CSA/ETL – Canadian Standard Association/Electric Testing Laboratory Exhaust Air – The air leaving the evaporator or condenser section of the Wine Guardian PRO unit. Evaporator (Cooling) Section / Coil – The Evaporator Section uses the cooling coil and the fan to remove heat from the air inside the cellar or room to the refrigerant, cooling the air and condensing moisture out of the air.

Receiving, Inspecting and Unpacking the Wine Guardian PRO Ducted Systems Receiving and Inspecting the Unit NOTE: Wine Guardian PRO units are factory assembled and tested prior to shipment. Wine Guardian PRO units are shipped in individual corrugated boxes. ✓ Lift at the designated handhold locations only or fully support from underneath. A shipment may include one or more boxes containing accessories.
Each section contains a coil to add or remove heat and a fan to move the air through the coil and into or out of the cellar or adjacent space. The Wine Guardian PRO units are designed to be used as a remotely mounted unit with external ductwork connections.
✓ 24 volt control connection for use with today’s smart thermostats The Wine Guardian PRO meets or exceeds its rated capacities for total BTU/H and CFM at design cellar conditions and external static pressures. Both the evaporator and condenser fans are capable of rated CFM against the external static pressure imposed by recommended ductwork.
Duct Collars and Flexible Ducts Ducting for the Wine Guardian PRO is sold in kits by size for each unit. Each kit contains two adapter collars, one 25-foot length of round flexible duct and two straps. The number of duct kits needed depends on the layout.
Wine Guardian PRO without any additional electrical power wiring. It automatically adds moisture into the cellar by the evaporation of water over a distribution pad. The same Wine Guardian PRO thermostat controller supplied with the Wine Guardian PRO unit automatically controls humidity as well as temperature.

Safety Before installing or maintaining the Wine Guardian PRO unit do the following: 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. IMPORTANT The equipment described in this manual uses electricity. Be sure to follow the safety procedures outlined in the Wine Guardian PRO Manual.
RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT Improper installation may result in the equipment malfunctioning and a safety hazard. Read all of the installation instructions before installing the Wine Guardian PRO SERIES unit. Lockout/Tagout Procedure 1. Turn off the power switch (indicator light should be off) 2.
Rotating fan blades are present in the Wine Guardian PRO unit. 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.

Install in accordance with the instructions in the Wine Guardian PRO Manual. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
Installation WARNING SHARP EDGES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY SHARP EDGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE WINE GUARDIAN PRO SYSTEM Pre-installation Test Test the system before installing it to check for non-visible shipping damage. To test the system: ✓ Set the system on the floor or a sturdy level surface.

✓ Is enough space available around the unit for service and repair? Locating the Unit Wine Guardian PRO units are typically installed indoors located near the cellar or room to minimize the duct runs. Each unit is provided with one entering or return air inlet and three possible supply air outlets for each of the evaporator and condenser sections.
Installing the Unit Outdoors The Wine Guardian PRO is NOT designed nor approved for direct outdoor installation. If it is located outdoors, it MUST be protected with a rain-proof enclosure. ✓ Mount it above the ground on a solid, waterproof base to protect the unit from ground water.
NOTE: Review the mounting illustrations on page 43 before mounting the unit. Floor Mounting Mount the Wine Guardian PRO on the floor but elevate it on a frame with a plywood surface to keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.
Empty the bucket periodically. The Wine Guardian PRO systems are 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.

Sample serial plate DP25 DO NOT: ✓ DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUGS IN ANY WAY! ✓ Do not use extension cords. IMPORTANT The electrical power supply must be either 115 volt or 230 volt AC, 1 phase, 60 cycle, depending on the model of the unit, and cannot vary more than plus or minus 4% or damage may occur to the unit.
Installing the Ductwork and Grilles Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the cellar or room. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling loses, 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.
✓ Check that all the fan blades move freely. ✓ Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths. ✓ Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian PRO using the duct collars that are provided with the duct accessory kit.
Typical Mounting Arrangements The following illustrations are suggested mounting arrangements. These illustrations are not intended to be complete and detailed installation drawings. For questions or help regarding installation contact the Wine Guardian distributor you purchased the unit from or email info@WineGuardian.com for assistance.
Inspection and Start-up Checklists Receiving and Inspecting Unit received undamaged Unit received complete as ordered including accessories Handling and Installing Unit mounted on solid level surface Sufficient space allowed for access to unit and accessories. Proper electrical service provided ...
Starting Up and Operating the Wine Guardian PRO Now that the installation is complete, it’s time to start the unit up. Check to make sure all ductwork and electrical connections are secure. Make sure the thermostat or controller being used is connected to the WG PRO unit at the terminal strip connections on the side of the unit.
Changing the Air Flow Direction The grilles furnished with Wine Guardian PRO are single directional. Rotate the grilles to change the direction of the air flow. When using multiple supply ductwork, balance the air flow between the ductwork. If too much air flows though one duct but not enough air flows from the other duct, install a damper or other restriction into the duct with too much air.
RISK OF SEROUS INJURY Sharp edges are present on the fan wheels, housing, fins and coils. Maintenance on Wine Guardian PRO units requires working with high voltage and sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance. Some tasks require knowledge of mechanical and electrical methods.
Cleaning the Filters The condenser coil is provided with a reusable, washable air filter. The filter protects the coil from becoming coated or plugged by dust. Frequency of cleaning the filters is based on the amount of dust or dirt generated in the cellar or basement. 1.
No additional maintenance is required for the heating coil. To test the heating coil operation, set the thermostat on HEAT and set the temperature above the cellar temperature. The supply air temperature should rise above the return air temperature by an amount shown in the specifications. Low Ambient The purpose of the low ambient feature is to protect the compressor and refrigerant system.
