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 HARVIA CX170 U1 Control
Unit - BASIC 3

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.

    Figure 6d. Electrical connections (CX170-U3-15)

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.
