General Description

IMPORTANT

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice

View Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 on page 13 for details

The Wine Guardian cooling unit is a professional grade, American-manufactured, split two-piece climate control unit designed specifically for the storage of wine at cellar temperatures. It is designed for easy installation and operation. Wine Guardian uses digital electronic controls and R-134a refrigerant. The entire Wine Guardian fan coil section is tested at the factory and the condensing unit is shipped separately. All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire system is approved by ETL according to UL 1995 and CSA safety standards. All wiring complies with NEC. Each Wine Guardian fan coil section is furnished with a sealed, UL-approved power cord and plug.

The Wine Guardian Ducted Split System Contains

1. A Wine Guardian Fan Coil Unit with:

 A thermal expansion valve to control the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator coil  A built in condensate drain trap. No external trap is required.

 A removable control panel for ease of service  Supply duct collar  Return duct collar  Remote interface controller and control cable

2. A Condensing Unit with:

 A filer dryer to keep the refrigerant clean and free of contaminants  A sight glass to observe the level of refrigerant  A manual reset high pressure switch on the discharge to protect the compressor from high

pressures.

 Auto reset low pressure switch  24-volt contactor for control of fan coil unit  Crankcase heater  Low ambient refrigeration controls  Outdoor enclosure

Wine Guardian Fan Coil Unit

The Wine Guardian fan coil unit meets its rated capacities for total BTU/H and CFM at design cellar conditions and external static pressures. The fan coil unit is capable of rated CFM against the static pressure imposed by recommended ductwork. The fan is a motorized impeller type, statically and dynamically balanced, and uses permanently lubricated direct drive motors requiring no maintenance.

The Wine Guardian fan coil section operates as air passes through the cooling coil and is cooled by the refrigerant inside the coil. This causes any excess humidity in the air to condense and be captured in the drain pan and piped outside the unit. Air then enters the fan where it is pressurized and discharged out of the unit through one of five openings. Optional heating coils are located between the cooling coil and the fan. These coils heat the air to prevent low temperatures in the cellar.

All exterior framing of the Wine Guardian is powder coated 0.063 inch gauge aluminum to prevent rust and corrosion. All coils are copper tubes, aluminum fins, with an electrocoating to protect against premature corrosion. The unit uses an external drain to remove excess moisture and not reintroduce it into the cellar or ambient space. Removable, multiple access doors are provided to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, duct connections, and access to components and wiring. The fan coil has at least five discharge outlets to facilitate custom installations.

Each unit is provided with a pre-wired and tested remote interface controller for remote mounting within the wine cellar. The remote interface controller has multiple control functions for cooling, heating and operation. It has a fully automatic mode to switch between heating and cooling.

Electrical Controls

The main electrical control board and components are located on a separate panel accessible through a side door panel or by removal of the on/off panel from the system chassis.

All wiring is in accordance with the NEC.

Wires are numbered and color coded to match the wiring diagrams.

Electric power is supplied by a single factory-furnished cord and plug. All external controls are digital and proprietary to Wine Guardian products. Only approved communication cable and Wine Guardian controllers are suitable for proper system operation.

Condensing Unit

Compressors are rotary, self-lubricating, permanently sealed, hermetic reciprocating-type compressors, with internal overload protection and capacitor start. They include a minimum of 20 months manufacturer’s warranty and an optional five-year warranty. Compressors are mounted on rubber-inshear isolators to reduce noise and vibration. Additional features include a liquid line filter drier, Sporlan Head Master Controls, a liquid line receiver and refrigerant sight glass. Each unit is housed in a painted steel enclosure suitable for outdoor installation. The outdoor enclosure has adequate area for ventilation and refrigerant piping penetrations.

IMPORTANT

The air exhaust from the condensing unit is hot and will be 15 to 20 degrees C above the entering

temperature. The condensing units are rated for a maximum temperature of 46 degrees C. The

condensing units should be installed in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper air flow across the

condenser coil and to limit short cycling.

Accessories and Optional Equipment

Heating Coils

An optional heating coil is built in and requires no additional power source. The electric heating option is factory installed and includes primary and secondary over-temperature protection devices per UL and NEC.

Duct Collars and Flexible Ducts

Ducting for the Wine Guardian is sold in kits by size for each unit. Each kit contains two adapter collars, one 8m length of round flexible duct and two straps. The number of duct kits needed depends on the wine cellar layout and application. The size of the kit depends on the model Wine Guardian selected. Follow installation instructions carefully. Poorly or incorrectly installed ducts can degrade the performance of your unit dramatically.

