 Placement

CellarPro 3200 and 4200 Series cooling units are designed to be installed THROUGH
THE WALL, so that the rear and the front of the cooling unit DO NOT SHARE THE SAME
AIR SPACE.

The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in a space that is at least as large as the
wine cellar unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted. Both the front and the
rear of the cooling unit require a minimum clearance of 8 inches.

These units also can be placed completely INSIDE or OUTSIDE the cellar when used
in combination with our duct kits.

 Ambient Environment

3200VSi / 4200VSi - designed for internal use only (ie sheltered from

outdoor weather), the rear of the unit can be exposed to temperature
conditions ranging from 40 to 115°F.

3200VSx / 4200VSx – designed for external use, the rear of the unit can be
exposed to temperature conditions ranging from 40 to 115°F. Refer to the
Installation section for additional requirements for outdoor exposures.

PLEASE NOTE: With our (optional) crankcase heater, all of our cooling units
can be used in environments down to 20°F, and with our (optional) low
ambient kit, all of our cooling units can be used in environments down to ­20°F.

CellarPro cooling units are
not designed to heat the
cellar space, so if
temperatures inside the
cellar drop below proper
wine storage temperatures,
the cooling unit cannot
create heat inside the cellar.

 Insulation

CellarPro cooling units are
designed to be installed
inside wine cellars that have
proper insulation, moisture
barriers and an airtight seal
from the environment

6 V9.14

outside the cellar. I n te r i o r wal l s and floor should have a minimum of
R-11 insulation, and a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation. The
ceiling should have a minimum of R-19 insulation and a vapor barrier on
the warm side of the insulation. Doors also should be insul ated and
tightly sealed with weather s tr i p p i n g a r o u n d t h e pe r ime t er of the
do o r. Surface-mounted fixtures are recomm e n ded over recessed
lighting, which can allow air to leak into the cellar.

It is important that all walls, joints, doors and windows, electrical outlets
and/or switches, pipes, vents and light fixtures be sealed to prevent air and
moisture from entering the cellar. If there is a leak in the cellar, the cooling unit
will build up excess condensation.

CellarPro 3200 and 4200 cooling units are equipped with a condensate
management system, which includes a stainless steel pan, a
thermostatically-controlled electric heating element, and an overflow drain
at the rear of the cooling unit.

We strongly recommend that the overflow drain line (shipped loose with the
cooling unit) be connected to the overflow drain (as shown in the
installation section), and that the cooling unit be mounted to tilt slightly
backwards, so that any overflow condensate is channeled safely to the
overflow drain line. In addition, we recommend turning on the electric
heating element to burn off excess condensate that accumulates in the
stainless steel pan during the initial cooling of the cellar and during high run­times, as well as in high-humidity environments.

 Fan Speeds

Your fan speed setting will need to be on “High” under the following
conditions:

- As the thermal load of the wine cellar increases

- As ambient temperatures increase

- As the static load from ducting (if any) increases due to factors

including the length of the duct run, turns, vent grills and/or reducers

 Ventilation

Adequate ventilation is critically important for the proper operation of your
CellarPro cooling unit.

OUTSIDE THE CELLAR
(At the rear of the cooling unit)

Condenser Air Exhaust. CellarPro 3200 and 4200 Series cooling units create

significant hot air which must be exhausted into an appropriately-sized

7 V9.14

space in order for the heat to dissipate. If the space is constrained

and/or too small, the heat will not dissipate. In this event, the cooling unit
will be forced to re-circulate its hot air exhaust and/or the static pressure will
back up the cooling unit. If this happens, the cooling unit’s ability to create
cold air inside the cellar will be compromised.

Condenser Air Intake. The condenser coils require access to cool air in order
for the cooling unit to produce cold air. In addition, the cooling unit must be
installed so that, after its installation, the condenser coils are accessible for
periodic cleaning or replacing of the filter.

The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in a space that is at least as large as the
wine cellar unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted. Both the front and the rear of
the cooling unit require a minimum clearance of 8 inches.

Ducting. CellarPro 3200 and 4200 units allow the condenser air intake and

exhaust each to be ducted up to 50 equivalent feet with 8” diameter
ducting, or 100 equivalent feet with our auxiliary fan and 8” diameter
ducting. We offer two rear duct kits (sold separately) that attach to the rear
of the cooling unit.

INSIDE THE CELLAR
(At the front of the cooling unit)

Evaporator Air Intake. CellarPro cooling units should be mounted at the

highest point inside wine cellars, so that warm air – which rises – will be the first
to pass over the evaporator coils, which are located behind the grill on the
face of the cooling unit. When the warm air passes across the evaporator
coils, heat is removed the air, and the resulting cold air is exhausted into the
cellar. To ensure proper airflow, minimum clearance of 12” is required in front
of the cooling unit.

