Installation of the Optional Wine Guardian Remote Sensor
The wireless remote sensor is a combination temperature and humidity
sensor only. It is designed to be mounted within the wine cellar and can
be used in combination with the remote interface controller or up to two
additional remote sensors to read and control multiple areas within the
wine cellar.
For a wired application you will require a RJ-9 communication cable.

1.
Disconnect the communication cable from the back of
the Wine Guardian unit and the remote sensor. Route
the communication cable within the wall and/or ceiling
structure of the wine cellar to the desired controller
mounting location.
2.
Plan on mounting the remote sensor on a solid surface
away from doors, corners, air outlets, drafts or heat
generating equipment. Do not mount the remote sensor
directly on an outside wall, a wall adjacent to a boiler
room, or other hot area. Use a piece of foam insulation
behind the sensor to insulate it from a hot or cold
surface. The recommended height is four to five feet
above the finished floor.
3.
Remove the remote sensor’s face plate (Fig. 1) and
mark the mounting points at the desired location within
the wine cellar (Fig. 2). Also, mark the location of the
communication cable connection as this area will
require sufficient clearance, for the cable to exit the wall
and attach to the back of the sensor.
