General Description

The Wine Guardian Cabinet cooling system is a professional grade, self-contained climate control system 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 environmentally friendly R-134a refrigerant. The entire system is run-tested at the factory and shipped as a single package. All components are of a high quality standard commercial grade. The entire system is approved by ETL (Equipment Testing Lab) according to UL (Underwriters Laboratory) 484 and

CSA (Canadian Standard Association) safety standards. All wiring complies with NEC (National

Electrical Code). All 50Hz Wine Guardian equipment is CE certified. Each system is factory installed with a sealed, UL-approved power cord and plug. Wine Guardian products are made in the USA.

The Wine Guardian Cabinet system is completely self-contained and includes an integral air cooled condenser. The system is functionally divided into two sections, the evaporator or cooling section, and the condenser or heat rejection section. Each section contains a coil to add or remove heat and a fan to move the air through the coil and into our or out of the cellar or adjacent space.

Air from the cabinet first enters the cooling coil. 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 internally evaporates as it comes in contact with the integral condensate removal coil. Air then enters the fan where it is pressurized and discharged out of the system. The thermostat (remote interface controller) turns the cooling on and off as needed to maintain its set point.

The compressor and condenser section are activated whenever the system is cooling. The condenser fan draws air from the surrounding or ambient space. The airflows through the condenser coil where it absorbs heat from the refrigerant in the coil. The air is finally discharged out of the system by the condenser fan, and can be ducted outside or to an unused space through optional duct collars.

CAUTI ON

THE AIR EXHAUST FORM THE CONDENSER FAN IS WARM AND CAN BE 20 DEGREES F

ABOVE THE ENTERING AIR TEMPERATURE.

Wine Guardian Controls

Wine Guardian’s digital electronic control system offers a versatile solution for controlling and monitoring your cabinet temperature and humidity. This system consists of three controls; a main control board; a remote user interface; and a remote temperature and humidity sensor. The system only requires the use of the main control board and the remote user interface to function. However, users have the following options to customize the control capabilities for their application: (See pg. 8 for description of control boards and optional sensors).

The Wine Guardian’s digital electronic controls are designed to control the operation of the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and optional humidifier. There also is pressure switch monitoring with a dry contact alarm output that will energize in the event of a pressure switch fault or a high/low temperature or humidity alarm. The remote user interface controls employ userfriendly, menu-driven programming features that can easily be accessed by holding the mode button on the control for five seconds. Once in the program menu, the user can scroll through the settings by pressing the mode button and can adjust each setting by using the up and down arrows.

The programming mode allows the user to customize features such as °F or °C temperature scale, high/low temperature and humidity alarm set points, an adjustable 0-10 minute compressor antishort cycle delay, sensor averaging options, enable or disable the defrost feature, differential and dead band adjustments, room temperature calibration, enable or disable the humidifier, and automatic or continuous fan option. To exit the programming mode the user may either hold the mode button for 5 seconds or the control will automatically store the settings and exit the programming mode after 10 seconds of inactivity. Each remote user interface control will also employ an ON/OFF button that turns the system on or off respectively.

Wine Guardian Controls

One-way communication: remote temp/humidity sensor reports temp and humidity readings to main control.

Temperature/Humidity Sensor: Can be used in conjunction with the Main

Control to report temp/humidity from inside the wine cellar without requiring a user interface to be located inside the wine cellar.

Main Control: Performs all switching functions and interfaces with inputs and outputs. It can connect to local or remote user interface, as well as remote temperature/humidity sensor.

Two way communications: remote user interface reports settings back to main control, main control energizes outputs and reports alarms and temp/humidity readings to remote user interface.

Default to 13 Deg C for 50Hz models

Remote User Interface: Can be used with Main Control for adjusting settings, reading temp/humidity, and reading fault codes in a remote location away from the unit.

Performing a Pre-installation Check

 Check for the properly sized breaker as dictated by the system rating plate data.

 Is the cabinet built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?

Locating the system

The Wine Guardian cabinet system can be mounted either above or below the cabinet. Coordinate supply and return air openings on the Wine Guardian System with that of the cabinet so that air is directed as needed in and out of the system without obstruction. Multiple condenser intake and exhaust locations provides flexibility in directing warm air in and out of the unit from ambient spaces. Gasket material is provided with the unit to assist in sealing the system to the cabinet enclosure.

Power cord location

The power cord is located at the side of the unit adjacent to the com port area. The Wine Guardian system ships complete with six (6) feet of 120 volt, 1phase, 6hz. removable power cord.

