Page 8: Humidifier And Humidistat
The LAO will protect the compressor and refrigerant system. It has two distinct components; a crankcase heater to keep the oil in the compressor warm and prevent slugging on start-up, and a head pressure control to automatically cycle the condenser fan on and off to maintain system head pressure. -
Page 9: Overview Of The Cellarmate Unit
Overview of the CellarMate Unit Cabinet The cabinet and access doors are constructed of aluminum with a powder coated finish for corrosion protection and an attractive, maintenance-free appearance. Areas in contact with cold temperatures are lined with insulation to prevent condensation. Condensing Section Ambient air is circulated through the condenser section by a blower. - Page 10 Grilles: Additional grilles are available. Medium grilles are used for top or side ports; large grilles are used for end ports. See unit dimensions on Page 21. Duct collars: Duct collars are available.

WARNING Do not clamp the tie straps around the outside insulation— Over time, insulation will compress and loosen. • Secure the duct collar panel to the unit using the screws set aside. WARNING Non-insulated ducts and surfaces can cause exposed metal surfaces to sweat, further degradation of the insulation, and a loss of equipment cooling capacity. -
Page 22: Start Up And Operation
Start Up and Operation • Check all ductwork and electrical connections to confirm they are secure. • Replace all panels that were removed during installation. • Make sure that all openings on the unit are covered with either a panel, ductwork collar, or a grille. -
Page 23: Setting The Thermostat
Setting the Thermostat Normal settings are between 54 and 58°F. If the unit is equipped with an optional heating coil, enter a separate temperature setting to maintain the lower setting. To prevent the unit from short cycling, the setting between heating and cooling cannot be closer than 2°F. The built-in delay timer (20 minutes) will prevent the unit from switching from heating to cooling too fast. -
Page 24: Maintenance
Maintenance General Maintenance WARNING Before performing maintenance on the unit, read the safety information contained within the safety chapter of the CellarMate Manual. High voltages are present in the cabinets. Turn all power OFF. Use the Lockout/Tagout procedure before opening panels. Maintenance on CellarMate units requires working with high voltage and sheet metal with sharp edges. -
Page 25: Maintenance Schedule