Extended Compressor Warranty

The Wine Guardian uses only the best commercially available compressors on the market. However, since the compressor is the single most expensive component in the unit, it is recommended that you purchase the extended warranty option.

Low Ambient Option – Standard on all Wine Guardian Ducted Split Systems

A factory-installed low ambient option is available that makes the Wine Guardian capable of exposure to low ambient temperatures. This feature controls the condenser fan operation based on head pressure and heats the compressor oil reservoir. The low ambient option is recommended whenever the condenser section is exposed to air temperatures below 40 degrees F.

Condensate Pump

An optional Wine Guardian automatic condensate pump is available remote sink, drain pipe or

outside. It requires a separate 120 volt electrical outlet.

to pump the water to a

Humidifier

Another popular option for the Wine Guardian is a humidifier. The humidifier is available for split system installation and can be retrofitted onto any existing Wine Guardian unit. Each humidifier is furnished with a communication cable connection to plug into the side of the Wine Guardian fan coil unit. It is then controlled by the same remote interface controller that is used for the operation of the Wine Guardian unit. The humidifier mounts directly onto the Wine Guardian unit and requires a water supply and drain for operation.

Planning the Installation

Addressing Items in the Planning Process

 Where to locate the fan coil unit? Should it be built into the wine cellar or

mounted remote and ducted into the cellar?

 How to mount the fan coil unit?  Decide where to locate the supply and return grilles in the room to achieve

the temperature gradient and circulation preferred.



 Locate the electrical power outlet close to the unit. Do not use an extension

cord!



 Locate the condensing unit in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area.  Where to locate the remote interface controller and/or remote sensors?  Where to run the drain line?  Are all the parts available to complete the installation?



Performing a Pre-installation Check

 Check for the proper installation of the electrical plug configuration.  Check for the properly sized breakers for both the condensing unit and fan coil

section.

 Is the cellar built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?  Are ducts installed above the ceiling or in accessible places properly sized

before being covered?



 Is enough space available around the units for service and repair?

CAUTION

IMPORTANT

The fan coil unit is supplied with a plastic control box that houses a control relay/contactor.

The control box must be wired per supplied schematic to supply the 24 volt signal to

energize the condensing (outdoor) unit on a call for cooling. Mount this control box in the

most well protected location accessible to both the fan coil unit and condensing unit. Mounting it directly inside the housing of the condensing unit is recommended, if the

installer concurs there is ample space to do so.

Installing the Fan Coil Unit

Wine Guardian fan coil units are typically installed indoors located near the cellar to minimize the duct runs. Each unit is provided with one entering or return air inlet and five possible supply air outlets. A maximum cumulative total length of flexible ductwork, for both supply and return ducts (including bends) of 8 meters is recommended. If longer runs are needed, use more than one supply opening to reduce the airflow in each duct by one-half, or install rigid ductwork that is typically less restrictive. Do not exceed 16 meters of total ductwork without using of booster fans.

See Recommended Flexible Ductwork Sizing Chart on page 33 .

Provide a three-foot clearance around the unit for removal of ductwork, or access for unit maintenance. If the humidifier is used, provide access space in front of it for service. (See separate humidifier manual.)

The fan coil unit can be located either above, or below the condensing unit in height. Wine Guardian strongly suggests that any height difference be kept as minimal as possible.

The fan coil unit is equipped with an On/Off switch, two communication ports, and an optional humidifier connection. One communication port is always used for the factory-supplied remote interface controller and is supplied with 16 meters of communication cable. The second communication port can be used for other factory options, such as remote temperature/humidity sensors.

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

Check supporting structure for load bearing capacity to support the Wine Guardian.

All supports must be designed to meet applicable local codes and ordinances.

If in doubt, consult a qualified architect, engineer or contractor.

NOTE:

Review Fig. 1 through Fig. 4 on the following pages before mounting the unit.

Floor Mounting

Mount the Wine Guardian fan coil on a plywood surface at least 30cm above the floor to keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.

Wall Mounting

If the unit is mounted onto a wall, provide adequate support on both ends of the unit to accommodate the weight of the system. Use knee braces to transfer the load of the unit to the wall. A shelf can be constructed to support the unit or a wall mount kit can be purchased

through a Wine Guardian distributor.

