3. Mounting
• The unit must be mounted on a floor or slab that is level and strong enough to
support up to 300lb.
• There are six ½” bolts required to secure the unit base.
• There is a gravity drain system used, so the unit shall be installed level or with
a slight slope downward the drain connection and the drain line shall be
installed slope down toward the drain.
4. Temperature Controller and Air Probe
• The temperature controller can be mounted inside or outside the wine cellar,
but the air probe must be located inside the wine cellar or the return duct.
• The air probe shall be located in the wine cellar 5 ft above the floor or the air
return area, but it shall not be located in the air supply area or other areas
where air is not circulated.
• Air probe can be pulled out of the temperature controller around 5 ft; if
additional wires are needed, 18 gauge wires may be used to extend the air
probe.
• If the air probe is installed in a return duct, the evaporator fans shall be
running all the time. Meanwhile due to the temperature differential the air
probe calibration should be used in order to maintain the proper wine cellar
temperature.
5. Insulated Duct and Drain Line Installation
• Secure the ducts with conduits to the cellar exterior walls and make sure they
are not curled, twisted, bent and clogged.
• Hook up the drain line. If rise-up of the drain line is needed, a condensation
pump must be used.
Model No Insulated Duct Drain Line Total Maximum Length
WM-4500DS 8” DIA 7/8” OD 50 FT
WM-6500DS 10” DIA 7/8” OD 50 FT
WM-8500DS 10” DIA 7/8” OD 50 FT
6. Intake and Exhaust Guards
• If the intake and exhaust are located outdoor, protection guards may be
required.
7. Field Wiring (see the electrical wiring diagrams)
• Use minimum 14 AWG wires for electrical connections.
• Connect the wires in the outlet box of the condensing unit to the power lines.
• Connect the wires in the outlet box of the evaporator unit to the temperature
controller and then connect the controller to the power lines.
