Feature Description • • • • • VINO1500CD, CTED and VINO2500CD, CTED cooling units are designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 50~65 °F for suitable space at a normal environment. The refrigerated space will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when the environment becomes dry and humid. These temperatures and humilities are optimized for long term storage of wine. Multiple exhaust for top and rear hot air exhaust Self-contained ready for use and easy for installation Fig. 1.

Installation Instruction 1. Location • • Place the wine cellar in a properly ventilated location. Otherwise, heat exhausted by the cooling unit will build up and it will not operate properly. The exhaust area must not be closed space and must be ventilated. 1) Rear Exhaust • Leave min 6 “clearance from the rear to the wall. • Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling. • Leave min 6” clearance from the left and right sides.
Fig. 2.2 TOP EXHAUST GASKET • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Cut a rectangular opening with the ¼” clearance at the rear of wine cabinet to the width and height of the cooling unit. If top exhaust, cut a rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust openings. Mount the gaskets on the four mounting sides. If top exhaust, place the gaskets along the top openings at the top of the cooling unit. Place the cooling unit to a flat and stable place.
Temperature & Humidity Control 1. Temperature Setting • • • • Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine Set the temperature higher at very high ambient temperature. On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting and surrounding temperature. Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature setting operation 2. Use of the controller Fig. 3.
1.2 Front Panel Commands 2) Alarm Signals 2.1 Code Description 2.2 Alarm Recovery Probe alarms P1”, start a few seconds after the fault in the related probe; they automatically stop a few seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms “HA”, “LA” automatically stops as soon as the temperature returns to normal value. Alarm “CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument. 3) Temperature Set-Point 3.
1. Push the SET key for more than 3 seconds to change the Set point value; 2. The value of the set point will be displayed and the “°C” or “°F” LED starts blinking; 3. To change the Set value, push the o or n arrows within 10s. 4. To memorize the new set point value, push the SET key again or wait 10s. 4) Humidity Adjustment 1. Press the Set + keys for 3 sec. (the “°C” or “°F” LED starts blinking). 2.
