The first sentance of the warning is the clue. It says the standard ratings calculation is not at the AHRI test condition due to curve out of bound. The standard ratings calculation looks at each of the performance curve objects min/max limit (Minimum/Maximum Value of x or y). If these limits exceed the values required for the calculations, this warning is printed. So this warning directly relates to the performance curves. Look at each curves limits and compare to the values shown below.

The Minimum Value of y in your performance curve is 23.88889 C while the F1 test requires 19.44 C. I assume this is the trigger for the warning.