Evaporator Connections

Step 1 – locate supply and return opening penetrations at the cabinet ceiling (or floor if mounting unit below) and ensure the Wine Guardian system will fit location and match to the openings provided. If locations do not match to the openings at the Wine Guardian system then you may be required to install optional duct collars and ductwork to connect to the appropriate supply/return locations.

Step 2 - Top mount – place the foam gasket pad above the cabinet (on top of the ceiling) and position the openings in the gasket so that they coincide with the supply and return openings of the cabinet.

22

Bottom mount – re-locate the solid panels that cover the supply and return air openings on the top of the unit to the bottom of the unit. Next place the foam gasket on top of the Wine Guardian unit and align the two openings in the gasket with the supply and return openings on the unit.

Step 3 – Top mount – place the Wine Guardian system on top of the gasket and position the supply and return openings over the corresponding openings in the gasket so the penetrations line up with the cabinet.

Please note that you may need to adjust the position of the gasket and Wine Guardian system so that openings line up with each other and the cabinet structure.

Bottom mount – place the unit beneath the cabinet and adjust the position of the unit and gasket so that it lines up with the openings in the wine cabinet. Add shims or wooden supports under the unit so that the top of the Wine Guardian system is tight to the bottom of the cabinet and the gasket is compressed for a tight seal.

You may need to duct tape the inside of the opening between the wine cabinet, gasket and Wine Guardian unit so that the air way is sealed. This can be accomplished by applying the tape from inside of the cabinet.

Step 4 – Determine the ideal location to mount the Wine Guardian Remote Interface Controller within the wine cabinet and mark its mounting hole locations for future reference.

Step 5 - Route the RJ9 control cable provided with the Wine Guardian system from the cooling unit into the cabinet and to the location determined in step 4. Depending upon the construction of the cabinet you may need to drill a hole within the top or bottom of the cabinet to route the control wire to its controller location. Minimum hole diameter is 7/6” ( 2 cm) and the hole should be sealed once the wire has been installed. You may wish to hide the wire behind trim or in areas that are covered with lighting or racking.

Step 6 – install two screws at the mounting location of the Remote Interface Controller. Connect the RJ9 control wire to the back of the Remote Interface Controller and attach the controller to the cabinet at the screw locations by inserting them into the back of the controller and sliding the controller down so that it is seated.

Condenser Connections

Step 1 – Determine locations within the cabinet (front, side(s), top or back) where condenser air intake and exhaust will be connected. Optional duct collars and ductwork may be required for proper venting.

Step 2 – Condenser air intake can be connected at the top, front or back of the Wine Guardian cabinet system. Connect optional duct collar to one (1) of these three locations.

Step 3 – Connect 6” (15.24 cm) round ductwork to the duct collar and position the ductwork to the desired air intake location on the cabinet.

Step 4 – Condenser air exhaust can be connected at the top, front or back of the Wine Guardian cabinet system. Connect optional duct collar to one (1) of these three locations.

23

Step 5 - Connect 6” (15.24 cm) round ductwork to the duct collar and position the ductwork to the desired air exhaust location on the cabinet.

Turning on system

Step 1 - Plug the female end of the power cord into the connection at the Wine Guardian unit and the receptacle end into a 120 volt, 1 ph, 60 hz, (220 volt, 1 ph, 50 hz. for WGCAB25) dedicated circuit.

Installing the Optional Remote Interface Controller and

Communication Cable

The Wine Guardian Wireless-to-base Remote Interface

Controller is a combination temperature and humidity controller with single stage cooling, heating and humidity control. It’s capacitive touch screen incorporates an on/off switch, adjustment arrows and settings buttons for ease of use and programming. The controller can be installed one of two ways:

Wired (recommended)

– wired directly to the Wine Guardian unit through an RJ-9 communication cable. 50’ (15.25 meters) of control cable is included with each controller with longer lengths available as an option.

IMPORTANT

Whenever possible we strongly suggest wiring the Remote Interface Controller directly to the Wine Guardian unit to avoid periodic battery changes and uninterrupted service.

Wirelessly -

connects wirelessly to the Wine Guardian unit by Radio Frequency connectivity through one of twelve selectable channels.

IMPORTANT

Wireless installation may result in limited communication range and connectivity issues depending upon building construction and distance between Wine Guardian unit and Remote Interface Controller and/or

Remote Sensors.

