Figure 5: Warning/Caution plate

Sauna room ventilation
In a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. See Figure 6.
It is recommended that ventilation openings meet the requirements of UL Specifi cation 875. The minimum opening should be determined using one of the following formulas:
For R< 31, V ≥ 9.3
For R ≥ 31, V ≥ 0.3*R
where R = the floor area of the room in square feet and
V = the minimum vent size in square inches
Example Venting Calculation:
Room is 54 sq.ft.(9 ft. by 6 ft.) 54 is larger than 31.
Multiple 54 x 0.3 = 16.2 sq. in.
Vent size opening should be 4 in x 4 in.
Positioning the inlet vent
Install the inlet vent straight through the wall under the centerline of the heater.TYLO SENSE PLUS ELITE Sauna Heater - inlet vent

  1. Inlet vent position.
  2. Outlet vent position through the sauna wall.
  3. Outlet vent position through the cavity.
  4. Outlet vent position via duct.

Positioning the outlet vent
Position the outlet vent

  • at the maximum possible distance from the air intake vent, e.g. diagonally (see Figure 6).
  • high on the wall or in the ceiling (see Figure 6).
  • so that it vents into the space that the door and air intake vent open into.

The outlet vent must have the same area as the inlet vent.
Ensure that the outlet vent is open.
Mechanical ventilation is not recommended due to the risk of poor air exchange, which can negatively affect the heater temperature cut-out.

Removing the Rock Guard
Unscrew the two screws on the side of the heater and lift the rock guard upwards, see Figure 7. (This is necessary when filling the stone compartment or cleaning the  fragrance holder and air humidifier).

Room construction
For safety and reliability, the following rules must be addressed.

  • The enclosed WARNING: Reduce the risk of overheating … warning plate must be mounted on or alongside the door outside the sauna room at about eye level. Use  the supplied screws.

  • The enclosed CAUTION: Reduce the risk of fi re … caution plate must be mounted on the interior wall above the heater. Use the supplied screws.

  • No permanent locking or latch system is to be used on the sauna door.

  • Acceptable door fittings are: magnetic catches, friction catches, spring or gravity loaded closures.
    The door must always open outwards.

  • No shower may be installed in a sauna room.

  • No electrical receptacle shall be installed inside the sauna room.

  • The heater should not be operated without its container properly filled with rocks and the rock guard in place.

  • If an intercom speaker is installed, it should be away from the heater and as close to the floor as possible.

  • If a room light is installed, it should be a surface mounted bracket type. Wall mounted lights should be about 70” above the floor. Ceiling mounted lights should be of an  approved type with a junction box that is remote to the fixture itself.
    Use only a fixture that uses A.F. or fixture type internal wiring.
    A 60 watt bulb should provide sufficient lighting.

  • Fire sprinkler systems installed inside any sauna room should be properly rated for sauna room temperatures.

  • Always mount the heater according to these installation instructions.

USER GUIDE

GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on your new sauna heater! Follow this user guide to get the most from your purchase.
Wet and dry saunas are forms of bathing which originate way back in history. A hot sauna is best enjoyed at temperatures between 145-190°F.
PRIOR TO USE
The first time you use the heater Fill the stone compartment
NB: Always use dolerite stones (Tylor Sauna Stones)!
“Ordinary” stones may damage the heater.
Do not use ceramic stones. Ceramic stones may damage the heater. The heater guarantee does not cover damage caused by ceramic stones.
Fill the stone compartment around the heating elements from the bottom to the top, to approx. 2” above the top front edge. Do not press the stones into place. Capacity:  Approx. 35 lb of stones.
Place the stones loosely to allow optimum air circulation. The tubular heating elements must not be squeezed together or against the side.

Sauna stones must:

  • tolerate extreme heat and fluctuations caused by water being poured on them.
  • be cleaned before use.
  • must have an uneven surface, so that the water “clings” to the stone surface and evaporates efficiently.
  • be between 1-1/2” to 2” in size to allow air circulation in the stone compartment. This will increase the life of the tubular elements.

