Product Introduction

５
Traditional Chinese knot design air grille, better heat dissipation.
Working Principle
1.Refrigeration
Using cycling vapor compression refrigeration system,when the compressor work, indraft low temperature and
pressure refrigerant gas from evaporator, compressed by compressor into high temperature and pressure gas,
and then into the condenser to condense into liquid, meantime release heat, after throttling under the function of
the thermal expansion valve, entering into the evaporator and absorbed heat,then evaporate into gas, finally
back to the compressor through the suction tube and complete a refrigeration cycle ; On the other hand,through
changing of refrigerant flow direction, total or partial condensing heat generated from refrigeration can be
exhausted to outside,to achieve the purpose of adjusting the indoor temperature.
2. Dehumidification Principle
When the wet air flows through the evaporator surface, the air temperature will drop, when it falls below the dew
point,the steam in the air will condense out, gathering and drainage of water pipes in the receiving plate, the
controller automatically adjusts the compressor start-up time according to the setting humidity , so as to achieve
the purpose of adjusting humidity.
3. Heating（Only HSN-J15-Z）
Inside PTC heater-Electric heating compensation
4.Humidification (Only HSN-J15-Z)
Adopt circulating water wet-film auto control humidification system, water was spurted to the room area under
large air volume to achieve the purpose of humidifying ，the wet film is made of Swedish organic polymer
material with sterilization and disinfection function.

Installation
Disconnect electric power from the appliance before performing any
maintenance or repairs,failure to do so could result in death or electrical
shock.
Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it will be a
related national standard LISTED 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a 3- blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be
220V 15A.

Wine Cabinet Installation Conditions
1. Place the wine cabinet in a properly ventilation location. Otherwise, heat exhausted by the cooling unit will
build up and it will not operate properly.
2. Equipment should install on horizontal ground or platform, tilt angle must not exceed one degrees, platform or
ground should be able to load-bearing unit weight;
3. To keep good ventilation and easy maintenance,requires that the wine cabinet grill can be flexibly
disassembled.
4. Never install the unit in danger areas,such as strong magnetic,steam,dust,heating source,corrosion and
combustible gases etc.
5. Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is critical to unit’s overall performance and lifespan, make sure there
is a minimum of 50mm(100mm is better) of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit.
6. Before install the unit, foam tape needs to be placed in the bottom and side of the unit.
7. Working environment: Temperature 5℃-35℃，Humidity RH<80%
8. Recommend air duct: A- Heat-insulating phenolic board, thickness 15~20mm
B- Stainless steel duct, 20mm insulation
9. If the back of the wine cabinet is close to the wall,and there is no space to reserve vents. Please make sure
left intake air vents at the two sides of the condensing intake air, and the larger the better. Meantime, keep at
least 100mm of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit.
10. To better control the wet-film water inlet flow rate, electromagnetic water valve and ball valve are suggested
to be installed. Otherwise, the water will always be supplied to the machine in a normally open state, which will
cause the equipment to leak and fail to operate. （HSN-J15-Z）
The reference range of valve adjustment opening under the standard pressure of J15-Z is as follows:
Note: Make sure the smooth drainage too.
In order to avoid fire or electric shock hazard, please do not
expose the equipment to damp environment.

Online Debugging
Note: Always operate this machine from a 220V 1 phase or 3-phase 380V, 50Hz power source, and the
fluctuation amplitude does not exceed 10%, the junction box capacity meets the equipment electrical using
requirements; Take reference to the internal electrical schematic diagram of the unit, connect the indoor unit and
outdoor unit, and ensure that the unit is effectively grounded.
1.) Power the machine.
2.) Set the operation mode, temperature and humidity (For setting methods, please check the operation section
of the controller in the user manual)
3.) Humidity setting value is 95% (higher than the ambient humidity) and temperature is set at 8 ℃(lower than
the ambient temperature), the setting operation mode is auto. Then cooling, heating and humidification will be
calling automatically according to the setting value.
4.) Keep the machine running at least 30 minutes.
After the machine runs for 30 minutes:
1. Check the alarm record. If all functions work well, no alarm record will be generated.
2. Check the machine for leaks. In case of leakage, first check whether the drainage is smooth. If so, reduce the
opening of the ball valve to reduce the inlet water pressure. Run the machine for half an hour again and check
whether the leakage problem is solved.
3. Check whether the temperature is lower than that when the machine is started. Generally, the coil temperature
is reduced by 5-14℃as the normal range.
4. Check whether the humidity is higher or the same as when the machine is turned on.
5. If the cooling, heating and humidification of the equipment can operate normally and there is no water leakage,
the debugging work is completed.
Note: After transportation or moved, it needs to be allowed to stand for more than 24 hours before it can be
turned on.
