INSIDE THE CELLAR
(At the front of the cooling unit)
Evaporator Air Intake. CellarPro cooling units should be mounted at the highest
point inside wine cellars, so that warm air – which rises – will be the first to pass
over the evaporator coils, which are located behind the grill on the face of the
cooling unit. When the warm air passes across the evaporator coils, heat is
removed the air, and the resulting cold air is exhausted into the cellar. To ensure
proper airflow, minimum clearance of 12” is required in front of the cooling unit.
Evaporator Air Exhaust. Cold air is exhausted at the top front of the cooling
unit. Because CellarPro cooling units are located at the highest point inside wine
cellars, the cold air exhaust eventually will drop to the bottom of the cellar. To
ensure proper airflow and reduce temperature stratification inside the cellar, the
space in front of the cold air discharge should be clear of any obstructions,
including wine bottles, wine racks, etc. Venting on cold side direct into a wall will cause
“short cycling” and ineffective cooling of the space. For situations where it is not
possible to mount the cooling unit near the ceiling, the cold air exhaust can be
converted to top vent by interchanging the front air louvers and top vent plate.
Ducting. CellarPro 6200VS and 8200VS units allow the evaporator air intake
and exhaust each to be ducted up to 50 equivalent feet with 10” diameter
ducting. We offer a front duct kit (sold separately) that attaches to the front of
the cooling unit. We also offer a remote control panel kit that can be installed
remotely (up to 10 feet) from the cooling unit, either inside or outside the cellar,
and a bottle probe (10 foot cord) that can be plugged into the cooling unit.
・ Power Requirements
CellarPro cooling systems should be plugged into a dedicated non-GFI outlet
connected to a 15-amp circuit. The cooling units use approximately 8.4A (6200VS-
ECX), 10.1A (6200VS-ECC), 9.7A (8200VS-ECX) and 11.4A (8200VS-ECC) amps
during their “on” cycle.
A number of variables, including the minimum set point, the temperature in the
ambient environment, the insulation of the cellar, and the thermal mass inside
the cellar, will affect the cooling unit’s runtime. It is normal for the cooling unit
to run up to 75 percent of the time in order to maintain proper cellar conditions.
Select a power receptacle (Front or Rear) and plug the provided power cord
into that receptacle. Plug the other end of the power cord into a dedicated 15
amp circuit. A surge-protected circuit is recommended. Set the power selector
switch to energize the appropriate receptacle used (Front or Rear).
The power cord provided for the model 6200VSi and 8200VSi is approved for
indoor use only, while the power cord for model 6200VSx and 8200VSx may be
used both for indoor or outdoor applications.
