    Guardian fan coil and condensing unit. These ship from separate manufacturing facilities and therefore may not arrive on the same date and time. Each Wine Guardian component is shipped in a corrugated box. A shipment may include one or more boxes containing accessories.
  • Page 8: General Description

    Wine Guardian uses digital electronic controls and R-134a refrigerant. The entire Wine Guardian fan coil section is tested at the factory and the condensing unit is shipped separately. All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire system is approved by ETL according to UL 1995 and CSA safety standards.
  • Page 9: Wine Guardian Fan Coil Unit

    The Wine Guardian fan coil section operates as air passes through the cooling coil and is cooled by the refrigerant inside the coil. This causes any excess humidity in the air to condense and be captured in the drain pan and piped outside the unit.
  • Page 10: Accessories And Optional Equipment

    Duct Collars and Flexible Ducts Ducting for the Wine Guardian 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 wine cellar layout and application.

    NOTE: Review Fig. 1 through Fig. 4 on the following pages before mounting the unit Floor Mounting Mount the Wine Guardian fan coil on a plywood surface at least 12 inches above the floor to keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.
  • Page 26: Ceiling Mounting

    Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the unit on when hanging it from the ceiling joists. The Wine Guardian is NOT designed to be suspended from the top of the unit; it must be supported from the bottom. Angle brackets are available as an option for these types of applications.

     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 using the duct collars provided with the duct accessory kit.
  • Page 30: Installing The Condensate Drain Connection

    Empty the bucket periodically. The Wine Guardian unit is 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. Do not create secondary traps in the external drainline.
  • Page 31: Wiring The Fan Coil Unit For Power

    The electrical outlet and wiring installation must meet the national and local building codes.  Match the electrical wiring to the cord provided on the Wine Guardian.   Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system.  Match the wiring and breaker size to the rated load as shown on the serial plate and in this guide.
  • Page 32: Installing The Condensing Unit

    Installing the Condensing Unit  Condensing units are factory assembled with a sheet metal outdoor hood for protection from the elements.  A minimum of 12 inches is required around the perimeter of the condensing unit for proper airflow across the coil, and to provide an adequate discharge airflow path through the louver section.

    Leak Checking and Evacuation Process WARNING ALL COMPONENTS CHARGED WITH DRY AIR MUST BE EVACULATED BEFORE CHARGING WITH REFRIGERANT  Purge the dry air charge from the unit by opening the liquid line shut-off valve or removing the liquid line outlet fitting or plug, whichever is applicable for your particular unit.
  • Page 36: Refrigerant Charging

    Refrigerant Charging NOTE: The SS025, SS050, SS088 systems utilize a Headmaster control valve to control head pressure at low ambient applications, therefore require a specific initial charging procedure as outlined below. The SS200 system does not use this method of low ambient control (utilizes fan cycling), but can accept initial charge into the liquid receiver port the same way and the system has the same capacity.
