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 R13 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 cellar shall be sealed to prevent air and moisture leakage into the cellar. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor barriers.

Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R13 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 cellar by more than 25 °F. No cellar 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 cellar 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 cellar. Symptoms of this condition are; cooling 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 cellar. Please be aware that moisture can pass through solid concrete, paint and wood. Often a newly constructed cellar 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.

Features and Specifications

•Wine-Mate ceiling mount split cooling systems WM-2500~8500SSD are designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated wine cellar.

•The wine cellar will maintain humidity range within 50~70% RH.

•These temperature and humidity ranges like in natural caves are optimized for long term storage of wine.

•SSD units consist of a condensing unit and an evaporator unit; they are connected by a liquid line and an insulated suction line.

•SSD condensing units can be located away from the wine cellars 50 ft so that noise and compressor vibration are isolated.

•SSD evaporator units provide two way air supply operation. The evaporator units can be installed on the ceiling in the center of a wine cellar.

Fig. 1 SSD Ceiling Split Cooling System

NOTE:

Capacity is determined under the cellar, the cellar ambient and the condensing unit ambient temperatures of 55°F, 75°F and 90°F, with R13 interior and R19 exterior insulations. Any higher ambient temperatures, lower insulations will cause reducing capacity and the cellar temperature may not be maintained at 55°F.

CAUTION:

If the installation area will be below 50°F, purchase a low ambient condition kit.

Temperature and Humidity

1. The controller

Fig. 2 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER

1) Keys

SET: To display set-point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or confirms an operation.

: To start a manual defrost.

: To see the maximum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or increases the displayed value.

: To see the minimum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or decreases the displayed value.

: To turn on/off the power to the unit.

+: To lock/unlock the keypad.

SET+: To enter in the programming mode.

SET+: To return to the temperature display.

2) Lock and unlock the keys

To lock the keys, press up + down keys + until POF is displayed; to unlock the keys, press up + down keys + until PON is displayed.

3) Display

During normal operating conditions, the display shows the value measured by the air temperature probe. In case of active alarm, the temperature flashes alternately to the code alarm. The LED functions are listed as follows.

LED	MODE	FUNCTION
	ON	Compressor enabled
	Flashing	Anti-short cycle enabled
	ON	Defrost cycle enabled
	ON	Fan enabled
	Flashing	Fan delay after defrost enabled
	ON	Alarm occurring
	ON	Temperature measuring unit
	Flashing	Programming mode

4) Alarm Signals

The alarm codes are described as follows.

	MESSAGE	CAUSE	FUNCTION
	P1	Temperature probe faulty	Compressor switching to Con and CoF
	HA	High temperature alarm	Probe temperature ALU higher than the
			setting temperature; Outputs unchanged
	LA	Low temperature alarm	Probe temperature ALL lower than the
			setting temperature; Outputs unchanged
	CA	External alarm	All outputs off

Probe alarms P1”, start a few seconds after the fault in the related probe; they automatically stop a few seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms “HA”, “LA” automatically stops as soon as the temperature returns to normal value. Alarm “CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument.

2. Temperature Setting

•Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine

•On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting and surrounding temperature.

•Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature setting operation

3.	How to see temperature set-point
1)	Press and immediately release the SET key, the display will show the set-point
value.
2)	Press again and immediately release the SET key to display the probe value.
4.	How to change the set-point

1)Press and hold the SET key until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts flashing and the set-point is displayed.

2)Press the up/down keys / to change the set-point value within 10 sec.

3)Press the SET key again to store the new set-point value.

NOTE: The unit turns on at set-point Set plus regulation differential Hy after antishort cycle AC has elapsed; the unit turns off at set-point Set.

5. Manual Defrost

Press and hold the defrost key until defrost starts. The defrost indicator will be on.

NOTE: Depending on the controller, not all parameters are used.

7. How to calibrate the air probe

If the actual cellar temperature differs from the setting temperature, set parameter ot = actual cellar temperature minus set-point.

8. How to adjust defrost cycle

- 8 -

In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 4 and MdF =

20 can be used to avoid frost.

9. How to adjust the humidity

The parameter Fon is used to adjust the humidity in the wine cellar. Higher Fon results in higher relative humidity. Use a separate hygrometer to monitor the humidity.

10. How to set alarm call

1) Speech notice will be sent to your phones when the cellar temperature is ALU higher or ALL lower than the set-point Set.

2) In order to test the call function, set parameters Ald = 0 and dAO = 0. After testing, set Ald = 60 and dAO = 23.

11. How to set low cellar temperature heater

The heater turns on at SAA minus Shy; the heater turns off at SAA.

NOTES:

•Use a forced air heater to warm up the wine cellar.

•If there is a thermostat on the heater, bypass it or set the thermostat at the highest level.

If the heater runs more than 10 A current, use a 120VAC coil contactor.
