NOTE: Review Fig. 1 through Fig. 4 on the following pages before mounting the unit Floor Mounting Mount the Wine Guardian PRO Split System fan coil on a plywood surface at least 12 inches above the floor to keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.
The following illustrations are suggested mounting arrangements. These illustrations are not intended to be complete and detailed installation drawings. For questions or help regarding installation, contact a Wine Guardian PRO Split System distributor or email (info@wineguardian.com) a sketch of the proposed area where the unit is to be installed.
Installing the Ductwork and Grilles Duct Collars One inlet duct collar and one evaporator outlet are supplied with each fan coil unit as standard equipment from the factory. The duct collars are removable. The return air, or inlet duct collar must connect to the return air outlet from the wine room.
Check that all the fan blades move freely. Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths. Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian PRO Split System using the duct collars provided with the duct accessory kit.
Empty the bucket periodically. The Wine Guardian PRO Split System is provided with a built-in drain trap. The drain trap creates a water seal to prevent air from backing up into the drain pan and causing the drain pan to overflow.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH The electrical outlet and wiring installation must meet the national and local building codes. Match the electrical wiring to the cord provided on the Wine Guardian PRO Split System. Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system.
Installing the Condensing Unit • Condensing units are factory assembled with a sheet metal outdoor hood for protection from the elements. • A minimum of 12 inches is required around the perimeter of the condensing unit for proper airflow across the coil, and to provide an adequate discharge airflow path through the louver section.