Fig. 1

Ceiling Mounting

Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the unit on when hanging it from the ceiling joists. The Wine Guardian is NOT designed to be suspended from the top of the unit; it must be supported from the bottom. Angle brackets are available as an option for these types of applications. Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is supported on all four corners. Leave adequate space on the top of the unit to remove the access doors for service.

In all cases the unit must be level to within plus or minus one-quarter inch end-to-end and plus or minus one-either inch side-to-side for proper operation. Locate the unit as close to the wine cellar as possible to reduce the length of the duct runs. If possible, use short and straight ducting on all ductwork runs.

Typical Mounting Arrangements

The following illustrations are suggested mounting arrangements. These illustrations are not intended to be complete and detailed installation drawings.

Installing the Ductwork and Grilles

Duct Collars

One inlet duct collar and one evaporator outlet are supplied with each fan coil unit as standard equipment from the factory. The duct collars are removable. The return air, or inlet duct collar must connect to the return air outlet from the wine cellar. Any of the five supply air outlets on the unit can be used for the ductwork to the supply grille(s) inside the wine cellar. The factory installed supply duct collar can be relocated to any of the five openings as needed.

Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the wine cellar. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling loses, prevent sweating, and to reduce noise.

NOTE: Do not exceed a total of 25 feet for each length of ductwork run (supply and return).

Table 2

CAUTION

RISK OF DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

Avoid crimping the flexible ducts. This chokes down the inside area and reduces the airflow,

causing the unit to operate erratically.

Be sure all ducts and surface in contact with the airflow are insulated

and have a vapor barrier on the outside surface.

NOTE: Uninsulated ducts and surfaces cause bare exposed metal surfaces to sweat, further degradation of the insulation and a loss of equipment cooling capacity.

Location of Supply and Return Grilles

Locate supply and return grilles inside the cellar to create an airflow pattern that maximizes air circulation in the room. Avoid short circulating of the air.

 Do not install the return air grilles directly on the floor as the grilles will collect dust

from the floor.

 Do not locate the supply or return air grille where there are blocked by bottles, boxes

or cases.

 Do not locate the supply air grille where it blows directly on the remote interface

controller.

General Duct Recommendation

 Support the flexible duct often to prevent sags or bends.  Stretch the duct to make for a smoother interior for less air resistance.  For a 90 degree bend, insert a metal elbow inside the flexible duct to avoid crimping.  Do not squeeze or reduce the inside diameter of the ducts. This restricts the airflow.  Use short and straight ductwork.  Review the configuration schematic on the Overview sketch on page 11 for

information about which panels are available for duct connections and service.

 Remove the panels or grilles from the openings to connect the ductwork.  Check that all the fan blades move freely.  Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths.  Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian using the duct collars

provided with the duct accessory kit.

 Pull the outer plastic wrapping and insulation away from the end of the duct to

expose the reinforced inside duct liner.

 Use tie straps of clamp around the inside liner to fasten the duct collar.

 Secure the duct collar to the unit using the screws provided. Be careful not to damage

or bend the gasket.

 NOTE: Do not clamp around the outside insulation. It compresses and loosens

over time.

Reducing Noise from the Unit

Consider noise when locating the unit close to the cellar or an adjacent occupied space. A piece of one – or two-inch dense rubber or Styrofoam with foil face in between the unit and the wall absorbs and reduces the noise from the unit. In case of air noise use larger grilles or block the noise with a solid piece of wood or Styrofoam. Sound usually travels as a line of sight. Sound is reduced when it turns a corner, such as passing through a bend in ductwork. If the unit is supported from a wall or joist, place a rubber pad under the unit to reduce vibration transmission.

Installing the Condensate Drain Connection

The Wine Guardian unit provides dehumidification for the inside of the wine cellar. It cools the air down to the dew point corresponding to the temperature setpoint of the remote interface controller. If the vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excess moisture is in the basement, the unit may remove excessive amounts of moisture from the wine cellar. The moisture appears in the condensate drain of the unit.

NOTE: dehumidify the basement so as to not overload your Wine Guardian.

If moisture becomes excessive, install a room type dehumidifier to

Installing the Drain Line

 The drain line must extend from the unit to an external drain or disposal site. Do not use drain tubing any smaller 1.25cm inside dimension on the unit.

 Splice the drain extension onto the drain outlet with a sort piece of one-half inch copper tubing and secure with clamps.

 If no drain is available, use a bucket. Do not extend the drain below the rim of the bucket. Empty the bucket periodically.

