Default ECT notification on traildash

Hey all,
Yesterday I installed the Superchips Traildash into my '07 rubicon. All is working awesome with one exception. My ECT (engine coolant temp) alarm is going off. The alarm goes off at 226deg. It went up to 239 and then started to come back down. I'm not sure if this is something that has been occurring with my jk for a while without me noticing (due to the lack of audible alarm) or if it is a reflection of the tuner install. Any advice would help. Fan is on and coolant level is good FYI.

I have mine set at 220 on bully dog programmer, it usually maxes at about 210. I'd say you're in the ballpark, but hopefully gives you an idea from someone elses point.

Yeah mine was set at 225. The temp seems to climb when going up even the slightest hill. It hit 245 yesterday. Any ideas?