NB: Never place stones on top of the side air chambers. This way will obstruct air circulation, causing the unit to overheat and the cut-out switch to activate.

  1. Stone compartment
  2. Side chambers

Turn on the heater to remove any new paint odors
To remove “new paint odor” from the heater:
Heat the sauna heater for about one hour. The water reservoir does not need to be working.
A little smoke may appear.

Default settings
Using the control panel for the first time:
See instructions supplied with the control panel.
Prior to each use
Check the following
Check that:

  • there are no foreign objects in the sauna cabin, on or in the
    heater.

  • the door and any windows to the sauna cabin are closed.

  • that the sauna door opens outwards with a little pressure.
    NB:

DANGER! Fragrant essences and similar products may ignite, if poured directly onto the stones.
NOTE! Do not use the sauna cabin for any purpose other than taking saunas.

Turn on the main power switch
The main power switch is at the bottom of the heater.
Switch it on, if it is not already switched on (see Figure 2).

  1.  Main power switch

USE
The control panel in general
See instructions supplied with the control panel.
Fragrance holder

DANGER! Fragrant essences etc. may ignite if poured directly onto the stones.
To create a pleasant fragrance in the sauna, pour a few drops of Tylor Sauna Fragrance into the water in the fragrance holder.
You can also mix a few drops of the sauna fragrance with water in a sauna bucket and pour the water on fully heated stones. Use a sauna ladle for pouring water on the hot  stones.
Tylor Sauna Fragrance comes in different variants and fragrances.
Go to www.tylo.com to see the full range.

  1. Fragrance holder
  2. Air humidifier

Air humidifier
DANGER! Do not pour water into the fragrance holder once it has been heated up, as this can cause boiling water to splash on the sauna occupants. Do not stand or sit in  front of the heater while water is being poured into the fragrance holder, as hot water can spray out suddenly.
To maintain a comfortable basic level of humidity in the sauna, fill the built- in air humidifier (see Fig. 3) with water before switching on the sauna.
Tip: Pour a few drops of diluted sauna fragrance into the built-in air humidifier.
AFTER USE
Switch off the main power switch.
The main power switch is at the bottom of the heater.
Switch off here when the heater is not to be used for an extended period (e.g. several weeks).

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the fragrance holder and air humidifier
Clean the fragrance holder and air humidifier as required.
To clean the fragrance holder and air humidifier:
Remove the fragrance holder/air humidifier and rinse them underrunning water.

Check the stone compartment
Check the stone compartment at least once annually or as many times per year as the heater is used per week.
Example: If the unit is used 3 times a week, check the stone compartment 3 times per year.
WARNING! If the stone compartment fills up with  gravel and small stones, the tubular element can be damaged as a result of overheating, as air flow will be insufficient.
How to check the stone compartment:

  1. Remove all stones from the compartment.
  2. Remove any small stones, gravel and limescale from the compartment.
  3. Put whole, undamaged stones back. Replace damaged stones with new ones as required (see Filling the stone compartment, page 5).

EXTERNAL ON/OFF SWITCH (OPTION)
External ON/OFF switch can be installed anywhere outside the sauna. The switch is momentary pulse or constant activation. The heater circuit automatically recognises which is used. Heater status and faults on the door contact can be seen if the switch has a built-in LED.
See instructions supplied with the control panel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Temperature Safety Switches
The heater’s temperature protection devices:

  • PCA – The temperature safety on the PCA in the heater is designed to prevent components being damaged by overheating. If the safety switch is triggered, an error code  shows on the control panel display.
    If the overheating switch has activated, the heater cannot be started again until the temperature has dropped down 68 degrees (ºF) on the PCA.

  • Heater – The temperature cut-out in the heater protects the components and woodwork in the sauna from overheating. There is a white reset button on the left side of  the heater which must be pressed in (see Fig. 9). If the heater safety switch has activated, the button will feel stiff and will ‘click’ when reset.

Information!
When the overheating safety switches activate, always check the cause of the problem. The life of the elements and PCA can be adversely effected by each overheating. If  systems continues to overheat look at the following: Ventilation deficient? Room volume? Internal heater fault?
