Installing the Condensate Drain Connection

The Wine Guardian PRO Split System provides dehumidification for the inside of the wine room.
It cools the air down to the dew point corresponding to the temperature setpoint of the remote
interface controller. If the vapor barrier of the wine room is poorly constructed or excess moisture
is in the basement, the unit may remove excessive amounts of moisture from the wine room. The
moisture appears in the condensate drain of the unit.
NOTE: If moisture becomes excessive, install a room type dehumidifier to dehumidify
the basement so as to not overload your Wine Guardian PRO Split System.

Installing the Drain Line

 The drain line must extend from the unit to an external drain or disposal point.
Do not use drain tubing any smaller than one-half inch inside dimension on the
unit.
 Slide the clear plastic drain tube onto the barbed fitting at the fan-coil unit and
secure with a worm gear type clamp.
 If no drain is available, use a bucket. Do not extend the drain line below the rim of
the bucket. 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. Do not create secondary traps in the external drain line.
Allow enough height for the drain line to function properly. If draining into a nearby sink, the unit
must be elevated higher than the rim of the sink in order for the water to drain by gravity. Install
with a one-quarter inch per linear foot of pitch. Do not tie the condensate drain line directly into
the sanitary sewer system. See Accessories and Optional Equipment on page 6 for information
about the condensate pump.

Priming the Drain Trap

The internal drain trap primes itself automatically once the unit has run for a period of time and
after the unit cycles off. This can be confirmed by water dripping from the drain.
