SECTION 7: EXTERNAL SWITCH CONTROL (1601-36) OPERATION

External Switch

This momentary, illuminated switch provides simple ON/OFF function to your Pure or Tylo Elite Sauna Control. In a commercial environment, it is recommended that the main Sauna Control be located either in a utility closet or at the Attendant’s desk so the sauna time and temperature functions can be secured from the general public. This optional external switch will provide the sauna bather with the ability to turn the sauna ON or OFF only.

When the momentary switch is activated, the power icon will illuminate in blue and activate the sauna session that has been programmed into the main control (Pure or Tylo Elite).

Activating this button will also turn the interior sauna light on, if the light has been wired to the light output on the sauna heater’s PCA board. Pressing the switch when it is illuminated will remove power to the sauna heater and end the bathing session.

This switch cannot function as a control. It has to be connected to the system with another control.

SECTION 8: LIMIT CONTROL (RESET BUTTON)

The sauna heater has a built-in High Limit control, which automatically turns off the heater if the temperature inside in the sauna room rises to an abnormally high level.

To restart the heater, let the heater cool and the timer run down to zero (off), then push the reset button on the bottom of the heater, See Diagram 1. If the High Limit continually shuts off the heater, refer to Section 14 for Troubleshooting.

SECTION 9: HOW TO TAKE A SAUNA

• When taking a sauna, allow time to relax completely.
• Remove clothing and jewelry…if required, wear a towel loosely.
• After 10 minutes or when perspiration begins, leave sauna and relax in dressing area…follow with a cool shower.
• Cooling time should equal time spent in sauna. Enter sauna room again and stay 5 or 10 minutes.
• Repeat the cycle 2 or 3 times; end with a brisk shower…rinse in cool water.
• Dress when completely dry and perspiration has stopped.
• Some sauna bathers enjoy the soothing effect of steam by splashing water on the heated sauna rocks. Use only one dipper full (approx. ½ cup) at a time and take care to keep clear of the steam as it rises off the rocks.
• Do not smoke, exercise or drink alcoholic beverages in the sauna room.
• Do not pour chlorinated pool or spa water on the heater or corrosion damage may result.

SECTION 12: VENTILATION

VENTILATION Ventilation shall be provided in a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. This can be achieved by making a vent opening (fresh air inlet) in the sauna wall directly below the heater. The air outlet must be lower than the upper benches, as far as possible from the heater and about two feet higher than the fresh air inlet vent, See Diagram 6.

The minimum opening should be determined using one of the following formulas:
For       R < 31,      V≥9.4.
For       R ≥31,       V≥0.3R

R = the floor area of the room in square feet
V = the minimum vent size in square inches

The “CAUTION” and “WARNING” placards must be mounted in accordance with Section 10.

WARNING
REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING

• Exit immediately if uncomfortable, dizzy, or sleepy. Staying too long in a sauna is capable of causing overheating.
• Supervise children at all times.
• Check with a doctor before use if pregnant, in poor health, or under medical care.
• Breathing heated air in conjunction with consumption of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of causing unconsciousness.

CAUTION
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
Do Not Place Combustible Material Or The Heater At Any Time.

For safety purpose sauna door must open out and not lock.

Never use a wood stain, seal or preservative on the inside of your sauna room.

Light fixtures get very hot during operation. Locate light fixture where it will not be a burn hazard.

SECTION 13: MAINTENANCE

Inspect sauna room at the end of each day the room to ensure the control and system is off.

The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free. Towels or mats should always be used on benches and floor as perspiration otherwise penetrates the soft wood.

Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are in daily use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard should be removed from the sauna, the sauna floor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, and the duckboard thoroughly scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should be wiped down occasionally with a damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled rocks replaced.

To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub brush. Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works well.

Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot or abuse. Any boards with signs of deteriorations should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.
