INTRODUCTION
Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL cooling system. We strive to provide the highest-quality products and the best
possible customer service. If you have any questions about your system, please call us at 1-800-343-9463 or visit
WhisperKOOL.com.
Using the Manual
This owner’s manual is intended to assist in the proper maintenance of the cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of
your cooling unit, the equipment should be installed as outlined in the technician’s manual. It is also vital to establish a proper
care and maintenance schedule. Please read and review this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
What is the WhisperKOOL Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL cooling system is a specialized refrigeration system designed for one purpose only: to maintain the optimal
temperature and humidity levels conducive to the proper storage and aging of ne wines. This system produces minimal in-cellar
noise and has the most lenient exhaust requirements. An exterior housing is required for outdoor Condensing Unit installations.
How Does the Cooling System Work?
Similar to the air conditioning systems used for homes, the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and Condensing Units are installed
in separate locations and are connected by a refrigerant line set. The evaporator portion is commonly installed in the wine
cellar, with the Condensing Unit is located either outside or in a remote indoor location that is ventilated. An exterior housing is
required for outdoor Condensing Unit installations.
Temperature Setting
The system is designed to maintain a cellar temperature of 55°F as long as the ambient temperature does not exceed 110°F.

BEFORE YOU START
1-800-343-9463
1. Inspect all components prior to installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL Customer
Service at 1-800-343-9463.
2. The Evaporator Unit and Condensing Unit each require a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with the
unit. Do not use a GFI (ground fault interrupter) line.
3. The Evaporator Unit and Condensing Unit require no communication lines unless the system is equipped with a Cold Weather
Start Kit. If the system is equipped with a Cold Weather Start Kit, a low-voltage 18-2 thermostat wire will need to be run
between the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and the Condensing Unit.
4. You are REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit).
5. The warranty is not active until a Warranty Checklist has been received, reviewed, and approved.
6. The system is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars. Hire a professional wine storage
consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine cellar.
7. WhisperKOOL requires that all split systems be installed by a certified HVAC-R technician only. NATE or equivalent is
recommended.

Pump Down Cycle
WhisperKOOL’s split systems operate on a pump down cycle dierent from traditional air conditioners. As such, there is no wiring
between the Condensing Unit and Evaporator Unit. (However, if the system is equipped with a Cold Weather Start Kit, it will
require two 24-volt wires running from the Evaporator Unit to the Condensing Unit.)
WhisperKOOL units utilize a solenoid valve on the liquid line and a low-pressure switch on the suction line. When the thermostat
calls for cooling, the solenoid valve opens, permitting the ow of refrigerant. The low-pressure switch then signals the compressor
to cycle on.
When the cellar reaches the desired temperature and the thermostat is satised, the solenoid will close, stopping the liquid
refrigerant ow to the TXV valve. The Compressor will continue to operate until most of the refrigerant on the low side boils o
and is pumped through the compressor into the condenser coil and receiver. As the suction pressure falls below the pressure
control setting, the low-pressure switch will signal the compressor to cycle o. Most of the refrigerant is now stored between the
condensing unit and receiver.
Cold Weather Start Kit
If you are installing a unit equipped with the optional cold weather start kit, run two low-voltage wires from the Evaporator Unit to
the Condensing Unit.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ground Fault Interrupter
WARNING: Do not utilize a ground fault interrupter, as it will prevent the unit from drawing
the necessary amperage to start the unit.
QUICK START GUIDE
TXV Adjustments
A. A TXV adjustment may be necessary based on ambient temperatures in the cellar and at the condensing unit.
B. Adjust the TXV until the superheat is between 8-12°F degrees.
C. Under normal operation, with the wine cellar at 55°F and the ambient temperature at 85°F, the low side pressure should be
between 28-32 PSI and the high side should be between 170-180 PSI.

an appropriate drain location. No tee is
required if draining through the bottom of the
unit.
NOTE: The fitting should be placed
vertically with the 3” cutout facing
up.
Failure to install the drain line
voids the warranty.
To prevent mold from growing,
allow the drain line to hang
above the water line.
WRONG: Drain line is under water.
DRAIN LINE
Drain Line
All systems come with a drain line for additional removal of excessive condensate (moisture produced by the process of
condensation). It is mandatory that you install the drain line, whether it leads through the wall and out of the cellar or remains
inside the cellar. During operation, the cooling system will strip excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of
humidity within the cellar. However, in extreme humidity, additional condensate will be removed; thus the drain line will
prevent overflow and leakage by discharging the excess condensate.
Condensation Drain Line
The condensation drain line tube moves excess condensation from the Evaporator Unit ( Fan Coil Unit) to a proper discharge
location. It is important for the drain line tube to be properly connected in order to prevent leakage and other problems associ-
ated with excess condensation.
Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.

2. Using ¼”and ½”copper tubing, route the liquid and suction lines through the knockouts in the housing. Be sure to extend
the tubing far enough outside of the housing to extend through the wall if necessary. Note: ½” copper tubing will slip over
the ⁄” suction line on the evaporator for an easy connection.
3. Remove the solenoid coil and wrap the solenoid valve in a wet rag to prevent overheating.
4. To prevent oxidation, purge the system with nitrogen.
5. Braze the copper tubing to the connections on the Evaporator Unit.
6. Insulate the suction line using Armaex or similar insulation.
7. Cut a short piece of ½” drain line and connect a half-inch 90° barb tting to the drain line.
8. Route the drain line out of the housing through the hole for the drain line. Use the second 90° barb tting if going through
the bottom of the housing. Be sure to extend the tubing far enough outside the housing to pass through the wall if
necessary.
9. Using the cable ties and cable tie mounts provided, secure the drain line to the bottom of the housing to ensure a
downward slope.
10. Route the power supply wires and the circular connector from the 50-ft bottle probe into the unit through the knockout for
the electrical.
11. Remove the wire nuts from the black, white, and green wires located in the lower left corner of the Evaporator Unit.
12. Following the supplied wiring diagram, connect the power supply wires to the black, white, and green wires using the
supplied wire nuts.
13. Connect the bottle probe to the circular connector located in the lower left side of the housing. Follow the directions on
page 33 for correct installation and placement of the bottle probe.
14. Install the supplied black strain relief to secure the power supply wires and bottle probe wire in the housing.
15. Route the communication cable from the remote keypad into the evaporator housing.
16. Connect the communication cable to the circular connector located in the lower left corner of the housing.
17. Secure all wiring neatly and as close to the left wall as possible in order to minimize airow obstruction.
18. See page 14 for drain line routing instructions.

KEYPAD:
The Ceiling Mount Evaporator Unit comes equipped with a communication cable. Please review this section for installation.
NOTE: Fifty feet (50’) of communication cable is included. One end of the communication cable terminates in a circular connector
and the other end is bare. Connect the circular connector to its counterpart and the bare end as indicated in the diagram below.
Route the communication cable from the Evaporator Unit to the desired keypad location. Remove the wall mount bracket from
the keypad housing. Using appropriate anchors or fasteners, secure the wall mount bracket to the wall (see Fig. 1 below). If
routing the communication cable through a wall, connect the wires to the back of the keypad as depicted in the image above.
Connect the red wire to the upper (+) terminal. Connect the black wire to the lower (-) terminal. If the communication cable is
not routed through the wall, remove the plug in the side of the keypad housing. Route the cable through the hole and connect
to the back of the keypad as shown above. Then mount the keypad assembly over the wall mount bracket and secure it with the
two provided screws (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