Evaporator Air Exhaust. Cold air is exhausted at the top front of the cooling

unit. Because CellarPro cooling units are located at the highest point inside
wine cellars, the cold air exhaust eventually will drop to the bottom of the
cellar. To ensure proper airflow and reduce temperature stratification inside
the cellar, the space in front of the cold air discharge should be clear of any
obstructions, including wine bottles, wine racks, etc.

Ducting. CellarPro 3200 and 4200 units allow the evaporator air intake and
exhaust each to be ducted up to 50 equivalent feet with 8” diameter
ducting. We offer a front duct kit (sold separately) that attaches to the front
of the cooling unit.

We also offer a remote control panel kit that can be installed remotely (up
to 10 feet) from the cooling unit, either inside or outside the cellar, and a
bottle probe (10 foot cord) that can be plugged into the cooling unit.

8 V9.14

 Power Requirements

CellarPro cooling systems should be plugged into a dedicated non-GFI
outlet connected to a 15-amp circuit. The cooling unit uses approximately

11.5 (4200) and 9.2 (3200) amps during its “on” cycle.

A number of variables, including the minimum set point, the temperature
in the ambient environment, the insulation of the cellar, and the thermal
mass inside the cellar, will affect the cooling unit’s runtime. It is normal for
the cooling unit to run up to 75 percent of the time in order to maintain
proper conditions inside the cellar.

Select a power receptacle (Front or Rear) and plug the provided power
cord into that receptacle. Plug the other end of the power cord into a
dedicated 15 amp circuit. A surge-protected circuit is recommended.
Set the power selector switch to energize the appropriate receptacle
used (Front or Rear).

The power cord provided for the model 3200VSi and 4200VSi is approved
for indoor use only, while the power cord for model 3200VSx and 4200VSx
may be used both for indoor or outdoor applications.

II. Installation Instructions

 TEST THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING IT

1. Remove the unit from the box. SAVE THE BOX AND PACKING

MATERIALS.

2. Plug in the power cord and let the unit run on a hard, flat surface

for no more than 5 minutes.

3. Check to make sure that both fans (one in the front and one at the

rear of the cooling unit) are blowing.

4. Check that the cooling unit is discharging cold air from the front (it

should be approximately 10 - 12° F colder than the temperature on
the digital display)

5. Please note: The cooling system is programmed with a 3-Minute

Delay at Startup to protect its internal components

 Cut a hole in the wall that is 1/4 inch larger than the dimensions (W x

H) of the cooling unit, and create a frame to support the rear of the
cooling unit. The rear of the cooling unit should be supported by the

wall through which it is installed. Horizontal 2 x 4 inch braces should be
installed between the studs below and above the cooling unit. If the
studs in the wall must be cut to accommodate the width of the cooling
unit, vertical braces also should be installed on either side of the cooling
unit.

3200 / 4200 Frame and Cut-Out Diagram

10 V9.14

 Mount the unit in the upright position close to the ceiling inside the

cellar. As warm air rises to the top of the cellar, the cooling unit pulls the

warm air through the evaporator coil and removes the heat from the
warm air. Once cooled, the cold air is discharged from the front of the
cooling unit and circulates through the cellar.

 Slide the unit through from the outside of the cellar. CAUTION: Two

people are required to move the cooling unit, which is very heavy.
Do not place the cooling unit on unprotected bottle racks.

 Tilt the cooling unit slightly backwards. The rear of the cooling unit

should be slightly lower than the front of the cooling unit to facilitate the
flow of excess condensate to the drain line.

 Use our adjustable mounting brackets to support and anchor the cooling

unit to the framing in the wall. Use the (16) #10x1-1/2” flat Phillips head

wood screws provided to anchor the screws into the studs and braces.
The mounting brackets can be used either inside or outside the cellar and
can be used in three different locations, as shown below.

12 V9.14

3200VSx / 4200VSx – Mounting Diagrams

13 V9.14

 Installation Notes:

1. The unit is shipped with (4) wall mounting brackets, a 90° drain elbow, and a

10’ length of ½ ” I.D. condensate drain line. The required hardware is
shipped loose with the unit.

a. Model 3200VSi / 4200VSi (indoor installations): Select the desired set of

mounting holes, location #1, #2, or #3 (shown above). The mounting
brackets can be used on either side of the wall.

b. Model 3200VSx / 4200VSx (outdoor installations): The rear cover uses hole

location #1. If this is also the desired location for the mounting brackets,
first make certain the rear cover is in place, and then install the mounting
brackets over the rear cover.

