Insulation CellarPro cooling units are designed to be installed inside wine cellars that have proper insulation, moisture barriers and an airtight seal from the environment outside the cellar. Interior walls and floor should have a minimum of R-11 insulation, and a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation. The ceiling should have a minimum of R-19 insulation and a vapor barrier on the warm side of the insulation.
Outside the Cellar Condensing unit Air Exhaust. Condensing units create significant hot air which must be exhausted into an appropriately-sized space in order for the heat to dissipate. If the space is constrained and/or too small, the heat will not dissipate. In this event, the cooling unit will be forced to re-circulate its hot air exhaust and/or the static pressure will back up the cooling unit. If this happens, the cooling unit’s ability to create cold air inside the cellar will be compromised.
III. Installation Instructions Installation Instructions Split System piping and wiring must be installed by a qualified Refrigeration Technician in accordance with local and national code requirements. Condensing Unit Installation Indoor and Outdoor Units The unit is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 110°F. A compressor heater (sold separately) is required for temperatures below 40°F.
3000S / 4000S Side mounting brackets are provided for mounting the evaporator flush to a wall inside the cellar. Optional top and bottom brackets (non-load bearing) are available upon request.
3000Sh / 4000Sh / 6000S / 8000S Wall hangers are used to mount these split systems. First, wall brackets are attached to the wall, and then the evaporator slides onto the brackets. After the evaporator is installed, two bottom nuts must be installed on the recessed anchor studs.
Condensate Drain Line The condensate drain line should drop, then rise (but stay below the height of the fitting), and then drop again into a drain or bucket. Then, fill the trap with water. The condensate trap will allow any excess moisture inside the Evaporator to overcome the static pressure and flow out of the drain line.

System Wiring – Option A: Dual Power / Valve Control Under this configuration the Evaporator and Condensing units are separately powered, and the Condensing unit turns on and off based on suction pressure, as follows: The Evaporator includes a factory installed liquid line solenoid valve (LLSV), which is controlled by the Evaporator temperature controller. The Condensing unit is controlled by a low pressure switch which reacts to the suction pressure and senses whether the LLSV is open or closed.

Installing Refrigeration Lines The Evaporator and Condensing units should be piped according to the following piping schematic: Piping Legend 1. The 3/8"ODS liquid service valve is located on the Condensing unit. 2. Hermetic liquid line filter drier (shipped loose). Install with the directional flow arrow as shown. 3. Liquid line sight glass with moisture indicator (shipped loose). 4. Liquid line refrigeration piping in accordance with Line Sizing Chart. 5.
transitions. Transitions should be made as close to the unit as possible. Suction line routing must be designed to ensure oil return to the Condensing unit.
1. When the evaporator and condensing unit are located on the same level, arrange the suction line slightly downward to the condensing unit, as follows: 2. When the evaporator is located below the condensing unit, a suction trap must be installed at the evaporator, and an inverted trap must be installed at the condensing unit, for proper oil return, as follows: 3.
Evacuation, Leak Detection, and Charging Once the piping is installed, the following steps should be performed to ensure a dry and leak-free system: 1. The Condensing unit is pre-charged with compressor oil. To avoid moisture contamination of the oil, do not leave the service valves open to atmosphere for more than 15 minutes. 2. Open the liquid and suction service valves on the condensing unit. 3. a.
7. Warm the bottom shell of the compressor above the ambient temperature for 30 minutes to drive excess refrigerant out of the compressor oil. Connect power to the Evaporator and Condensing unit, and activate the system. Check that the sight glass is clear when the compressor is running. The condensing temperature must be above 105°F (135.0 PSIG) when inspecting for a clear sight glass.
Installation Tips and Guidelines When brazing copper tubing to the service valves, use 95/5 solder and soldering flux. Do not use silver solder because it requires higher heat that will damage the service valves. Make sure all electrical connections are secure. Inspect Evaporator and Condensing unit fans to confirm airflow. shouldn’t be any excessive vibration, noise or obstructions to airflow.

To access the advanced settings, do the following: Press the “Set” button and the “Down” button together at the same time, and hold for three seconds.
V. Troubleshooting Improper installation, inadequate insulation, or a cellar that is too large will cause the cooling unit to run continuously and be difficult to troubleshoot. The cooling unit is designed to turn on when the air temperature in the cellar rises ABOVE the Minimum Set Point + Temperature Differential, and turn off when the air temperature falls below the Minimum Set Point.
Other Troubleshooting Issues Issue No cooling: no refrigerant flow. If the "snowflake" icon is illuminated on the temperature display control, the liquid line solenoid should be energized and the compressor running. Possible Causes No power to liquid solenoid valve coil Solenoid coil failure No power to compressor High pressure safety shutdown / high discharge pressure (Cont.
Issue No cooling: Evaporator fan not blowing. If the "fan" icon is illuminated on the temperature display control, the fan should be blowing air. Possible Causes No power to fan Fan obstructed Fan running but not drawing air through coil. Potential Solutions Power supply to Evaporator interrupted. Restore power. Power supply to fan interrupted: loose wire. Inspect for loose fan wiring and reconnect. With power to unit disconnected, check the rotation of the blower fan.
Maintenance The condenser coils on the Condensing unit will collect dust, dirt and lint over time. If the condenser coils become clogged, the cooling unit will not have proper airflow and its performance and longevity will be compromised. The condenser coils themselves also can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner – ideally with a brush attachment to loosen dust caught between the fins.
