» See Xenio Wifi Instructions for Installation and Use
WARNING! Before switching the heater on always check that there isn’t anything on top of the heater or inside the given safety distance.
IMPORTANT ! Before switching the heater on for the first time, change the right heater grade from the settings menu (SET 3). See figure 3b. See the right heater grade from the heater’s type label, under “control unit grade settings”.
The right heater grade must be chosen to pair the control unit and the heater. Right heater grade optimizes heater and ensures the best possible sauna experience.
Start the heater by pressing the I/O button on the control panel.
When the heater starts, the top row of the display will show the set temperature and the bottom row will show the set on time for five seconds.
When the desired temperature has been reached in the sauna room, the heating elements are automatically turned off. To maintain the desired temperature, the control unit will automatically turn the heating elements on and off in periods.
The heater will turn off when the set on time runs out, the I/O button is pressed or an error occurs.
The settings menu structure and changing the settings is shown in figure 3. Changing the temperature unit (Fahrenheit/Celsius) is shown in figure 3a.
Using Accessories
Lighting and ventilation can be started and shut down separately from their
own operating buttons.
Lighting
The lighting in the sauna room can be set up so that it can be controlled from
the control panel. (Max 100 W.)
Switch the lights on/off by pressing the button on the control panel.
Ventilation
If there is a fan installed in the sauna room, it can be connected to the
control unit and be controlled from the control panel.

Safety switch
Safety switch refers to e.g. Harvia SFE, a safety device installed above or
integrated to the heater, preventing the heater from heating should any object
(e.g. towel, piece of clothing) drop or be placed on top of the heater and
cause a fire hazard.
The switch is connected to the control unit according to their manuals. See also figure 6 in this manual.
Remote switch
To remotely control the heater’s power input, the control unit can be equipped
with an on/off remote switch (e.g. building automation). For more information,
see section 2.3.
Remote control
According to the product standard IEC/EN 60335 -2-53 regulating electrical
sauna heaters, a control unit can be used to remotely control the heater once
the heater is equipped with a safety switch.
Using with a safety switch: the heater can be turned on remotely, if the
safety switch circuit is closed. If the circuit is open, ”SAFE” is displayed
and the heater will not start.
Pause time: These features are limited by a pause time that prevents the
heater from turning on if it has been less than 6 hours since the heater was
last turned off. Trying to remotely turn the heater on during the pause time
period (6 hours), text ”rESt” is displayed. The heater can be remotely started
after the pause time has elapsed and ”rc” is displayed.
Memory for power failures: the control unit resumes operation, if the
remote switch has remained in ON position.
Preset time: if the control unit is on preset delay time, it cannot be
controlled with a remote switch.
After the preset delay has passed and the heater is turned on, it can be
turned off with a remote switch.