The Wine Guardian unit is provided with a built-in drain trap. The drain trap creates a water seal to prevent air from backing up into the drain pan and causing the drain pan to overflow. Do not create secondary traps in the external drainline.

Allow enough height for the drain line to function properly. If draining into a nearby sink, the unit must be elevated higher than the rim of the sink in order for the water to drain by gravity. Install with a one-quarter inch per linear foot of pitch. Do not tie the condensate drain line directly into the sanitary sewer system. See Accessories and Optional Equipment on page 10 for information about the condensate pump.

Priming the Drain Trap

The internal drain trap primes itself automatically once the unit has run for a period of time and after the unit cycles off. This can be confirmed by water dripping from the drain.

Installing the Condensing Unit

 Condensing units are factory assembled with a sheet metal outdoor hood for protection

from the elements.

 A minimum of 30cm is required around the perimeter of the condensing unit for proper

airflow across the coil, and to provide an adequate discharge airflow path through the louver section. Any obstructions to this airflow will result in a decrease in performance, and possibly premature failure due to a buildup of high pressure within the system.

 The condensing unit is designed to operate in ambient temperatures ranging from-17

degrees C to 46 degrees C, as it is supplied with many standard features to assist full operation in this wide range.

 Mount the condensing unit above normal snowfall levels, so as to allow uninhibited

winter operation. A build up of snow or any obstruction to airflow will result in a decrease in performance and possible premature failure due to an increasingly high pressure within the system.

Installation of Interconnecting Refrigerant Lines (Suction and Liquid)

NOTE: The interconnecting copper refrigerant lines shall be supplied by the installer. The larger suction line must be fully insulated along its complete length from condensing unit to fan coil unit. There is a factory-installed liquid line filterdrier inside the condensing unit; therefore no additional drier is needed for proper operation. A liquid line moisture/sight glass is factory installed in the condensing unit to assist in monitoring the refrigerant charge, and the state of the refrigerant in the system.

 Keep horizontal and vertical distances between the indoor and outdoor section as close

as possible to minimize refrigerant charge required. This will reduce system issues related to oil management that can impair performance and jeopardize the compressor’s lubrication.

 Provide a one-inch pitch in suction and liquid line toward the evaporator for every 3

meters of run to prevent any refrigerant that condenses in the suction line from flowing to the compressor when the unit is off. These two lines can be routed together and wrapped together, as long as the suction line is fully insulated as previously directed.

 Suction line riser traps are not required if the riser is properly sized to maintain

refrigerant velocity. Adding a trap will only increase pressure drop.

 Prevent dips, sags, or other low spots that will trap refrigerant oil, which is an issue

especially with long horizontal runs. Use hard refrigerant copper for longer horizontal runs to prevent potential oil return problems. (see sample piping chart on page 34)

 When sweat connections are made in the connecting lines, be sure that the inside of the

tubing is clean before installing the unit. Use a dry nitrogen bleed during brazing. Note that compressor suction and discharge valves should be open to atmosphere no longer than 15 minutes. Compressors with POE (polyolester) oil will quickly become contaminated when opened to atmosphere. On any installation, the use of a suction line filter, liquid line filter drier and moisture indicator is recommended. If the suction line is larger than one-quarter inch, a vibration eliminator should be installed close to the motor compressor in a horizontal parallel to the compressor, crankshaft or in a vertical position 90 degrees to compressor crankshaft.

NOTE: The suction line should be clamped near the inlet end of the vibration eliminator. The vibration eliminator is located between the clamp and the

compressor.

Leak Checking and Evacuation Process

WARNING

ALL COMPONENTS CHARGED WITH DRY AIR MUST BE EVACUATED

BEFORE CHARGING WITH REFRIGERANT

 Purge the dry air charge from the unit by opening the liquid line shut-off valve or

removing the liquid line outlet fitting or plug, whichever is applicable for your particular unit. Connect the suction and liquid lines to the unit.

 Pressurize and leak test the entire system including the condensing unit, evaporator and

all connecting tubing, fittings, and brazed joints using the intended operating refrigerant for leak testing. A pressure equal to the low side test pressure marked on the unit nameplate is recommended for leak testing. Repair any leaks found. Connect a good vacuum pump to both the low and high side evacuation valves (if provided) with copper tube or high vacuum tube (three-eighths inch inside diameter minimum) and draw a deep vacuum of at least 15pp microns. Do not use the motor compressor to pull a vacuum and do not operate the motor compressor in a vacuum. Break the vacuum with nitrogen.

