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 unitaccording to their manuals. See
also figures 6a,6b, 6c and 6d in this manual.
2.2.4 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.
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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
The electrical connections of the control unit may only be made by an
authorised, professional electrician and in accordance with the current
regulations. When the installation of the control unit is complete, the person
in charge of the installation must pass on to the user the Instructions for
Installation and Use that come with the control unit and must give the user
the necessary training for using the heater and the control unit.
3.1. Installing the Control Panel
The control panel is splash proof and has a small operating voltage. The panel
can be installed in the washing or dressing room, or in the living quarters.
If the panel is installed in the sauna room, it must
be at the minimum safety distance from the heater and at a maximum height of
one metre from the floor. Figure 4.
Conductor tubing (ø 1”3/16, 30 mm) inside the wall structure allows you to
thread the data cable hidden within the wall – otherwise the installation will
have to be on the wall surface. We recommend you to install the control panel
embedded in to the wall and far away from possible splashes.
3.2. Installing the Power Unit
Install the power unit to a wall outside the saunaroom, in a dry place with an
ambient temperatureof >32 ºF (>0 ºC). See Figure 5 for instructions onhow to
open the power unit cover and how to fix the unit to the wall.
Note! Do not embed the control unit into thewall, since this may cause
excessive heating ofthe internal components of the unit and lead todamage. See
Figure 5.
3.2.1. Electrical Connections
Figures 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d show the electrical connections of the power unit.
Tables 2a, 2b, 2c and2d show the wire and fuse sizes. For more detailed
installation instructions see The Instructions forInstallation and Use of the
selected heater model.
3.2.2. Power Unit Fuse Faults
Replace a blown fuse by a new one with the same resistance. The placement of
the fuses in the powerunit is shown in Figures 6a and 6b.
- If the fuse for the electronic unit has blown, there is likely a fault in the power unit and service is required.
- If the fuse in the line U1, U2 has blown, there is a problem with lighting or fan. Check the wiring and functioning of lighting and fan.
- If the fuse in the line A1, A2 has blown, there is a problem with the heater’s overheat protector circuit. In the heater, check the safety contactor, overheat protector and their wiring.

3.3. Installing the Temperature Sensor Floor-mounted heaters (see Figure 7)
-
Option 1: The temperature sensor is mounted on the wall above the heater, along the vertical centre line running parallel to the sides of the heater, at a distance of 3 15/16” (100 mm) from the ceiling.
-
Option 2: The temperature sensor is mounted to the ceiling above the heater, at a distance of 7 14/16” (200 mm) from the vertical centre line of the heater’s side.
Wall-mounted heaters (see Figure 8) -
The temperature sensor is wall-mounted above the heater, along the vertical centre line running parallel to the sides of the heater, at a distance of 3 15/16” (100 mm) from the ceiling.
Do not install the temperature sensor closer than 3’-3 3/8” (1000 mm) to an air vent. The air flow near an air vent cools down the sensor, which gives inaccurate temperature readings to the control unit. As a result, the heater might overheat. See Figure 9.
3.4. Resetting the Overheat Protector
The sensor box contains a temperature sensor and an overheat protector. An NTC
thermistor senses the temperature, and the resettable overheat protector cuts
off the heater power in a case of malfunction, after which the protector can
be reset. See Figure 10.
Note! The reason for the going off must be determined before the button
is pressed.
