Initial Start-Up
When power is applied to the unit, the control will briefly
display all symbols, and the Snow Flake symbol will
be displayed (if unit is calling for cooling). There may
be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on,
as the fan will not turn on until the evaporator probe
temperature drops below 70°F. When the evaporator
fan is activated the Fan symbol will be displayed. The
temperature control feature for the evaporator fan is a
feature applicable to WhisperKOOL. This is the Advance
Product Safety Technology (APST), which ensures that in
the possible event of a cooling deficiency, the heat from
the indoor fan will not raise the temperature of the wine
cellar, which could otherwise have an adverse effect on
the wine aging process.
Normal System Cycle
After the Bottle probe has reached the set point (all units
are shipped with the set point of 55°F and a differential
of 1°F), the compressor and the condenser fan will turn
off, but the indoor fan will continue to run for about 5
minutes, which is a feature of the WhisperKOOL Humidity
Management (WHM) system. The WHM is an adjustable
feature which allows the customer the convenience
of managing the humidity enhancement of their wine
cellar. The WHM is one of the many Customer Preference
Selection features which allow the customer the ability to
fine tune the controls.
Anti Short Cycle
The Anti Short Cycle ensures that the unit will remain off
for a period of 5 minutes after the unit has reached the
set point to prevent short cycling of the compressor.
Anti Frost Cycle
The Anti Frost Cycle is a precautionary measure, as icing
or frosting of the coil does not occur during normal
operation. The system will go through a defrost cycle
every 4 hours. During the defrost cycle, the indoor fan
will provide air flow across the indoor coil, which will
evaporate any frost accumulation.
Low Ambient Conditions
If the condensing unit is installed outside (which will
allows the condenser to be exposed to low ambient
temperatures), the condenser fan may cycle on and
off. The purpose of the fan cycling is to maintain the
system high side pressure, which will ensure an adequate
refrigeration process.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection
In the event that a Bottle probe should fail, the APST
(Advance Product Safety Technology) will automatically
transition the Refrigeration Compressor cycles to a pre-
determined time series (based on detailed laboratory
testing), which will ensure that the product is kept within
the safe range.
Remote Control Panel (standard on ducted units)
The remote keypad is designed to give the user the
ability to monitor and change cellar conditions when the
evaporating unit is placed in a remote location outside of
the cellar.
