Planning the Installation
Addressing Items in the Planning Process
✓ Where to locate the unit? Should it be built into the wall or mounted remotely and
ducted into the cellar or room?
✓ How to mount the unit?
✓ Decide where to locate the supply and return grilles in the room to achieve the
temperature gradient and circulation preferred.
✓ Locate the electrical power outlet close to the unit, in cellar or out. Do not use an
extension cord!
✓ Does the condenser heat exhaust need to be ducted away?
✓ Where to locate the thermostat?
✓ Where to run the drain line?
✓ Are all the parts here to complete the installation?
Performing a Pre-installation Check
✓ Check for the proper installation of the electrical plug configuration.
✓ Check for the properly sized breaker.
✓ Is the cellar built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?
✓ Are ducts installed above the ceiling or in accessible places properly sized before
being covered?
✓ 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. A maximum cumulative total length for
both supply and return ducts (including bends) of 25 feet is recommended. If longer runs are needed
use more than one supply opening to reduce the airflow in each duct by one half. See Recom-
mended Flexible Ductwork Sizing Chart on page 43.
Provide a three-foot clearance around the unit for removal of grilles or ductwork, access to filters
and unit maintenance. If the humidifier is used, provide access space in front of it for service.