2. If the mounting brackets are used on the outside of the cellar in Location 1, a

shelf will be needed to support the weight of the cooling unit.

3. To attach the mounting brackets, attach the side and top brackets to the

unit using (8) #8x3/8” sheet metal screws. The bottom bracket only attaches
to the side brackets – there are no mounting holes for the bottom mounting
bracket in the case of the cooling unit. Secure the top and bottom brackets
to the side brackets with (4) ¼-20x5/8” bolts and lockwashers (included).

4. Attach insulated foam tape to the mounting brackets on the side that will

face the wall to create an insulated and airtight seal between the wall and
the brackets.

5. Once the cooling unit is installed, all cracks and gaps between the cooling

unit and the cellar should be sealed. A complete and proper seal must be
made between the cellar and the cooling unit to ensure that outside air does not
enter the cellar. Use sealant tape or caulking to seal the perimeter where the
cooling unit touches the cellar. Check the seal by having a helper stand in front
of the cabinet while you shine a flashlight around the cooling unit edges to
discover any gaps in sealant.

6. Thread the drain elbow tightly to the condensate overflow drain line.

Thread tape is not required. Run the overflow drain tube to a gravity drain,
routing so that the tube forms a water trap near the unit. Charge the tube
trap with water, then slide the ½ ”ID vinyl tubing over the hose barb.

14 V9.14

As shown above, the drain line should drop, then rise (but stay below
the height of the fitting), and then drop again into a drain or bucket.
Then, fill the trap with water. The condensate trap will allow any
excess moisture inside the cooling unit to overcome the static pressure
and flow out of the drain line.

15 V9.14

 Ducted Installations – Rear Duct Kit

1. Ductwork may be attached to the discharge only, or to both the

discharge and return adapters.

2. The unit is capable of operating with 100 equivalent feet of total

ductwork, or 50 equivalent feet for both the discharge and return
ducting, for the rear and the front of the cooling unit. Elbows or bends
will reduce this length. Use a duct sizing program to determine the total
equivalent feet of a specific duct routing design, or consult the
manufacturer for recommendations.

3. The “High” fan speed setting is recommended for long duct runs and as

ambient temperatures rise. The “Low” fan speed should never be used
in a ducted application.

16 V9.14

 Ducted Installations – Front Duct Kit

1. Remove the front grill (if present) from the front of cooling unit before

attaching the front duct hoods.

2. Ductwork must be attached to BOTH the intake and exhaust openings,

connecting the cooling unit and the wine cellar.

3. The front duct kit includes two duct hoods. One hood is designed for intake

and will cover the lower portion of the cooling unit. This hood is completely
open on the rear. The second hood is designed for the exhaust and will
cover the top portion of the cooling unit. This hood is partially closed on the
rear. Both hoods are designed to attach to the cooling unit with 3/8” self­tapping screws (included in the kit). SCREWS LONGER THAN 3/8” MAY NOT
BE USED.

4. A bottle probe is included and is required for use with the front duct kit. The

bottle probe is designed to plug into the face of the cooling unit and
terminate inside the cellar. The bottle probe may be used to measure air or
liquid temperatures inside the cellar. If measuring air (recommended),
simply place the probe on one of the racks. If measuring liquid, the probe in
a bottle with water and rubbing alcohol (10-20%), use the rubber stopper to
seal the bottle, and place the bottle in the racks. If the bottle probe is used
to measure air temperatures, the differential (HY) on the cooling unit should

be set to “4”. If the bottle probe is used to measure liquid temperature, the
differential should be set to “1”. To change the differential on the cooling

unit, please refer to our “Advanced Operation” instructions in Section III.

5. The unit is capable of operating up to 50 equivalent feet for each duct.

Elbows or bends will reduce this length. Use a duct sizing program to
determine the total equivalent feet of a specific duct routing design, or
consult the manufacturer for recommendations.

6. The “High” fan speed setting is required for long duct runs and as ambient

temperatures rise. The “Low” fan speed should never be used in a ducted
application.

7. Condensation on the hood can occur in warm and humid environments,

even though the inside of the hood is insulated. If left unattended, this
condensation may cause damage to the electrical components inside the

cooling unit. This damage is not covered by the cooling unit’s warranty.

If condensation occurs on the front duct hood, you should do the following
ASAP to mitigate the condensation:

- Insulate the duct hood by adhering insulation to the outside of the hood.

