Installing the Thermostat and
Communication Cable
The Wine Guardian Remote Interface
Controller is a combination temperature and
humidity controller with single stage cooling, heating
and humidifier control. Each Wine Guardian unit is
supplied with a Remote Interface Controller and 15
meters feet of communication cable. It is wired at
the factory for testing prior to shipment.
In most applications the Remote Interface
Controller will be mounted within the wine
cellar. The remote interface controller can also be
mounted directly outside of the wine cellar or in
any other room of the home or building. When mounted outside of the wine cellar, a remote sensor
kit must be purchased and installed within the wine cellar. See below for remote sensor installation
details.
IMPORTANT
Wine Guardian units are supplied with 15 meters of Cat 3, 6-wire twisted pair
communication cable with RJ-11 connectors. Failure to use this type of communication
cable WILL cause product damage and WILL void any equipment warranty.
Installation instructions should be followed CAREFULLY as improper splicing and/or
joining of twisted pair cables can cause equipment failure.
Mounting the Remote Interface Controller
1
. Disconnect the communication cable from the side of
the Wine Guardian unit and the Remote Interface
Controller.
a)
Install the communication cable within the wall
and/or ceiling structure of the wine cellar to the
desired controller mounting location.
b)
Mount the remote interface controller on a solid
surface away from doors, corners, air outlets, drafts or
heat generating equipment. Do not mount the Remote
Interface Controller directly on an outside wall or wall
adjacent to a boiler room.
