Installing The Drain Line; Priming The Drain Trap; Wiring The Unit For Power - Wine Guardian D050V Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Installing the Drain Line

✓
Drain tubing should have an inside diameter of half an inch.
✓ The drain line must extend from the unit to an external open floor drain or condensate pump
(an external trap is not required as Wine Guardian units are built with an internal trap).
✓ Splice the drain line onto the drain outlet with a short piece of half inch copper tubing and
secure the drain line to the unit with a hose clamp.
The Wine Guardian unit 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 section 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 is confirmed by water dripping from the drain.

Wiring the Unit for Power

DO:
✓ Match the electrical wiring to the cord provided on the Wine Guardian.
✓ Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system.
✓ Match the wiring and breaker size to the rated load as shown on the serial plate
and in this guide. See sample serial plate illustration on the following page.