 Evacuate the system to hold at 500 microns and break the vacuum with refrigerant.

Remove the vacuum pump. The system is now ready for charging. Charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant and mark the amount, with a ballpoint pen, in the space provided on the unit nameplate.

NOTE: When charging through the suction service valve the refrigerant should be charged in vapor form. NEVER CHARGE IN LIQUID FORM. Refrigerant should always be charged through a dryer. Charging in liquid form may damage the valve plate assembly as well as scrub the oil out of the compressor bearings.

WARNING

NON-AZEOTROPES MUST BE CHARGED IN THE LIQUID PHASE ONLY. TO AVOID

COMPRESSOR DAMAGE, LIQUID MUST ALWAYS BE CHARGED INTO THE HIGH SIDE OR

NOTE: Be sure there is not an overcharge of refrigerant. An overcharge might permit liquid refrigerant to enter the motor compressor and damage the valves, rods, pistons, etc.

Wiring

 Wire the system as per the supplied wiring schematic found on pages 18 through

20 of this manual.

 The fan coil unit is powered through a factory-supplied power cord, but you will

need to run 24 volt power wires from the two position terminal block to the field installed enclosed contactor (in plastic housing) to be placed in the condensing unit, or to somewhere adjacent that is easily accessible. This can be typical remote interface controller wire or 18 gauge insulated wire. (see Fig.1 and 2 on the following page)

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

 The condensing unit needs to be hard-wired for the rated high voltage to be brought

to the field-installed contactor in enclosed plastic housing, from the load side (L1 & L2) of the contactor. Run a ground lead to be connected to the condensing unit Ground lead at the compressor. The load side of the field installed contactor will

contain the power leads that are found under the condensing unit’s control box

cover.

 Turn on power to the condensing unit 24 hours prior to system start-up to allow

crankcase heater to warm up compressor crankcase.

Refrigerant Charging

NOTE: The WGS40,.WGS75. WGS100 systems utilize a Headmaster control valve to control head pressure at low ambient applications, therefore require a specific initial charging procedure as outlined below. The wgs175 system does

not use this method of low ambient control (utilizes fan cycling), but can accept initial charge into the liquid receiver port the same way and the system has the same capacity.

。

Determining the amount of charge – When “refrigerant side” head pressure control is utilized on a system, one of the most important factors is determining the total system refrigerant charge. While on most packaged units the amount of charge is listed on the unit, the required charge for a field built-up system cannot be listed by the manufacturer. Charge is

usually added when the system is started up until “proper” system performance is reached.

However, this is not satisfactory and if the system is to function properly year-round, the correct amount of extra charge must be calculated ahead of time.

Procedures for Charging System with Head Pressure Control

WGS40, WGS75, WGS100,WGS175)

NOTE: When charging any system with head pressure control the outdoor ambient temperature must be known.

Charging of Systems with Head Pressure Control in ambient above 20 degrees C (After normal evacuation procedures):

1. Connect refrigerant cylinder to a charging or gauge port on the receiver outlet valve.

2. Open the receiver valve approximately one-half way (so receiver and liquid line are

connected to charging or gauge port).

3. Charge liquid refrigerant into the high side of the system. Weighing the charge is

recommended.

4. Remove the refrigerant drum and connect it to the suction side of the compressor.

5. Charge refrigerant vapor into the low side. Do not allow liquid refrigerant into the low

side.

6. Start the system.

7. Observe sight glass (at receiver outlet) to see if system is filling with refrigerant for

normal refrigeration cycle.

CAUTION

BUBBLES IN THE SIGHT GLASS CAN BE CAUSED BY FLASHING DUE TO PRESSURE DROP

FROM PIPE OR ACCESSORY LOSSES, ETC.

If the Sight glass shows bubbles, more refrigerant may be required, while allowing sufficient time for the refrigerant to stabilize and clear the Sight glass. Use supplied information on the following pages for proper final charge.

Charging of Systems with Sporlan Head Pressure Control in ambient below 20 degrees C (After normal evacuation procedures):

NOTE: When charging in ambient below 20 Deg. C the procedure is very critical. Be sure to adhere to the following steps. Failure to do so will result in overcharging the system.

1. Follow instructions 1 through 7 above.

2. If the valve setting is correct for the system being charged, it is quite likely that some

refrigerant will be backed up into the condenser and the Sight glass will indicate bubbles in the liquid line.

3. Add more refrigerant, while allowing sufficient time for the refrigerant to stabilize and

clear the Sight glass. Use supplied information on the following pages for proper final charge.

