[EnergyPlus_Support] Disable a DX coil below "xx" temp



Dear Forum,
I'm unable so far to figure out how to disable a DX coil in cold weather.  The AvailabilityManager:LowTemperatureTurnOFF
seems to be the right tool for the job, but it's not doing anything the way I've configured it.
The short story is this:
*  I want the Heat Pump to be available on one schedule (with fan running)
*  and its DX coil to be UNavailable when the outdoor temp <12.8C
*  I've made a separate schedule which is always "1" called "SchCpct_LowTempClgOFF" and assigned that schedule to the DX coil

Shown below is what I've done so far.  Please let me know what I am missing!  (For the record, the IO Reference and example files aren't clear to me.  They seem to say that the manager affects a schedule, not a component)
