Installing the Condensate Overflow

Condensate generation is a natural by-product of air conditioning systems. The Wine Guardian

cooling coils are designed with the understanding that optimal wine cellar humidity levels are

between 55% RH and 70% RH. If the vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or

excessive moisture is in the basement or surrounding area then the cooling coil may generate

excessive amounts of moisture. The condensate will appear in the form of water at the cooling

coil drain pan and eventually will travel to the condensate removal system located below the

compressor. The Wine Guardian system features an auxiliary drainport connection located at the

condenser end of the system directly below the plastic face plate. In the event there is excessive

moisture we recommend connecting the drainport as indicated on the following page.



The drain line must extend from the system to an external drain or disposal

site. Do not use drain tubing any smaller than 6.35mm inside dimension on the

system.



If no floor drain is available, use a bucket. Do not extend the drain below the

rim of the bucket. Empty the bucket periodically.

Allow enough height for the drain line to function properly. If draining into a nearby sink, the

system must be elevated higher than the rim of the sink in order for the water to drain by

gravity. Install with a 6.35mm per linear foot of pitch. See Accessories and Optional Equipment

section for information about the condensate pump.

The internal drain trap primes itself automatically once the unit has run for a period of time and

after the system cycles off. This is confirmed by water dripping from the drain.
