IMPORTANT 

 

Wireless installation may result in limited communication range and connectivity issues depending upon 

building construction and distance between Wine Guardian unit and Remote Interface Controller and/or 

Remote Sensors. 

 

IMPORTANT 

 

Whenever possible we strongly suggest wiring the Remote Interface Controller directly to the Wine Guardian 

unit to avoid periodic battery changes and uninterrupted service. 

 

Installing the Optional Remote Interface Controller and 

Communication Cable 

 

 

The Wine Guardian Wireless-to-base Remote Interface 

Controller is a combination temperature and humidity 

controller with single stage cooling, heating and humidity 

control.  It’s capacitive touch screen incorporates an on/off 

switch, adjustment arrows and settings buttons for ease of use 

and programming.  The controller can be installed one of two 

ways: 

 

Wired (recommended)

 

– wired directly to the Wine Guardian unit through an RJ-9 

communication cable. 50’ (15.25 meters) of control cable is included with each controller with 

longer lengths available as an option.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wirelessly -

 

connects wirelessly to the Wine Guardian unit by Radio Frequency connectivity 

through one of twelve selectable channels.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wine Guardian Wireless-to-base Remote Interface Controller is a configurable device that 

can be fine-tuned through a series of individual settings. The controller incorporates eight (8) key 

temperature, humidity and system alarm points.  Remote alarm indication is possible through 

terminal point connections at our main control board.   

 

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 or a 

second wireless remote interface must be purchased and installed within the wine cellar.  

 

 

 

 

Additional Remote Interface: 

IMPORTANT 

Regardless of wired or wireless each, Wine guardian System can have a maximum of two (2) Remote Interface 

Controllers and three (3) Remote Sensors.
