QUICK CONTROLLER REFERENCE GUIDE Standard Controller Layout - XR70CX If your unit is installed through the wall and does not have a remote keypad you will have the Xr70CX Controller Note: The 1 or 3-5 qualifies the amount of time in seconds that the button must be pushed to activate the feature.
Your fan speed selection will depend on the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the cellar, as well as the application of the unit (Thru the Wall Installation or Ducted). If the unit is going to be ducted you would need to use the highest fan speed (The higher fan speed is designed to support the reduction in airflow created by the ductwork) For the thru the wall application, the fan speed selection will depend on the cellar size, insula- tion factor, door seal and desired wine temperature.
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL Extreme Series cooling unit. We strive to provide the highest quality prod- ucts and the best possible customer service. If you have any questions about your WhisperKOOL unit, please call us at 1(800) 343-9463.
Connection “T” (1) Please leave the WhisperKOOL unit in its original box until you are ready for installation. This will allow you to move the product safely without damaging it. When you are ready to remove the product from the box, refer to page 15 for installation instructions.
WhisperKOOL unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line. 4. For your convenience, the Whisperkool unit has two power inlets, one on the side of the unit and the other on the back. Use the selector switch, located on the right side of the unit, to select the inlet you would like to use.
PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your WhisperKOOL unit are contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your WhisperKOOL unit may cause unit fail- ure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects.
As the room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the WhisperKOOL high in the room will create a consistently cool environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air.

However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service to obtain a specially designed ducting accessory kit for the unit. Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.
5000ti/tiR 1000 med 5000ti/tiR 1000 low Cutting the Hole for the WhisperKOOL Unit Tools Needed Hammer Locate the desired installation location. Using a stud finder, locate the studs on either side of the center point, and mark them with vertical lines.
Page 14
Sheetrock alone cannot support the weight of a 96-pound (or more) cooling system. Therefore, it is necessary to frame the hole that you have just cut with upper and lower supports. Using two 2x4s at 14.5” in length and eight 6d nails, secure the upper and lower supports to the right and left studs, just inside the sheetrock.
Plug your WhisperKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. As with any sensitive electrical equip- ment, the WhisperKOOL electrical equipment may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are not covered in the WhisperKOOL Extreme warranty.
This foam creates a tight seal between the flange and the wall. Page 16 #2. Retrofit your current WhisperKOOL cooling unit Back of unit Front of unit PT-EXPL5000 060311...
The screws should penetrate the studs as well as the upper and lower supports to provide adequate support for the WhisperKOOL system (see illustration). Seal all cracks and gaps around the WhisperKOOL Extreme unit with an air-tight sealant or caulking to prevent air leakage.

Condensation Drain Line Tube The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems associated with excess condensation.
• For a non-flush installation (i.e. holes location #2 WhisperKOOL retrofit or #1 Middle Wall or #3), place the grille on the condenser end and line up the holes on the grille with the holes on unit location #4. Use the 8 self tapping screws provided to fasten the grille to the unit.
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM The WhisperKOOL Series cooling units come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat system. This system incorporates the following advantages: 1. Self-Calibrating Probe: The probe contains a sensor chip, which actually communicates back and forth to the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. Do not remove the tip from the probe! 2.
REMOTE CONTROLLER: INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION The WhisperKOOL Extreme Series can be configured with a remote controller system. If you have a unit with a remote controller, please review this section. The controller can be installed up to 50 feet away from the cooling unit, or up to 300 feet away with the extend- ed connection wire.

MULTI SPEED CONTROL Designed for wine cellars from up to 1000 cubic feet, the Extreme 5000ti features multi-speed fans with a “high” setting for maximum performance in high-temperature (+110°F) environments and a “low” setting for super- quiet operation. Fan Speed Selector Switch (Low/Med/High): The cooling unit fans operate on 3 speed settings: Low, Medium, and High.
Standard and Remote Controllers Initial Start-Up When power is applied to the unit, the control will briefly display all symbols, and the Compressor sym- bol will be displayed (if unit is calling for cooling). There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator and condenser fans turning on, as the fans will not turn on until the sensors reach their perspective start tempera- tures (below 120°F for the evaporator and condenser).
