saturation temperature is -195.8°C (-320.4°F,
77.4 K). This value is accurate for altitudes ranging from sea
level to 500 feet (152 m). For the appropriate saturation
temperature, refer to table

Level Setpoints and Alarms
The auto fill settings can be adjusted in the Liquid Level
Menus. With auto fill enabled, the Controller will initiate an
auto fill when the level is at or below the Low Level Setpoint
and terminate a fill when the level reaches the High Level
Setpoint. If the level is at or below the Low Level Alarm or at or
above the High Level Alarm, the Controller will initiate that
respective alarm.
Note:
There must be a minimum of 0.5 inches between each
of setpoint and alarm. For example, if the Low Level Alarm is
set to be 4.0 inches, then the Low Level Setpoint would have
to be set at least 4.5 inches. The Low Level Alarm can be set
to a minimum value of 3.0 inches and the High Level Alarm
can be set to a maximum value of 48.0 inches.
Note:
Security Level 2 or higher is required to adjust the
Liquid Level Settings.