4. At this point the system is correctly charged for this type of head pressure control at

the ambient temperature that exists while the charging procedure is taking place.

5. If the system is designed to operate at ambient below the ambient that exits during

charging, additional charge may have to be added now.

Since good system performance during low ambient operation depends on proper refrigerant charge, it is very important that this phase of the installation procedure be done carefully. Many times, poor system performance will be due to too little or too much charge. And in many cases, this will be the last item suspected.

With the system started

 After following instructions on the previous page on initial Charging for Systems with

Head Pressure Control, with refrigerant tank now connected to suction line (low side) port to add remaining charge in a gas state, refer to the provided charts for proper system operating points as equated to ambient temperature with wine cellar at normal conditions of 14 degrees C / 55%RH. Refer to Split Systems Operations chart on page 60 for system pressures, sub-cooling, and superheat values to allow you to charge your system correctly.

 In addition to using the charts provided, there is a liquid line moisture/sight glass located in

the condensing (outdoor) unit that will assist you in knowing that you have sufficiently charge your system, HOWEVER a full sight glass or a glass with bubbles does not necessarily mean you are properly charged, or undercharged. There may be other factors affecting sight glass, so do not charge by sight glass method only. A full sight glassmatched with proper system pressures, sub-cooling, and superheat values is the proper method for confirming that the system charge is correct for your application.

If you are not sure how to measure superheat or sub-cooling:

Superheat

 Get an accurate suction line temperature on the suction line as close to the compressor inlet

as possible. At same time, attach a compound pressure gauge set to the system so as to read the low side suction pressure at the suction service valve port (back seated valve stem to allow un-restricted refrigerant flow from evaporator back to the compressor). Convert suction pressure to a saturated temperature as derived from a pressure/temperature chart. Since the suction line temperature is the higher value, subtract the saturated temperature from it to derive your superheat. If your wine cellar is already at specified conditions (e.g., 57 degrees F, 55% RH), and if your superheat is very low, or zero, you may have overcharged your system.

Sub-Cooling

 With your compound pressure gauge set still installed with the high side connect to the

valve port on the liquid receiver (back seated valve stem to allow un-restricted refrigerant flow from condenser to evaporator). Convert this liquid pressure to a saturated temperature from pressure/temperature chart. Next, obtain your liquid line temperature by getting an accurate reading on the liquid line BEFORE the TXV expansion on the indoor side. Obtain this temperature entering the evaporator unit. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the saturated liquid temperature to derive the system sub-cooling.

When comparing your high side system pressure to supplied charts below, refer to the liquid line pressure.

To give you an idea on how much R134A refrigerant charge you may require to reach full charge for your given interconnecting line length, see the very general guidelines below based on liquid line size:

IMPORTANT

Wine Guardian units are supplied with 6m of Cat 3, 6-wire twisted pair communication cable with RJ-11 connectors. Failure to use this type of communication cable WILL cause product damage and WILL void any equipment warranty. Installation instructions should be followed CAREFULLY as improper splicing and/or joining of twisted pair cables can cause equipment failure.

Installing the Thermostat and Communication Cable

The Wine Guardian Remote Interface Controller is a combination temperature and humidity controller with single stage cooling, heating and humidifier control. Each Wine Guardian unit is supplied with a Remote Interface Controller and 50 feet of communication cable. It is wired at the factory for testing prior to shipment.

In most applications the Remote Interface Controller will be mounted within the wine cellar. The remote interface controller can also be mounted directly outside of the wine cellar or in any other room of the home or building. When mounted outside of the wine cellar, a remote sensor kit must be purchased and installed within the wine cellar. See below for remote sensor installation details.

1. Mount the Remote Sensor on a solid surface away from doors, corners, air outlets, drafts or heat generating equipment. Do not mount the Remote Sensor directly on an outside wall or wall adjacent to a boiler room. Use a piece of foam insulation behind the sensor to insulate it from a hot or cold surface. The recommended height is 1.2 to 1.5 meters above the finished floor.

。

2. Remove the sensor cover plate by removing the two Allen head screws at the top of the cover using the Allen head wrench provided in the kit.(Fig.2) Mark the mounting points at the desired location within the wine cellar. Also mark the location of the communication cable connection as this area will require sufficient clearance, for instance 3.8cm hole in the wall for flush mounting of the sensor plate.

