Do any network wizards out there know anything about netflow V9 templates?

I am writing a netflow collector in .net, which has lots of interesting challenges including reading the RFC!

However, I need a specific piece of information  

Here is a link to a copy of the RFC:

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3954.txt


From this I read this excerpt:

The life of a template at the Collector is limited to a fixed refresh
   timeout.  Templates not refreshed from the Exporter within the
   timeout are expired at the Collector.  The Collector MUST NOT attempt
   to decode the Flow or Options Data Records with an expired Template.

I cannot find any default expiry timeframe for a netflow Flowset Template.  

It says it must be configurable at the exporter and the collector.  When I set up a PRTG to collect netflow packets, there was not an option to specify the template expiry.  I can't see any record in the RFC that the exported can use to tell the collector when to expire templates.  PRTG works though.  

Therefore there must be a reasonable default value for how long to keep an un-refreshed template before expiring it.  

My question is, what is the default timeframe to expire a template - OR - how else can the collector learn this from the exporter? (someone manually configuring it is not the answer I want)

There must be some way in which netflow collectors work out of the box without the user specifying the template expiry.  I need to do this.
