Features and Specifications • • • • • • • WM-1500CD, CTED and WM-2500CD, CTED cooling units are designed and used to provide a subtle temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated wine cabinet. The refrigerated space will maintain humidity range within 50~70% RH. These temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long term storage of wine. Temperature is controlled and humidity is adjusted using patented technology. Bottom cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wine cabinets.
Fig. 1.2 DIMENSIONS (in) The specifications and dimensions are listed as follows: CFM Cabinet Size (cu ft) Electrical Weight(lb) 120 90 115V/60Hz/4A 50 Top Exhaust 120 90 115V/60Hz/4A 50 WM-2500cd Rear Exhaust 180 200 115V/60Hz/5A 55 180 200 115V/60Hz/5A 55 Model Exhaust WM-1500cd Rear Exhaust WM1500cted WM2500cted Top Exhaust NOTES: • Also see the voltage, frequency and current specified on the label at the cooling unit.
Installation Instructions NOTES: • Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included. • Do not install any ducts onto the supply, return, intake and exhaust. • There is a grommet on the power cord and it must be installed properly, otherwise hot air may enter into the cabinet. • We strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
Fig. 2.1 CUTOUT AND HOLE DIMENSIONS • • • • The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cabinet, meanwhile it also generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cabinet. So the cold-air supply with return-air intake and hot-air exhaust with ambient-air side must be separated and sealed. Foam tape gasket may be used to seal them. The cooling unit must intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must not be short-circulated.
• • • • • • • • Place the gaskets (1/2” foam tape) on the gasket lips (see Fig. 2.5). If top exhaust, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the top of the cooling unit (see Fig. 2.6). Move the cooling unit towards the mounting sides and push to press the gaskets. Use 2 mounting brackets and 1/4” screws with 7/16” wrench to secure the cooling unit (see Fig. 2.7). Attach the exhaust wall grille with screws from the rear side of the cabinet (see Fig. 2.8).

Temperature and Humidity 1. The controller Fig. 3.1 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER 1) Keys SET: To display set-point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or confirms an operation. : To start a manual defrost. : To see the maximum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or increases the displayed value. : To see the minimum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or decreases the displayed value. : To turn on/off the power to the unit.
4) Alarm Signals The alarm codes are described as follows.
6. Parameter Programming 1) Press and hold the SET + keys until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts flashing, then release the keys. 2) Press and hold again the SET + keys until the Pr2 label is displayed, then release the keys. The first parameter Hy will be displayed. 3) Press up/down keys / to scroll to the required parameter within 10 sec. 4) Press the “SET” key to display its value. 5) Use up/down keys to change its value within 10 sec. 6) Press “SET” to store the new value and the display will flash 3 times.
In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 4 and MdF = 20 can be used to avoid frost. 9. How to adjust the humidity The parameter Fon is used to adjust the humidity in the wine cellar. Higher Fon results in higher relative humidity. Use a separate hygrometer to monitor the humidity. 10. How to set alarm call 1) Speech notice will be sent to your phones when the cellar temperature is ALU higher or ALL lower than the set-point Set.
Care Guide 1. Cleaning Condenser • • • Clean the condenser regularly at least every 6 months. Condenser is located on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit. Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser. 2. Removing Condensate Remove the excessive condensate if it is accumulated on the cooling unit in high humidity conditions. 3. Removing Unit When you remove the cooling unit, beware water may come out of the unit.
