at what temperature the coolant temperature sensor will tell the EEC the engine is warmed up, thus going to normal fuel mixture & timing?

It looks like a variable resistor type sensor, from the wiring diagram. Does anybody know if the resistance goes up as the temperature goes up, or down as the temp goes up?

Thanks guys!
