Wine Guardian Wine Cellar Cooling Systems 50Hz (WG 175) - Manual (Page 25)

Mounting the Unit
CAUTION
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 the mounting illustrations on pages 32 and 33 before mounting the unit.
Floor Mounting
Mount the Wine Guardian on the floor but elevate it on frame with a plywood surface to keep
it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.
Wall Mounting
If the unit is mounted through the wall, adequately support it on both sides of the wall. Use
floor or knee braces to transfer the load of the unit to the floor or wall.
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.
Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is supported on all for corners. Leave ad-
equate space on the top of the unit to remove the access doors for service.
In all cases the unit must be level to within +/- 6mm end-to-end and +/- 3mm 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. The addition of 6mm
thick rubber pads helps prevent the transmission of vibration and noise.
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 set point of the thermostat. If the
vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excess moisture is in the basement, the
unit has to remove excessive amounts of moisture from the wine cellar. The moisture appears in
the condensate drain of the unit.
Note
If moisture becomes excessive, install a room type dehumidifier to dehumidify the basement
so as to not overload your Wine Guardian.
