    Wall Mounting - If the Evaporator is to be surface mounted on the wall, adequately support it on both sides of the wall. Use floor or knee braces to transfer the load of the unit to the floor or wall. Ceiling Mounting - Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the Evaporator on when hanging it from the ceiling joists.
  • Page 24 Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the wine cellar. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling losses, to prevent sweating, and to reduce noise. Use ductwork on the condenser section to redirect or absorb sound, to bring in outside air to the unit inlet, and/or to exhaust the hot air out of the ambient space.

  • Page 25: Duct Collar And Panel Adjustment

    Duct Collar and Panel Adjustment To replace or adjust the locations of the panels and Supply Collar please see the instructions below: 1. Determine which panel needs to be replaced (Fig 1). 2. Use a flat blade screwdriver, coin, or other suitable tool at the captive fastener (Fig 2).

  • Page 26: Drain Line

    Drain Line Splice the drain line onto the drain outlet with a short piece of ½” copper tubing and secure the drain line to the unit with a hose clamp. The drain line’s interior diameter should be ½” (12.7mm). The drain line must extend from the unit to an open floor drain or condensate pump.

  • Page 27: Installing The Condensing Unit

    Do NOT modify the plugs in any way. Do NOT use extension cords. Depending on the model, the electrical power supply must be either 115-volt or 230-volt AC, 1 phase, 60 cycle, and the electrical power cannot vary more than ±4% or damage may occur to the unit.

    issues related to oil management that can impair performance and jeopardize the compressor’s lubrication. • Provide a ½” (12.7mm) pitch in suction and liquid line toward the condensing unit for every 10 ft (3 meters) of run to prevent any refrigerant that condenses in the suction line from flowing to the compressor when the unit is off.

  • Page 29: Sample Line Set Configurations

    Sample line Set Configurations Leak Checking and Evacuation Process • Pressurize and leak test the interconnecting lines, including the fan coil unit, fittings, and brazed joints using the intended operating refrigerant, nitrogen, or dry air for leak testing. A pressure equal to the low-side test pressure marked on the unit nameplate is recommended for leak testing.

    • The condensing unit needs to be hardwired. To bring the rated high voltage to the factory-installed contactor in the chassis cabinet to line side (L1 & L3) of the contactor. Use table 1 to identify the minimum recommended AWG, USE COPPER WIRE ONLY.

  • Page 32: Additional Remote Interface

    In most applications, the remote interface controller will be mounted within the wine cellar. The remote interface controller can also be mounted directly outside the wine cellar or in any other room of the home or building. When mounted outside the wine cellar, a remote sensor kit or a second wireless remote interface must be purchased and installed within the wine cellar.

  • Page 33: Mounting The Remote Interface Controller (Wired)

    Mounting the Remote Interface Controller (Wired) 1. Remove the comm cable from the zip lock bag and attach it to the side of the Wine Guardian unit (Fig. 1). a. Route the communication cable within the wall and/or ceiling structure of the wine cellar to the desired controller mounting location.

  • Page 34: Mounting The Remote Interface Controller (Wireless)

    Mounting the Remote Interface Controller (Wireless) 1. Plan on mounting the remote interface controller on a solid surface away from doors, corners, air outlets, drafts or heat generating equipment. Do not mount the remote interface controller directly on an outside wall, a wall adjacent to a boiler room, or other hot area.

  • Page 35: Installation Of The Wine Guardian Remote Sensor

    Installation of the Wine Guardian Remote Sensor The wireless remote sensor is a combination temperature and humidity sensor only. It is designed to be mounted within the wine cellar and can be used in combination with the remote interface controller or up to two additional remote sensors to read and control multiple areas within the wine cellar.
  • Page 36 Plug in the communication cable to the remote sensor and mount the Remote Sensor to the wall. (Fig. 3) Reattach the sensor’s faceplate (Fig. 4) If multiple sensors are being used either connect each Sensor to each other in series using RJ9 cable or purchase a RJ9 Splitter (Fig.

  • Page 37: Mounting The Remote Sensor (Wireless)

    Mounting the Remote Sensor (Wireless) 1. Disconnect the controller wire from the side of Wine Guardian unit and save for future use. 2. Plan on mounting the remote sensor on a solid surface away from doors, corners, air outlets, drafts or heat generating equipment.

  • Page 38: Remote Sensor Pairing - Multiple Sensors (Wireless)

    Remote Sensor Pairing – Multiple Sensors (Wireless) If using multiple remote temperature/humidity sensors in your application, refer to the figures and the procedure below to change each remote sensor’s device number (Three Remote Sensors maximum). Each Remote Sensor must have its own device number and must also be on the same RF channel (Setting 31) as the system they are being paired with.

  • Page 48: Start-Up

    Start-Up Prior to charging the system and start-up ensure the system has been powered for at least 24 hours. This is required so the compressor’s crankcase heater has ample time to warm the system to avoid premature failure. Then proceed to charging the system. Refrigerant Charging Note: Models DS, and WGS utilize a Headmaster control valve to control head pressure at low ambient applications, therefore require a specific initial charging procedure as...
  • Page 49 Charging of Systems with Head Pressure Control in temperatures below 70°F (21°C) (After normal evacuation procedures): 1. You must power the condensing unit for up to 24hrs prior to charging the system to allow the system to energize. This will allow the compressor’s oil crankcase to warm.
  • Page 50 If you are not sure how to measure superheat or sub-cooling: Superheat • Get an accurate suction line temperature on the suction line as close to the compressor inlet as possible. At the same time, attach a compound pressure gauge set to the system to read the low-side suction pressure at the suction service valve port (back seated valve stem to allow unrestricted refrigerant flow from evaporator back to the compressor).
  • Page 51 total length. At .50oz/foot & .0465kg/meter adjustment, that equals a decrease in total system charge from factory baseline of 5oz /.142kg. Now a total system charge of 53oz/1.498kg. You then can subtract the initial factory charge of 16oz/.453kg from this new total, and that is the amount you ADD to the system upon start-up.

  • Page 52: Final Start-Up
