  • Page 3: Introduction

    Your Wine Guardian Humidifier has a humidistat that gets wired to the terminal strip on the Wine Guardian unit and a drain line that requires piping to an open floor drain or condensate pump. Inspect all equipment for any sign of damage or loose parts caused during transit.

  • Page 4: General Description

    When the unit turns on, the water solenoid valve opens and the fan turns on. When mounted and connected to a Wine Guardian cooling unit, the humidistat also controls the main fan to circulate air to and from the cellar.

    Safety The Wine Guardian Humidifier uses only 24-volt power. However, that power comes from a transformer, which uses 120-volt power. Therefore, before servicing the humidifier, be sure to disconnect the main power to the cooling unit or to the humidifier.

  • Page 10: Free Standing Installation With Stand-Alone Model

    Free Standing Installation with Stand-Alone Model Figure 4.0 Stand-Alone Installation 1) Mount the face grille onto the humidifier box so that the separation plate slides in on top of the fan and between the insulation on the sides. The two metal tabs (top and bottom) should slide in between the insulation and the metal wall.
  • Page 11 NOTE: In all mounting arrangements make sure the humidifier is level and plumb in all directions. 3) Install a ¼”water line from the water supply into the opening on the top of the humidifier. Use flexible tubing to allow the unit to be rotated. A shut-off valve (not provided) is recommended to isolate the humidifier from the water system when needed.

  • Page 12: Wine Guardian-Mounted (Integrated Installation)

    The unit also comes with 5 feet of 3-wire, 24-volt power cable that connects to the terminal on the side strip of the Wine Guardian Unit. (See Step 3 next page.) If you need to remove the wires, please note the color-coding and replace the wires in the correct location.

    NOTE: The humidifier can only add moisture, not remove it. Removal, or dehumidification, is a function of the cooling system as it lowers the temperature of the air below its dew point at which moisture condenses out onto the cooling coil and into the condensate drain.