The Wine Guardian Wireless-to-base Remote Interface Controller is a configurable device that can be fine-tuned through a series of individual settings. The controller incorporates eight (8) key temperature, humidity and system alarm points. Remote alarm indication is possible through terminal point connections at our main control board.

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 or a second wireless remote interface must be purchased and installed within the wine cellar.

Additional Remote Interface:

IMPORTANT

36

Regardless of wired or wireless each, Wine guardian System can have a maximum of two (2) Remote Interface

Controllers and three (3) Remote Sensors.

37

Additional Remote Interface:

If adding more than one remote interface to the system, you will have to change setting 30 at each remote user interface controller to define its use. Refer back to page 27 for instructions on how to access the interface Settings, and get to Setting 30 (shown on page 32).

Remote Sensor Pairing Instructions – Multiple Sensors (Wireless)

Fig. 1

If using multiple remote temperature/humidity sensors in your application, refer to the figures and the procedure below to change each remote sensor’s device number (Three Remote Sensors maximum). Each Remote Sensor must have its own device number and must also be on the same RF channel (Setting 31) as the system they are being paired with.

1.

To change the remote sensor’s device number, see the following instructions: a.

Use a pin to press the button for about half a second and release (Fig. 1).

b.

Observe the LED on the side of the remote sensor (Fig. 2).

The LED will flash once for a Device #1, twice for a #2, three times for a #3. At any time, while in this mode press the button once to change the device number. Once each remote sensor has its own unique device number simply wait for the LED to stop flashing and the setting will be saved.

2.

To change the remote sensor’s RF channel, see the following instructions:

NOTE: Check what RF Channel the System is set to using Setting 31 to more easily connect your Remote

Sensors.

a.

Use a pin to press the red button at the back of the Remote

Sensor for 5 seconds until the LED blinks rapidly then release the button. b.

The LED will flash a number of times to portray which RF channel it is set to and repeat a total of 3 times. c.

To change the RF channel, press the button once to increment the RF channel. There are 12 possible RF channels. All Remote Sensors will need to be on the same channel for the system to detect them. To save the RF channel setting simply wait for the mode to time out by not pressing the button.

Regulating the Cabinet Temperature

To keep the entire cabinet at the same temperature, set the thermostat to run the supply fan continuously, and not just when there is a call for cooling. Set Fan switch to ON instead of

AUTO, by accessing configuration setting # 7.

Maintenance

WARNING

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

INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE SAFETY CHAPTER OF THE WINE GUARDIAN MANUAL.

DANGER

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 removing end panels or cover.

CAUTION

SHARP EDGES

RISK OF SEROUS INJURY

SHARP EDGES ARE PRESENT ON THE FAN WHEELS, HOUSEING, INS AND COILS.

Maintenance on Wine Guardian system 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 system

CAUTION

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 system.

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 system may be required due to dust or dirt in the air stream.

44

Maintenance Schedule

Monthly

(Or quarterly depending on experience with individual cellar)

 Check for noise or vibration.

 Check for short-cycling of the system – a turning on and off of the compressor unit more than eight (8) times/hour.

Yearly

(In addition to monthly)

 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 system by vacuuming or wiping it down.

 Check for loose insulation, fasteners, gaskets or connections.

 Check the wiring connections and integrity or cords.

 Examine condenser duct (if option is used) for any cracks or breach.

45

High Pressure Switch Has Shut the System Down

Every Wine Guardian system has a manual reset high pressure switch in the refrigeration system.

This switch shuts the compressor and condenser down if the head pressure in the system is too high. It is intended to protect the compressor. Restricted airflow through the condenser is the most common reason for the pressure to become too high. This can be caused by dust covering the coil or an obstruction blocking the airflow in the duct or grille.

Possible Cause

Head pressure in unit is too high because an obstruction is restricting air flow through the unit.

Solution

Remove the obstruction in the duct or grille or clean the coil. Then restart the system after resetting the high-pressure switch.

Instructions to Reset High Pressure Switch

 Turn the Wine Guardian system off at the remote interface controller.

 Locate the high pressure reset switch behind the circular black plastic cove at the condenser side of the system. The switch has a red push button and is accessible by removing the plastic cover.

 Locate red push and push in the button until it locks into position.

 Replace circular black plastic cover.

 Restart the unit at the control panel remote interface controller.

Alarm Annunciation

When an alarm condition occurs, the control will flash the backlight on the display in addition to annunciating the actual fault on the screen. The user can make the backlight flashing stop by pressing a button on the local user interface. However, the alarm annunciation will not actually clear on the display until the fault is corrected.
