Mounting the Unit

CAUTION
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Check supporting structure for load bearing capacity to support the Wine Guardian PRO.
All supports must be designed to meet applicable local codes and ordinances.
If in doubt, consult a qualified architect, engineer or contractor.
NOTE: Review the mounting illustrations on page 43 before mounting the unit.

Floor Mounting

Mount the Wine Guardian PRO on the floor but elevate it on a frame with a plywood surface to
keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.

Wall Mounting

If the unit is mounted on a wall, construct a structurally sound, level platform that is adequately
anchored to wall studs or wall system being used. The shelf should be of sufficient size and
strength to support the full length and width of the Wine Guardian PRO. Use floor or knee braces
to transfer the load of the unit to the wall.

Ceiling Mounting

Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the unit on when hanging it from the ceiling
joists. The Wine Guardian PRO systems are NOT designed to be suspended from the top of the
unit; it must be supported from the bottom. Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is
supported on all for corners. Leave adequate space on the top of the unit to remove the access
doors for service.
In all cases the unit must be level to within plus or minus one-quarter inch end-to-end and plus or
minus one-eighth inch side-to-side for proper operation. Locate the unit as close to the cellar or
room as possible to reduce the length of the duct runs. If possible, use short and straight ducting on
all ductwork. The addition of quarter-inch thick rubber pads helps prevent the transmission of
vibration and noise.

Installing the Condensate Drain Connection

The Wine Guardian PRO systems provide dehumidification for the inside of the wine cellar or
storage/preservation room. It cools the air down to the dew point corresponding to the temperature
set point of the thermostat. If the vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excess
moisture is in the basement, the unit has to remove excessive amounts of moisture from the cellar or
room. The moisture appears in the condensate drain of the unit.
