Important Safety Information WARNING: • DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI). • A DEDICATED 20 OR 30 AMP CIRCUIT IS REQUIRED (1500-4500SSL OR 6500SSL).
Features and Specifications • • • • • Wine-Mate split cooling systems VINO1500~6500SSL are designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated wine room at a normal environment. The wine room 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.
CAUTION: LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE KIT IS REQUIRED IF THE INSTALLATION AREA WILL BE BELOW 50°F. CAUTION: LIQUID AND SUCTION LINES MAY DIFFER FROM WHAT ARE SHOWN HERE, PLEASE CHECK ON THE UNITS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION. NOTE: LEAVE MINIMUM 3” CLEARANCE FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING AND REFRIGERATION PIPING. Parts included: Condensing Unit (discharge and suction valves installed) + Liquid Filter + Liquid Indicator Evaporator Unit (liquid line solenoid valve and expansion valve installed) Temperature Controller (4.5”LX4.

Cellar Construction This is only a guide and shall be considered as minimum requirements. All interior walls and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R11 insulation. All exterior walls and ceiling shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R19 insulation. The vapor barrier shall be installed on the warm side of the insulation.
Installer’s Instruction Federal law requires that WINE-MATE split cooling systems be installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician. WINE-MATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed, evacuated, charged and tested the system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp can only warrant the quality of the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be warranted by the installer.
1. Condensing Unit • • • Place the condensing units WM150~650SCU in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat exhausted by the condensing unit will build up and the cooling system will not operate properly. Condensing unit shall be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded from direct sun. It shall not be exposed to temperatures higher than 110 °F or lower than 50 °F (optional low ambient kit available).
1 - Process & Manometer; 2 – Receiver Discharge or Compressor Suction 3 – Liquid Line or Suction Line; 4 - Pressure Control 3. Evaporator Unit • • • The WM15~65SFCL evaporator units shall be installed for ceiling mount with the air supply towards horizontally and air return on the bottom. Supply air flow shall be unobstructed for at least 12” for free installation or 2” for deflector installation and return air shall be unobstructed for 6”.
3) Both discharge and suction valves must be in the middle positions during evacuating and charging. 4) Charge the system after pipe brazing, leak testing and evacuating. Liquid must always be charged into the hide side. 5) The subcooling at the condensing unit shall be around 10°F. The charge may be complete when there are no more bubbles forming in the liquid indicator. 6) Head pressure range: 125 ~ 150 psig at 70 ~ 90 °F condensing unit ambient temperature.
6. Use of the adjustable pressure control (if applicable for pump-down) Suction pressure setting: Cut out=5 psig; Cut in=25 psig; Differential=20 psig Head pressure setting: Cut out=230 psig; Cut in=150 psig; Differential=80 psig It may need to adjust the setting in the field to get the right cycle time.

7. Use of the encapsulated pressure control (if applicable) Fixed suction pressure setting: Cut in = 32 psig; Cut out = 10 psig Fig. 13 Fixed Pressure Control 8. Use of the condenser fan control (if applicable for low ambient kit) Head pressure setting: Cut in=170 psig; Cut out=120 psig; Differential=50 psig It closes on rise of pressure. It may need to adjust the setting in the field to avoid fan short cycle. 9.

Temperature Control & Humidity Adjustment 1. Temperature Setting • • • Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine 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 1. Use of the controller Fig. 18 Digital Controller (4.25”L X 3.75D X 4.

5) Parameter Programming 1. Press the SET + keys for 3 sec until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts blinking, then release the keys. 2. Press again the SET + keys for more than 7sec until the Pr2 label will be displayed, then release the keys. The first parameter Hy will be displayed. 3. Press up/down keys / to select 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. 7.
Care Guide In general, always unplug system or disconnect power while doing care. 1. Coil Cleaning • • • • Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. Unplug the system or disconnect power. Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty. Plug cooling system or reconnect power. 2. Moisture Removing • Remove the extra condensate if it is accumulated in the wine cellar at high ambient temperature and humidity.
