    50%-80%. The lower the cellar temperature, the slower the wine will age. A temperature that is too low will block its ageing. The Wine Square recommends a temperature setpoint of 14°C (57°F) with this device, which corresponds to both an aging temperature and a tasting temperature for most red wines.

  • Page 7: Description Of Components

    Description of Components The CUBE is a “split” cooling system made up of three components. It allows the noisy element (the compressor) to be placed at a distance from the wine cellar. 1- CUBE CONTROL BOX 2-CUBE WATER CHILLER 3-RC4LT DIFFUSER...
  • Page 8 CONTROL BOX The CUBE Control Box is the unit managing the system. Equipped with a high-resolution 7” touch screen, it allows the display and simple adjustment of the conditions of the wine cellar. It provides the electrical power and the chilled water to the RC4-LT module in the wine cellar by means of a network wire and two 1/2”...
  • Page 9 WATER CHILLER The CUBE Water Chiller provides the chilled water necessary for the proper functioning of the system. Italian designed, this small, robust and eco-friendly unit uses R290 as refrig- erant, a non-toxic gas with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and very low GWP (Global Warming Potential).
  • Page 10 RC4LT DIFFUSER The RC4LT is the cooling unit of the system positioned at the ceiling of the wine cellar. It pumps the heat in and carries it to the water cooler. It is equipped with a condensate pump to evacuate the condensation outside the wine cellar. The RC4LT must be installed horizontally at the highest point of the wine cellar.

  • Page 11: Minimum Requirements

    Minimum Requirements In order to ensure proper operation of the system as well as to maintain the warranty, it is important that the wine cellar is built according to the rules of the art. These requirements remain the same, regardless of the size of the wine cellar. GENERAL •...

  • Page 12: Location Selection

    Location Selection Before starting the installation of the system, it is important to select the location where the various components will be installed. Although air conditioning systems push cold air when they are in use, these devices work more to remove heat, colder air is only a result. The nu- ance seems small, but it is very important when evaluating the placement of the compo- nents of the air conditioning system.

  • Page 14 A Position RC4LT in the wine cellar. It is important to consider the thickness of the insula- tion, finishing material and glass envelope when locating the final location of the unit. Check that the clearance necessary for the correct operation of the unit is respected. Back Minimum Clearance Front (A)
  • Page 15 At the ceiling in the wine cellar, leave between 2” and 6” of tubing hanging from the ceil- B’ ing and install an elbow on each conduit. 2’’-6’’ [50-150] NOTE : It is preferable not to exit all the tubes at the same height to facilitate the connection of the system during its final installation.
  • Page 16 Install an RJ45 network wire with minimum 23AWG wires between the RC4LT and the control box location. Allow a minimum of 36” of wire to hang in the wine cellar and the length needed to connect to the right side of the control box. NOTE : It is more prudent at this stage to run a second RJ45 wire away from the first.

  • Page 17: Final Installation

    FINAL INSTALLATION This installation step must be carried out at the very end of the work when there is no lon- ger any dust production. Otherwise, dust could damage the device and reduce the cool- ing capacity of the system. In the event that construction steps are required following the installation of the system, please unplug the device before starting work.
  • Page 18 Install the radiator module on the support plate. Be careful not to trap the tubes when rotating the module. Secure the radiator in place with two # 8 flat head wood screws long enough to anchor into the nailing base.
  • Page 19 Connect the tubes previously installed in the walls with the radiator module. The tubes preinstalled on the radiator are connected directly to the PEX fittings without a crimp ring. The tube is therefore installed on the PEX tip as it will be on a barb fitting.
  • Page 20 Install the wooden box over the radiator. Before sliding the casing into place, find the joint on the wood veneer and orient that surface toward the back of the wine cellar. When putting the housing back in place, make sure the tubes are not kinked. Once the wood box is in place, turn the support fins to hold it in position.
  • Page 21 CONTROL BOX FINAL INSTALLATION At the desired location of the control box, install the mounting plate 60“ from the floor. 60’’ [1524] Using the two openings behind the control box, embed the unit on the two hooks of the support plate, previously installed on the wall.
  • Page 22 Secure the control box in place with a screw. The locking hole is located in the middle under the device. Install the power supply bracket under the unit on the right side of the unit. The bracket is in- stalled with two wood screws directly to the wall. Slide the control box power supply block into its bracket.
  • Page 23 Connect the power supply to the control box, the connector is located on the bottom of the device. Do not start the device at this step. Connect the communication cable (previously connected to the RC4LT) to the control box. The communication cable connects to the clos- est to the wall RJ45 outlet, identified by an icon showing three bottles of wine.
  • Page 24 WATER CHILLER FINAL INSTALLATION Take the water chiller out of its packaging and install the cover on top of the unit. The hood allows you to choose the direction of hot air exit. Orient the hot air out- let so that the heat emitted easily dissipates into the room. Place the water chiller on the floor under the control box.
  • Page 25 Make the hydraulic connection of the device accord- ing to the following diagram. Any of the two tubes coming from the RC4LT can be used for supply or return to the unit. They can be reversed without problem. The connections between the different units must be made with the pre-insulated tubes supplied with the device.

  • Page 26: System Start-Up

    System Start-Up Now that all of the components are connected together, the system can be put into opera- tion. In order to avoid damaging the appliance, it is important not to start the system if the wine cellar has not yet been completed (door missing, seal missing, etc.) or if work that can generate a lot of dust remains to be done (joint pulling, wood cutting ...).
  • Page 27 Turn the control box to “ON” by flipping the power button on the side of the device. CAUTION Do not start the water chiller at this point. Water must be put into the sys- tem before it is started. Fill the reservoir with distilled water until the reser- voir is full.
  • Page 28 Repeat step 5 a minimum of three times to make sure the system is full of water. You should be able to put a minimum of 3.8 liters (1 gal) of water in the system. Replace the two tank caps. Close the door and lock the front of the control box using a coin.
  • Page 29 Plug in the water chiller and start the unit by press- ing the power button for a minimum of 3 seconds. SECS The water chiller has a 2 minutes delay be- fore starting to protect the compressor. CAUTION The water chiller has been factory pre-set, do not change the temperature.

  • Page 30: Use

    The CUBELT is controlled by the system touch screen located on the front of the control box. When the screen has not been used for a while, the power to the display is turned off to prolong the life of the product as much as possible. Just touch the screen to restart the display.

  • Page 36: Maintenance

    Maintenance Cleaning the Water Chiller Filter The filter should be cleaned at least once a month or depending on the amount of dust present where the appliance is located. 1. Open the plastic grid of the upper part 2. Take out the filter 3.

  • Page 37: Add Water

    Add Water It is normal over time to add water to the reservoir. The water evaporates through the tubes much like wine does through the cork. However, the system should not lose more than a few milliliters per year. However, during the first filling, it is normal to have to add water after a few days. During fill- ing, micro-bubbles form on the internal walls of the radiator.
  • Page 38 Fill the tank with distilled water until the tank is full. It is normal for the pump to start and stop a few times during filling. A water level sensor inside the tank ensures that the pump stops in the event of a lack of water.

  • Page 39: Water Replacement

    Water Replacement Every 5 years, the water in the system must be replaced. To do this, the system must be completely drained and refilled. 1. Unplug the Water Chiller and the CUBE 2. Position a container under the control box 3.
