Power Requirement
CellarPro 1800 cooling systems require a dedicated 15-amp circuit. We recommend
using a surge protector to protect the internal components in case of a power surge.
The cooling unit uses approximately 3 amps during its “on” cycle. The cooling unit also
offers a grounded 115V AC outlet, which is rated for 3 amps.
A number of variables, including the minimum set point, the temperature in the
ambient environment, the insulation of the cellar, and the thermal mass inside the
cellar, will affect the cooling unit’s runtime. It is normal for the cooling unit to run up
to 75 percent of the time in order to maintain proper conditions inside the cellar.
Summary
Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing a wine cooling unit from
CellarPro:
If the cellar it too large for the cooling unit, and/or if the cellar does not have
adequate insulation, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper
temperatures throughout the cellar.
Without a moisture barrier and an airtight environment inside the cellar, the cooling
unit effectively will become a de-humidifier and may produce buckets of water.
The rear (hot side) of the cooling unit must be installed in a space OUTSIDE the
cellar that is at least as large as the wine cellar unless the rear intake and exhaust
are ducted.
Unless ducted, both the front and the rear of the cooling unit require a minimum
clearance of 8 inches for the exhaust.
The rear (hot side) of the cooling unit needs to have access to fresh, cool air to
operate properly. Without access to fresh, cool air, either because of improper
ventilation, installation in a small or restricted space, or environments that are too
hot, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper temperatures inside the
cellar and the HA2 alarm will be triggered.
If the rear (hot side) of the cooling unit will be pulling air below 40F, the unit MUST
be equipped with a compressor heater.
