The complete Wine Guardian DS050 Sentinel Series ducted split system: the indoor fan coil and the outdoor condensing unit Wine Guardian designed for it, in one order. The fan coil sits outside the cellar and moves cooled air through insulated ducts, while the condensing unit can go outside the home. Wine Guardian rates it at 6,458 BTU/h at 80Β°F outdoor air.
What is included
- DS050 fan coil, base model (SKU 99H0360-20), with power cord, remote interface controller and 50 ft cable, supply and return duct collars and a 7 ft drain hose.
- DS050 condensing unit, base model with standard low ambient operation to 20Β°F (SKU 99H0298-11), with a factory holding charge of R-134a.
- Not included: refrigerant lines, ductwork and installation.
Best for
- Cellars of about 650 to 3,000 cubic feet. Wine Guardian notes the range depends on use and room construction.
- Keeping equipment and compressor noise out of the cellar.
- Projects with a refrigeration contractor lined up.
Not the right fit if
- You want a unit you can install yourself. Wine Guardian requires installation by qualified technicians certified to handle refrigerant.
- Winters run below 20Β°F. Order the condensing unit with Extreme Climate Protection separately instead.
- You need serving temperatures or moisture added. Those need the All Wine Temperatures fan coil or the optional humidifier.
Installation requirements
- Fan coil indoors near the cellar, outside it, on a level platform with 3 feet of service clearance; no more than 15 feet of height difference to the condensing unit.
- Insulated supply and return ducts: Wine Guardian recommends 10 inch ducts for a single run or 8 inch for a double run, and no more than 25 feet of supply and return duct in total, including bends. Check longer runs with Wine Guardian before ordering.
- Condensing unit outdoors on a level slab above snowfall, or in a space at least 3 times the size of the cellar, with 12 inches clear on every side.
- Fan coil on a dedicated 115 V circuit; condensing unit hardwired at 208 to 230 V (MCA 6.4 A, MOP 10 A); copper lines 1/4" liquid and 1/2" suction, up to 90 equivalent ft.
