Low Temp Monitor 

The control monitors the ambient temperature of the pump. If the temperature falls below a specified 
threshold, the pump begins cycling on and off to keep water from freezing in the pump. 

If the pump is not currently running, the pump switches on for 30 minutes at 30% of the rated speed 
of the motor. The pump then idles for 30 minutes. If at the end of 30 minutes the temperature is still 
below the low temperature threshold, the cycle repeats itself. By default, this feature is disabled.