3. Drill two (2) .32cm holes and insert anchors (provided) within the mounting surface. Anchors may not be required if

securing to a wall stud or racking system. (Fig.3)

4. Plug in the communication cable to the back of the Remote Sensor and attach to the wall using the two screws provided in the kit. (Fig.4)

5. Plug the Remote Sensor cables into the splitter device at the WG unit along with the communication cable for the Remote Interface Controller. (Fig. 5)

If using multiple Remote Sensors in one wine room continue to mount the remaining sensors before installation of the sensor cover plates. When multiple sensors are used the sensor jumper position must be adjusted in order for proper averaging of temperature and humidity readings. See page 27 for jumper set up.

Joining Communication Cable

Wine Guardian cooling systems are supplied with 15 meters of 6 wire, Cat 3 twisted pair communication cable with RJ11 type connectors. Caution must be taken when connecting two lengths of communication cable (splicing) to ensure uniform wire color before and after splice. An RJ11 Modular 6 wire STRAIGHT THROUGH type coupler is the ONLY coupler approved for splicing Wine Guardian twisted pair communication cable.

Important

Jumper Position 2

Changing Jumper Positions (Averaging reading from Remote Sensor)

If using multiple Remote Temperature/Humidity sensors in your application, refer to the photos showing the need to change the jumper locations internal to the control board on each remote sensor (up to 3 maximum).

For the control to average all of the sensors utilized (if more than one), the jumper must be in different positions on the pins.

As you can see, there are three pin settings. To access the jumper:

1. Remove the two-set screws holding on the plastic cover. This procedure allows the control to go to each remote sensor in sequence to average. Failure to perform this procedure will result in the system reading only one sensor and not the average of multiple sensors.

NOTE: If multiple sensors control the WG unit, change factory default in configuration

setting 10 to “averaging.” You will need access code from Air Innovations service to use

in configuration 8 to reach configuration 10.

Rick of personal injury.

Starting-up and Operating the Wine Guardian Split System

Now that the installation is complete, it’s time to start the unit up. Check to make sure all ductwork and electrical connections are secure.

Replace all panels which were removed during installation. Check that all of the openings in the unit are covered with a blank panel, a ductwork connection or a grille.

Cover all openings of the unit to prevent a hand or finger from access inside the unit.

Turn on the Unit

Plug in the unit. Turn-on the rocker switch on the side of the unit. The rocker switch lights up to indicate power to the unit. The unit may not come on right away due to the timer built into the circuiting to prevent short-cycling.

Testing the Fan

（

Factory default is AUTO FAN operation. You change into setting 7 to change from “AUTO” to

“ON.

 ON means the fan runs continuously and indicates that the power is on and the

control circuit is energized and operating.

 AUTO means the fan runs only when the thermostat is calling for cooling, heating,

or the optional humidistat is calling for humidification.

。

Running the Unit

Check unit to confirm the compressor is running, such as the hum of the

compressor or cool air leaving the unit.

√ Initially, the unit may run continuously for several hours, up to a day or more, while it lowers the

cellar temperature. Once the unit reaches the set point temperature, it shuts off and starts to cycle on and off as it continues to lower the bottle temperature to the set point. The cellar air reaches set point before the bottles. If the cellar temperature started at 24°C, the supply air temperature discharged from the unit will probably be 8°C to 11°C colder. As the cellar temperature decrease to 13°C, the supply temperature differential decreases 6 to 7°C colder.

NOTE: The remote interface controller will show a “Hi Temp” fault until the wine cellar temperature falls below 65 degrees. See page 49 for Hi Temp Alarm details.

Cycling the Unit

The fans continue to free-wheel for several minutes when the unit cycles off. This is normal.

If the unit is furnished with a low ambient control, the condenser fan also cycles on and off during cooling. This maintains the head pressure on the compressor under low ambient conditions, and is normal. The bottom of the compressor stays warm even when the unit is off to keep the lubricating oil warm and separated from the refrigerant.

Setting the Remote Interface Controller

Normal settings are between 12 and 14°C. If the optional heating coil is furnished, 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°C.

Regulating the Wine Cellar Temperature

Wine cellars have a natural temperature gradient of approximately 3°C between floor and ceiling. To increase or decrease the temperature in various zones, change the air flow patterns.

To keep the entire wine cellar at the same temperature, set the thermostat to run the supply fan continuously and not just when the cooling is operating. Set Fan switch to ON instead of AUTO.

NOTE: To monitor the Cellar Temperature, place thermometers in various locations in the cellar to monitor the temperature zones. Change the temperature in various zones by shifting the air flow patterns.

