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, 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. Installation of the system must be done in accordance
with all state and local building codes.
The condensing unit and evaporator unit are connected by a liquid line and an
insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be
properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines
are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found,
evacuate and charge system with R134A. Refrigerant amount will vary
depending on the length of line set.
1. Condensing Unit
• Place the condensing units WM-150SCU and 250SCU 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.
• Leave minimum 5 feet clearance for the exhaust side and leave minimum
1 foot clearance for the fresh air intake side.
• 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 45 °F (optional low ambient kit for 20 °F).
2. Evaporator Unit
5. Pressure, Superheat and Subcooling Readings
NOTES: THE VALVES MUST BE IN THE MIDDLE POSITIONS TO READ
PROPERLY.

8. Use of the adjustable low pressure control (if applicable)
Cut out = 5 psig; Cut in = 25 psig; Differential = 20 psig
It may need to adjust the setting in the field to get the right cycle time.

9. Condensing Unit Troubleshooting
Unit not running
a. Incorrect power supply
b. Incorrect or loose wirings
c. Failed components
a. Check for proper voltage
b. Check all wirings and connections
c. Check start relay, start capacitor, overload
protector, compressor.
d. Liquid refrigerant in the compressor
d. Call service for OEM information
e. Low pressure switch shutting down the system e. Check for system restriction or low
refrigerant