- Apply silicone caulking to the seam where the hood meets the cooling

unit



Summary

Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing a wine cooling unit
from CellarPro:

 If the cellar it too large for the cooling unit, the cooling unit will be

unable to maintain proper, even temperatures throughout the cellar.

 Without proper insulation and an airtight environment, the cooling unit

effectively will become a de-humidifier and potentially will produce
buckets of water.

 The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in a space that is at least as large as

the wine cellar unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted. Both the front and
the rear of the cooling unit require a minimum clearance of 8 inches.

 Without access to c ool air , eithe r be cause of improper

ventilation or environments that are too hot, the cooling unit will be
unable to maintain proper temperatures inside the cellar.

Under these conditions, the unit’s internal components may become damaged,

the expected useful life of the wine cooling unit may be adversely affected, and
the product’s warranty may become null and void.

III. O p e r at i n g I n s t r u c t i o n s

 Overview

Test the cooling unit to make sure it is working properly before installing the
cooling unit (refer to the instructions at the beginning of the previous
chapter.)

CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal conditions for
wine storage and aging. These conditions include steady, cool
temperatures, high humidity, minimal vibration and light, and clean air.

The settings on your CellarPro cooling unit have been preset and optimized
by the factory. Before changing any settings below, we recommend
waiting 14 days to allow the cooling unit to “break in.”

The cooling unit is designed to cool the cellar gently without stripping
moisture out of the cellar environment. Therefore, it is not uncommon for
the cooling unit to run nonstop for up to a week initially, depending on the
temperature inside the cellar, the size of the cellar, and the temperature of
the ambient environment. Once the cellar has reached equilibrium, it is
normal for the cooling unit to run as much as 75 percent of the time.

CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal temperatures for
storing and aging fine wine. CellarPro cooling units are not designed to
maintain temperatures for serving wine, which tend to be much colder than
storage temperatures, especially serving temperatures for white and
sparkling wines.

CellarPro cooling units must be used, stored, moved and/or shipped in the
upright position. Be careful when turning the unit on its side. The unit

NEVER should be turned upside down.

The cooling system is programmed with a 3-Minute Delay at Startup to
protect its internal components.

 Temperature Control

CellarPro cooling units are designed to turn “on” when the air temperature

passing over the evaporator coils inside the cellar exceeds the Minimum Set
Point plus the Temperature Differential, and turn “off” when the

temperature drops below the Minimum Set Point. For example, if the
Minimum Set Point is 58°F and the Temperature Differential is 4°F, the
cooling unit will turn on when the temperature rises above 62°F inside the
cellar, and it will turn off when the temperature falls below 58°F. In this
example, the average temperature inside the cellar will be 60°F.

19 V9.14

 Basic Operation

The temperature inside the cellar can be increased or decreased by
changing the Minimum Set Point as described later in this chapter. If the
cooling unit runs too much, you can raise the Minimum Set Point to reduce
the cycle “on” time. Most wine collectors store their wine in the range of 55 ­60°F.

CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain appropriate levels of
humidity, ranging from 50 to 70 percent, inside wine cellars. In order to
increase or decrease humidity inside the cellar, the

Fon

setting can be
changed as described in the “Advanced Operation” section later in this
chapter.

 Switch Instructions

20 V9.14

(1) Control Panel: Maintains desired cellar environment. Factory settings
are optimized for peak performance. Controller is described in detail in the
following section.

(2) Fan Speed Selector Switch (Low/Med/High): The cooling unit fans
operate on 3 speed settings: Low, Medium, and High. For optimum sound
and energy efficiency, select the lowest fan speed that will maintain the
desired cellar temperature. High speed is recommended for initial cellar
pull down, exteme temperature conditions and ducted installations.

(3) Condensate Evaporator Switch (OFF/ON): When in the “on” position,
the switch will illuminate indicating the condensate evaporator is energized
to remove moisture collected in the unit’s condensate drain pan. The
switch light may cycle off and on indicating a low moisture environment. If
this condition is observed, or if no condensate is present at the overflow,

the switch may be turned “off” to reduce unit energy consumption. For

initial cellar pull down or in high humidity environments, the switch should
be set to “on”.

(4) Power Selector Switch (Front/Rear): The unit is powered by installing the
provided plug cord in the front or rear of the unit. To use the front
receptacle, set switch to “Front” and plug in the cord at the front of the
unit (location #6). To use the rear receptacle, set to “Rear” and plug in the
cord at the rear of the unit (location #7).

(5) Bottle Probe Jack (Bottle Probe): Plug in the remote bottle probe (sold
separately) to control the cellar by liquid temperature rather than air
temperature inside the cellar. Disconnecting the probe will automatically
return the control to air temperature. When using a bottle probe, the
Temperature Differential will need to be adjusted to 1 degree as shown in
the “Advanced Operation” instructions below.

