    CSA/ETL – Canadian Standard Association/Electric Testing Laboratory CE – Certificate of European conformity Exhaust Air – The air leaving the evaporator or condenser section of the Wine Guardian unit. Evaporator (Cooling) Section / Coil – The Evaporator Section uses the cooling coil and the fan to remove heat from the air inside the wine cellar to the refrigerant, cooling the air and condensing moisture out of the air.
  • Page 5: Receiving, Inspecting And Unpacking The Wine Guardian System

    NOTE: Wine Guardian systems are factory assembled and tested prior to shipment. Wine Guardian systems are shipped individually in corrugated boxes specially designed to protect the equipment during shipment.  Before opening the container, inspect the packing crates or boxes for obvious signs of damage or mishandling.
  • Page 6: General Description

    NEC (National Electrical Code). All 50Hz Wine Guardian equipment is CE certified. Each system is factory installed with a sealed, UL-approved power cord and plug that can be mounted on either end of the cooling system. Wine Guardian products are made in the USA.
  • Page 7: Wine Guardian Controls

    (See pg. 8 for description of control boards and optional sensors). The Wine Guardian’s digital electronic controls are designed to control the operation of the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and optional humidifier. There also is pressure switch monitoring with a dry contact alarm output that will energize in the event of a pressure switch fault or a high/low temperature or humidity alarm.

     Auxiliary drain port connection at condenser end of unit All exterior framing of the Wine Guardian is powder coated, 0.063" gauge aluminum to prevent rust and corrosion. All coils are aluminum tubes with aluminum fins. The system uses an internal drain system to remove excess moisture and does not reintroduce it back into the cellar.
  • Page 10: Accessories And Optional Equipment

    The electric heat option includes an integral electric heating element, thermal overload protection device and controls. The Wine Guardian will either cool or heat the air, but it is not designed to do both at the same time. The Wine Guardian electric heat option must be specified at time of...
  • Page 11: Humidity Option

    Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensor Serving Temperature Option The factory configured serving-temperature option allows a Wine Guardian unit to control to an extended temperature range from 42° F to 64° F (5°C - 18°C). Perfect for single to multiple cabinet applications and small wine rooms in which consumption-temperature cooling is preferred.

  • Page 19: Lockout/Tagout Procedure

    Exposure to safety hazards is limited to maintenance personnel working in and around the system. When performing maintenance, always use the Lockout/Tagout procedure, which is described in this chapter. Observe the maintenance safety guidelines in the Wine Guardian manual. IMPORTANT The equipment described in this manual uses electricity.
  • Page 20: Moving Parts Hazards

    Rotating Fan Blades are present in the Wine Guardian system. Sticking a hand into an exposed fan while under power could result in serious injury. Be sure to use the Lockout/Tagout procedure when working in this area or remove the power cord.
  • Page 21  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at the outlet plug, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits the system.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  Always operate this equipment from a 120Vac, 1 phase 60Hz power sources only. For 50Hz equipment 220/240Vac, 1 phase 50Hz power sources only.

  • Page 24: Performing A Pre-Installation Check

     Is the cellar built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers? Locating the System Wine Guardian systems are typically installed at the user’s eye level for ease of operation. The Through-the-Wall system discharges warm air from its condenser end so this should be considered when determining the location for the system.
  • Page 25 You must then move the red voltage switch in the opposite direction to move the internal power from the condenser side to the wine cellar side. See the steps below for relocating the power cord. Relocating the power cord 1. Remove Face Plates from both ends of unit by removing two screws at the base of each cover.
  • Page 26 5. Disconnect the black and white wires from the power control switch at the back of the bracket as shown. 6. Cut and strip the Black, White and Green wires at the end of the power cord. 7. At the evaporator side (wine room side) of the unit feed the Black, White and Green wires from the power cord up through the hole in the bottom of the bracket until...
  • Page 27: Grilles

    IMPORTANT The Installation Sleeve must be installed level within the wall opening to provide proper operation of the Wine Guardian system. Failure to do so may result in improper drainage, excessive ware, vibration and noise. CAUTION RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT Flange side of the sleeve must be mounted on side of wall you intend to have the WG flush mounted.
  • Page 28: Installing The Condensate Overflow

    Installing the Condensate Overflow Condensate generation is a natural by-product of air conditioning systems. The Wine Guardian cooling coils are designed with the understanding that optimal wine cellar humidity levels are between 55% RH and 60% RH. If the vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excessive moisture is in the basement or surrounding areas, then the cooling coil may generate excessive amounts of moisture.
