INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Using the Heater

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.
• Start/stop the fan by pressing the button on 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.

ft (50 cm) away 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.

Installing the Power Unit

Install the power unit to a wall outside the sauna room, in a dry place with an ambient temperature more than 32 ºF (0 ºC). See Figure 5 for instructions on how to open the power unit cover and how to fix the unit to the wall.

Note:  Do not embed the control unit into the wall, since this may cause excessive heating of the internal components of the unit and lead to damage. See Figure 5.

Electrical Connections

The heater and control unit may only be connected to the electrical network in accordance with the current regulations by a licensed professional electrician. Figures 6a, 6b and 6c show the electrical connections of the power unit. For more detailed installation instructions see The Instructions for Installation and Use of the selected heater model.

Instructions for Installation

The power unit of CX30-U1-U3 and CX45-U1-U3 is controlled by control panel Xenio.

• Control panel is connected to power unit via data cable.
• Only one control panel can be connected to the power unit.
• Temperature sensor:
  • WX232 is needed to operate CX30-U1-U3 and CX45-U1-U3. See section 3.3. for correct temperature sensor placement.
• Two relay outputs (120 V 1Ph):
  • For driving a fan (max. 100 W) and lighting (max. 100 W).
• Breakers on the electronics card (if a breaker has blown, see section 3.2.3.):
  • 40 mA breaker for electronic unit.
  • Two 2.5 Ah breakers for relay outputs U1, U2, A1, A2.
• Technical specifications:
  • Max. length of data cable: 80’ (25 m)
  • Max. heater power raitings (table 2)

Power Unit Breaker Faults

Replace a blown breaker by a new one with the same resistance. The placement of the breakers in the power unit is shown in Figures 6a, 6b and 6c.

• If the breaker F2 for the electronic unit has blown, there is likely a fault in the power unit and it might need to be replaced. Service is required.
• If the breaker F3 has blown, there is a problem with lighting or fan. Check the wiring and functioning of lighting and fan.
• If the breaker F1 has blown, there is a problem with the heater’s overheat protector circuit. In the heater, check the safety contactor circuit, overheat protector and their wiring.

NOTE:  Only a qualified licensed electrician should replace the electronic card or fuse of the control unit, by following the necessary precautions!

Installing the Temperature Sensor

• Floor-mounted heaters (see Figure 7)
  • 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.
• Wall-mounted heaters (see Figure 8)
  • The temperature sensor is wall-mountedabove 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.

NOTE:  If the temperature sensor comes with the heater, you MUST install it as shown in the manual of the heater. The wire of the sensor can be extended with similar type of wire. Not exceeding 80’ (25m).

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.
