Important Safety Information

• DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI).

• A DEDICATED 20 AMP CIRCUIT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Feature Description

• WINE-MATE ducted system VINO4500-8500DS are designed and used to

provide a cold temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated wine room at a normal environment.

• The wine room will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when the environment becomes dry and humid. These temperatures and humilities are optimized for long term storage of wine.

• The DS ducted systems are designed for both outdoor and indoor installation.

• Back-curved impeller fans are good for total 50 ft long duct to cut the operation noise.

• Self-contained ready for use with no extra refrigeration tubing in the field.

Cellar Construction

This is only a guide and shall be considered as minimum requirements. All interior walls and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R11

insulation. All exterior walls and ceiling shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R19 insulation. The vapor barrier shall be installed on the warm side of the insulation. All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes or vents that go through the enclosure shall be sealed to prevent air and moisture leakage into the room. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor barriers.

Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R11 and tightly sealed with high quality weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door and fill gap between the door’s frame and wall before installing the cap molding. In order to maintain 55 °F in the wine cellar, the ambient temperature surrounding the enclosure shall not exceed the temperature of the enclosure by more than 25 °F. No enclosure wall shall receive direct sun or strong wind.

Lighting shall be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when the enclosure is not occupied.

The cooling system will not be able to maintain the proper temperature if fresh moisture-laden air is constantly being introduced to the enclosure. Symptoms of this condition are; unit runs all the time with only a slight reduction in temperature and/or water overflows from the unit. Because of the temperature difference between the inside and outside, very small cracks can allow large amounts of outside air to enter into the enclosure. Please be aware that moisture can pass through solid concrete, paint and wood. Often a newly constructed room contains fresh wood, paint, concrete and other building materials. These materials contain large amounts of moisture. When placed into operation in this type of environment, the system will work harder to remove this extra moisture resulting in increased “run” time.

Installer’s Instruction

Federal law requires that WINE-MATE ducted cooling systems

be installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.

WINE-MATE ducted system is shipped ready for use only after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed the system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp can only warrant the quality of the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be warranted by the installer. Installation of the system must be done in accordance with all state and local building codes.

1. Location

• Place the unit in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat exhausted by the condensing unit will build up and the cooling system will not operate properly.

• Leave minimum 5 feet clearance for hot air exhaust and leave minimum 1 foot clearance for the fresh air intake.

• Air flow from the cold air supply shall be unobstructed for at least 1 foot.

• Cooling unit shall be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded from

direct sun. It shall not be exposed to temperatures higher than 110 °F or lower than 45 °F (optional low ambient kit for 20 °F).

• Overall combined duct length can be up to 50 ft long.

2. Customer Wiring

• Use 14AWG wires to connect the wires in the condensing unit electrical box to the power lines; connect the wires in the evaporator unit electrical box to the temperature controller.

• If necessary, splice the air sensor and add extra 14AWG wires.

3. Air Sensor

• The air sensor is recommended to place in the wine room. If it is in a return duct, due to the temperature differential the temperature setting needs to be adjusted in order to maintain the proper wine room temperature.

4. Evaporator Unit Air Flow

• If the overall duct length is more or less than 50ft, it is necessary to check the air flow to meet the specified CFM. It may use larger or smaller size ducts or fan speed control to adjust the system refrigeration performance to achieve 8-10°F differential between return air and supply air.
