    II. Installation Instructions Configuration Options The Air Handler comes in three basic configurations:  Horizontal configuration - which can be installed inside or outside the cellar. Additionally it can be installed through the wall with a portion of the unit in the cellar and outside the cellar.
  • Page 11 Vertical Configuration. Through wall: Vertical units cannot be mounted in a through wall configuration. Remote ducted: Vertical units can be mounted remotely with the evaporator intake and discharge air are ducted to the cellar. The condenser can be configured with grills to vent the air provided that the location is suitably ventilated, or with duct adapters for ducting the intake, discharge, or both to a suitably ventilated area.
  • Page 12 Split Configuration. Models in the Split Configuration can be mounted as follows, with interconnecting wiring and refrigerant piping field provided by an experienced Refrigeration contractor: Remote ducted: The unit is mounted remote to the cellar, and the evaporator module intake and discharge air are ducted to the cellar. The condenser can be provided with grills to vent the air, or duct adapters to duct the intake, discharge, or both.
  • Page 14 Condensate Drain Line – description and layout The Air Handler has been designed to minimize the amount of condensation created when cooling. The condensate that does form on the evaporator will gather in a tray and be channeled to the drain, through a small trap, and then out through the side of the unit where it exits via a barbed fitting.

  • Page 25 Humidifier (optional): Recommended for installations where the ambient humidity is insufficient to maintain 50 to 70%RH inside the cellar. The humidity control is remote mounted with 10ft of interconnecting wire inside the cellar. Refer to separate manual for detailed installation and operating instructions for the humidifier and humidity controller.
  • Page 26 Control Locations by Configuration Control Panel: Maintains desired cellar environment. Factory settings are optimized for peak performance. Controller is described in detail in the following section. Fan Speed Selector Switch (Low/Med/High): The fans on both the evaporator and condenser modules operate on 3 speed settings: Low, Medium, and High. For optimum sound and energy efficiency, select the lowest fan speed that will maintain the desired cellar temperature.
  • Page 27 Bottle Probe Jack (Bottle Probe): A bottle probe is required if the evaporator (cold side) is ducted. The bottle probe is designed to plug into the face of the cooling unit and terminate inside the cellar measuring either air or liquid. Disconnecting the probe will automatically return the control to air temperature.
