#kick_start_time: 0.100
# Time (in seconds) to run the fan at full speed when first enabling
# it (helps get the fan spinning). The default is 0.100 seconds.
+#off_below: 0.0
+# The minimum input speed which will power the fan (expressed as a
+# value from 0.0 to 1.0). When a speed lower than off_below is
+# requested the fan will instead be turned off. This setting may be
+# used to prevent fan stalls and to ensure kick starts are
+# effective. The default is 0.0.
+#
+# This setting should be recalibrated whenever max_power is adjusted.
+# To calibrate this setting, start with off_below set to 0.0 and the
+# fan spinning. Gradually lower the fan speed to determine the lowest
+# input speed which reliably drives the fan without stalls. Set
+# off_below to the duty cycle corresponding to this value (for
+# example, 12% -> 0.12) or slightly higher.
