NOTES: Minimum/maximum limits are only for start-up conditions, and are meant
for bringing the space up to occupancy temperature. Units are not designed to
operate at the minimum/maximum conditions on a regular basis. The operating
limits are dependent upon three primary factors: 1) water temperature, 2) return
air temperature, and 3) ambient temperature. When any of the factors are at the
minimum or maximum levels, the other two factors must be at the normal level for
proper and reliable unit operation.
