Default Motor temperature settings in Curtis 1238

I am setting up a secondary cooling system for my AC20 motor which is controlled with a Curtis 1238-7501. I am interested in having the cooling system come on well below the setpoints in the controller where it starts to limit power to the motor to prevent overheating. Does anyone know the typical "MotorTemp_Hot" and "MotorTemp_Max" parameter settings for the 1238 when using the AC20 motor?

Since I'll be using a sensor mounted to the external surface of the motor, I'll probably set the cooling system to come on 50 - 60 deg C lower than the MotorTemp_Hot setting and may also set up a two temperature setpoints that change the rate of cooling.