(6/7) Grounded Power Receptacle: One receptacle is located on the
front (#6), and one on the rear (#7). Use the receptacle that is most
convenient for the installation. Enable the receptacle by setting the power

location switch (#4) to “Front” or “Rear”.

The condenser coils at the back of the cooling unit will collect dust, dirt and
lint over time. It is critically important to clean (reusable filter) or replace
(disposable filter) the air filter periodically. If the condenser coils or filter
become clogged, the cooling unit will not have proper airflow and its
performance and longevity will be compromised.

The condenser filter slides out to the left or the right at the rear of the
cooling unit. Reusable filters can be cleaned with warm soapy water. The
condenser coils themselves also can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner –
ideally with a brush attachment to loosen dust caught between the fins.

Alarms

The cooling unit has both an audible notification and a visual alarm
indicator (shown in “red” on the control panel) that are activated when an
alarm is triggered.

Please note

: the temperature alarm (HA) is disabled
during the first 23 hours of operation after the cooling unit is plugged in
and/or turned on.:

Cooling Unit Runs Constantly

Improper installation, inadequate insulation, or a cellar that is too large will
cause the cooling unit to run continuously and cannot be troubleshooted.

The cooling unit is designed to turn on when the air temperature in the
cellar rises ABOVE the Minimum Set Point + Temperature Differential, and turn
off when the air temperature falls below the Minimum Set Point. For
example, if the Minimum Set Point is 58°F and the Temperature Differential is
4°F, the cooling unit will turn on above 62°F and turn off below 58° F. In this
example, the average temperature inside the cellar will be 60°F.

When bottles are first loaded in the cellar, the cooling unit will run
continuously (even up to a week) until the temperature inside the cellar falls
below the Set Point.

CellarPro 3200 and 4200 Series cooling units are designed to maintain proper
wine storage temperatures inside cellars with adequate insulation up to 1500
cubic feet, depending on the cooling unit, thermal load and desired cellar
temperature.

Hot weather conditions, insufficient ventilation and/or dirty condenser filters
may cause the cooling unit to run continuously. To reduce cycle times,

1. Remove any obstructions to air flow to or from the unit

2. Check to make sure the condenser filter is clean

3. Increase the Fan speed to High

4. Increase the supply of cool air to the space outside the condenser

coils, using a fan, ducting or an exhaust system to remove heat from
the space.

5. Raise the Minimum Set Point on the cooling unit

Cooling Unit Is Dripping

The cooling unit is designed to remove excess moisture from inside the cellar,
which collects in the drip pan of the cooling unit and is evaporated by the
condensate heater. Excess moisture can occur when the cooling unit runs
constantly, when the Minimum Set Point is too low and/or when the cellar
doesn’t have a good seal from the outside environment. To eliminate
overflow, do the following:

1. Turn “on” the condensate evaporator switch.

2. Ensure the condensate overflow drain line is not blocked, that the

drain line is trapped and the trap is filled with water.

30 V9.14

3. Make sure the unit is slightly tilted backwards to force condensate

to flow to the rear of the cooling unit.

4. Raise the Minimum Set Point of the cooling unit.

5. Check to make sure the cellar has airtight seals, including the door(s),

light fixtures, and all walls, ceiling and floor.

HA2 Alarm Has Been Triggered

The cooling unit is designed to measure the temperature of the condenser
coils and, if the temperature exceeds 140°F, the HA2 alarm will display on
the control panel.

If this alarm happens when you first receive and start operating your
CellarPro cooling unit, check for appropriate installation and ventilation
(Chapter II). Also, make sure that there aren’t any obstructions to the
intake and/or exhaust vents. If your wine cabinet has a grill, remove the
grill and/or any other obstructions above (top vent) or behind (back
vent) the cellar.

If the alarm happens in conjunction with hot ambient conditions, we
recommend doing the following:

1. Raise the Minimum Set Point to 60°F until temperatures cool down

2. Increase the Fon setting

3. Increase the fan speed to High

If the cooling unit has been operating for several months without any
problems and the alarm occurs, check the condenser filter and clean or
replace if necessary.

LA2 Alarm has been triggered

As noted above, the cooling unit is designed to measure the
temperature of the condenser coils and, if the temperature drops below
a certain point, the LA2 alarm will display on the control panel. Please call
CellarPro at 877.726.8496 if this alarm occurs.

Cooling Unit Won’t Turn On

The cooling system is programmed with a 3-Minute Delay at Startup to
protect its internal components.
