leaving loop temperature would be 25 to 22°F [-4 to -6°C]
and low temperature protection should be at 15°F [-10°C].
Calculation is as follows:
30°F - 15°F = 15°F [-1°C - 9°C = -10°C].
All alcohols should be premixed and pumped from a
reservoir outside of the building when possible or introduced
under the water level to prevent fumes. Calculate the total
volume of uid in the piping system using Table 1. Then use
the percentage by volume shown in Table 2 for the amount
of antifreeze needed. Antifreeze concentration should be
checked from a well mixed sample using a hydrometer to
measure specic gravity.
Low Water Temperature Cutout Setting - CXM Control
When antifreeze is selected, the FP1 jumper (JW3) should
be clipped to select the low temperature (antifreeze 10°F
[-12.2°C]) set point and avoid nuisance faults (see “Low Water
Temperature Cutout Selection” in this manual).
