Use a surge protector with the unit.
WARNING Be sure to build your wine cellar to be well insulated and to have a well sealed vapor barrier. The quality of insulation and seal of your build will be a factor in maintaining the ideal temperature and humidity of your wine cellar. It will also determine how often your unit will have to run.
SYSTEM WIRING AND CONNECTIONS ITEMS TO ROUTE BEFORE INSTALLING THE EVAPORATOR Route the line set from the condensing unit to the desired evaporator installation location. Route the keypad cable from the desired keypad location to the evaporator installation location (see page 15 for more keypad information).
MOUNTING THE EVAPORATOR UNIT Minimum Tools Needed: T-Square Drill Level 5/16” nut driver bit 1/4” nut driver bit INSTALLING THE EVAPORATOR CPVC Tube Cutter Locate the desired installation location. Place the external drip tray on a leveled surface. Place a vibration isolator on each end of three of the drip tray risers, the vibration isolator needs to be pushed up against the outer lip on the top of the risers.
INSTALLING THE EVAPORATOR UNIT CONNECTING THE EVAPORATOR UNIT Unscrew and remove the top, rear and side access Pressurize the system to 200 PSIG for 30 minutes to panels. verity the system is sealed. 10. Once complete, insulate the suction line using Armaflex or similar insulation.
DRAIN LINE Condensation Drain Line A condensation drain line is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected. Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit. Drain Line The Quantum evaporator accommodates standard 3/4”...
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM The WhisperKOOL Series cooling units come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat. This incorporates the following advantages: Self-Calibrating Bottle Probe The bottle probe contains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy.
REMOTE KEYPAD: INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION Note: A 50ft communication cable is included and the keypad can be installed up to 300 feet away from the evaporator unit. Longer lengths can be ordered by calling 1-800-343-9463 ext. 751. Route the communication cable from the evaporator unit to the desired keypad location. Remove the wall mount bracket from the display housing.

PREPARING THE CONDENSING UNIT Electrical Needs The SS12000 Condensing Unit requires a dedicated 230V single phase, 20 amp circuit. The SS9000 Condensing Unit comes with a plug for a Tandem 230/208V, 15 amp receptacle. The unit draws a large inrush current for about 1 second, the instant the compressor starts. With a dedicated circuit and circuit breaker, the Condensing Unit will have sufficient power for effective operation.
>10ft Horizontal Tubing 5/8” 7/8” 7/8” Quantum SS9000 & SS12000 Vertical Rise 5/8” The refrigerant drier and the sight glass shall be installed (in that order) in the direction of the refrigerant flow in the liquid line between the Condensing Unit and Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). Enclose the suction line in a cellular insulation ½” wall thickness Armaflex (brand name) or equivalent to reduce heat transfer and prevent the suction line from sweating.
LINE SET PIPING DIAGRAMS These are 2 options for running Option 1 the line set from the coil to the Condensing Unit. Option 1 is specifically for when the system is installed with the Condensing Unit below or leveled to the coil. Option 2 is for when the system is installed with the Condensing Unit at a higher elevation than...
INSTALLING THE CONDENSING UNIT Refrigerant Piping Procedure When installing/routing the line set, cap both ends of each tube to prevent material or debris from entering the tubing. Prior to connecting the piping, loosely connect the refrigerant gauges to the service ports of the suction and liquid line service valves.
