Installer’s Instruction 

Federal law requires that CELLARTEC split cooling systems be 

installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician. 

 
CELLARTEC 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. Apex 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 and electrical 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. Refrigerant amount will vary depending on the 
length of line set. 
 

1. Condensing Unit 
 

  Water must be supplied to WM250-650SCU-WC at all times during 

operation, with the maximum outlet temperature of 120 

°

F. A sufficient 

amount of water must be provided for proper cooling.  

  If water pressure is excessive, a pressure reducing valve must be used 

since the condenser should not be exposed to operating pressure in 
excess of 150 PSIG.  

  Condensing unit shall be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded 

from direct sun. The location shall be adequately ventilated and shall not 
be subject to freezing temperatures.