Changing the Air Flow Direction

The grilles furnished with Wine Guardian are single directional. Rotate the grilles to change the direction of the air flow.

When using multiple supply ductwork balance the air flow between the ductwork. If too much air flows though one duct but not enough air flows from the other duct, install a damper or other restriction into the duct with too much air. That will force more air to flow out the other duct.

Maintenance

General

警告

BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT, READ AND UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY

INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SAFETY CHAPTER OF THE WINE GUARDIAN

MANUAL.

HIGH VOLTAGE - RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

High voltages are present in the cabinets. Turn off all power. Use the Lockout/

Tagout procedure before opening panels.

SHARP EDGES

RISK OF SEROUS INJURY

Sharp edges are present on the fan wheels, housing, fins and coils.

Maintenance on Wine Guardian units requires working with high voltage and

sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should

perform maintenance. Some tasks require knowledge of mechanical and

electrical methods. Make sure you are familiar with all hazards, general safety

related procedures, and safety labels on the unit.

EXPOSURE TO MICROBIAL GROWTH (MOLD) CAN CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS

Standing water in drain pans promote microbial growth (mold) that cause unpleasant odors and serious health-related indoor air quality problems. If mold is found, remove it immediately and sanitize that portion of the unit.

The Wine Guardian is designed for minimum maintenance. The refrigerant system is hermetically sealed and requires no maintenance. The fans are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance. Some maintenance to the unit may be required due to dust or dirt in the air stream.

Cleaning the Filters

The evaporator and condenser coils are provided with reusable, washable air filters. The filters protect the coils from becoming coated or plugged by dust. Frequency of cleaning the filters is based on the amount of dust or dirt generated in the cellar or basement.

。

1. Remove the grille or duct collar on the inlet end of the unit.

2. Remove the filter covering the face the coil.

3. Wash it under warm water.

4. Shake off excess water.

5. Inspect and clean the face of the coil.

CAUTION

警告

Sharp edges are present on the fins and coils.

6. Reinstall the filter

7. Replace the grille or duct collar

SHARP EDGESRISK OF SERIOUS INJURY

Cleaning the Condensate Drain System

The condensate drain system traps dust and dirt. Clean the drain system once a year.

1. Shut off the rocker switch and unplug the unit. Remove the grille or duct on the evaporator inlet. Remove the filter and inspect the drain pan under the coil.

2. If drain pan appears soiled, pour some hot water mixed with liquid bleach (diluted solution) along the length of the pan to flush the dirt down the drain tube. Continue this treatment until the drain appears clean and free of dirt

3. Reinstall filter and grille or duct collar.

4. Plug in the unit and restart.

Cleaning the Humidifier (optional)

If the unit was furnished with a humidifier it requires periodic maintenance. Follow the

instructions in the humidifier guide.

Heating Coil Option

The heating coil is located between the evaporator coil and blower inside the transition duct. It contains the heating element and high temperature limit switches. The heating coil is wired to work in conjunction with the remote interface controller. Since the remote interface controller prevents the heating and cooling circuits from being energized at the same time, no additional power wiring is needed. We do recommend using the AUTO mode on the remote interface controller so it can switch from heating to cooling automatically. If using either the heat or cool only mode, the remote interface controller will not switch automatically.

No additional maintenance is required for the heating coil. To test the heating coil operation, set the remote interface controller on HEAT and set the temperature above the cellar temperature. The supply air temperature should rise above the return air temperature by an amount shown in the specifications.

Maintenance Schedule

Monthly

(or quarterly depending on experience with individual cellar)

 Check filter and drain trap – clean if needed.  Check for noise or vibration.

 Check for short-cycling of the unit – a turning on and off of the compressor unit

more than either (8) times/hour.

Yearly

(in addition to monthly)

 Replace filters if worn or plugged beyond cleaning.  Check evaporator and condenser coils for dirt – use a vacuum with a brush

attachment to clean the coils.

 Clean condensate pan under the evaporator coil by flushing. Be careful to keep the

drain pans clear of any and all debris.

 Inspect cabinet for corrosion or rusting – clean and paint.  Inspect for dirt buildup on or inside the unit. Clean unit by vacuuming or wiping it

down.

 Check for loose insulation, fasteners, gaskets or connections.  Check the wiring connections and integrity or cords.  Examine ducts for any cracks or breach.  Check fan and solenoid on humidifier.  Replace humidifier pad (if used).
