I had this question for module 7, the good old airbus (A300/310) MM's say the temp should be set above (100C) the heat shrink temp. Hope this helps

How's this for blind guess theory:
Set below and you'll never shrink it.
Set at shrink value and you'll be there all day if the heat gets absorbed by the conductor or blown away when someone leaves the hangar doors open.
Set above and it's got to shrink.
Good luck with the exam.
