Saunum 12kW In Sauna Control Unit Black Control Panel Instruction Manual

Saunum 12kW In Sauna Control Unit Black Control Panel

THE BEST SAUNA EXPERIENCE TO HAVE!

• I am very glad that you have invested in the Saunum device, and I believe that our innovative technology will offer you an extraordinary sauna experience.
• I have a degree in thermal engineering and come from Southern Estonia, where my love for saunas began.
• The special feature of local historic smoke saunas is the lower tempera-ture and higher humidity level than, for example, a classic Finnish sauna. In ordinary saunas, the stone volume of the sauna heater is generally small.
• Such an arrangement can cause a sudden, burning hot steam and an extremely uneven temperature, where your head and shoulder level are really hot, but your feet are left cold.
• Such an experience can be quite unpleasant and may cause headaches and lead to body stress.
• However, in ancient smoke saunas and Native American saunas, the stones were first heated during the day.
• Then the heat stored in the stones was used to cleanse the body and create a truly enjoyable sauna experience.
• Inspired by the experience of a smoke sauna, I wanted to create an innovative solution that combines the best features of an authentic sauna with modern technology; enabling a pleasantly mild and relaxing sauna experience without pain-fully scorching steam.
• For that, however, I had to solve the problem of how to achieve an even temperature, at both the head and foot levels. My development work was supported by research done alongside Tallinn University of Technology,
• in which we analyzed the thermal stratification and air movement in the sauna room. Saunum was born in cooperation between scientific thinking and technological innovation.
• Saunum’s unique patented mixing system of air layers captures the hot steam that rises under the ceiling of the sauna room, mixes it with the cooler air from the surface of the floor, and directs the milder steam back evenly. This makes for an enjoyable, unaggressive heat. You can sit in the sauna for a longer time, and enjoy a sweat and a deep cleanse without feeling tired. The stone volume of our heaters is significantly larger than other sauna heaters, which is the reason for the especially pleasant indoor climate with long and soft steam.
• A moist steamy sauna, a therapeutic salt sauna, or a healthy aroma sauna – all of these functions are available on Saunum’s devices to create a truly relaxing sauna experience.
• When using Himalayan salt balls in our device, salt ions that are beneficial to the skin and respiratory tract evaporate and the steam circulates these into the air.
• Adding a sauna aroma system that blends steam and healthy aroma oil creates an even more enjoyable sauna environment.
• Saunum’s sauna devices are suitable for both adults and children.
• Have a pleasant sauna!
• Saunum congratulates you on choosing an innovative sauna control unit!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

• WARNING! Failure to install the product under all instructions here­in will void the warranty. It can result in the risk of fire and/or electrical short­ circuiting, leading to property damage, bodily injury, or death.
• A licensed professional electrician may only do the installation of the control unit per current regulations.
• The person in charge of the installation should provide the necessary training and return the user manual to the product owner after completing the installation.
• The product owner should provide access to the manual to all persons using or operating the product.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL

• This control panel is meant to be installed inside a sauna. Its maximum operating temperature is 100º C.
• It should be installed in to place where it doesn’t exceed that temperature.
• For example, not too high near the ceiling.
• The recommended place to install is where you can operate it comfortably like close to arm reach.
• For concealed installation, the data cable can be installed in a protective tube inside

1. Thread the data cable through the hole in the wall mount.
2. Fasten the wall mount to the wall with screws.
3. Connect the data cable to the connector.
4. Press the control panel into the wall mount.

INSTALLING THE POWER UNIT

1. Open the cover of the power unit.
   • The installation spot must be dry, and its temperature must not exceed 65 °C.
2. Drill holes in the case and attach the power unit to the wall or electrical panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• The connection of the power unit is shown on the diagram of electrical connections.
• For more information on connecting the heater, see the heater installation and operating instructions
• If the connection and installation cables are located higher than 1000 mm from the floor of the sauna room or inside the walls of the sauna room, they must be able to withstand a temperature of at least 170  °C (e.g., SSJ).
• Electrical equipment installed in the steam room below 1000 mm from the floor must withstand a temperature of at least 125 °C (e.g., T125).

RECOMMENDED CABLE DIAMETERS

• Temperature sensor-thermal protection (silicon or other heat-resistant material that can withstand a temperature at least 140 °C): min 3 x 0.25 mm2
• Control panel (a ferrule end-sleeve is required for stranded cables): min 4 x 0.34 mm2
• Door sensor: min 2 x 0.34 mm2

INSTALLING THE DOOR SENSOR

• A door sensor is a magnetic switch that is attached to the door frame of the sauna room.
• Closing the door closes the door sensor’s circuit and allows the sauna control to be activated.
• Opening the sauna door breaks the circuit and switching on the heater is not possible.
• The door sensor consists of two parts: a sensor and a magnet.
• Connect the cable ends to the terminal of the sensor.
• Fix the magnet on the door with double-sided tape. This must allow the door to close and be close to the door frame.
• Attach the magnetic sensor to the door frame, matching the sensor and the magnet when the door is closed. The maximum distance between the door switch parts must be 5 mm when the door is closed.

INSTALLING THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

• To install the temperature sensor/overheat-ing protection, proceed as follows.
• Connect the cable to the tempera-ture sensor’s plugs.
• Screw the temperature sensor onto the wall (see figure).
• The temperature sensor cannot be placed above the heater.
• It must be about at least 200 mm away from it. The temperature sensor must be installed 100 mm below the ceiling.
• The temperature sensor must be at least 500 mm from any air opening (ventilation, door, or window).
• The airflow near an air vent cools down the sensor, giving the control unit inaccurate temperature readings.
• As a result, the heater might overheat.

The overheating protector reset button

• The sensor’s case contains a temperature sensor and an overheating protector.
• The temperature sensor detects the temperature and the overheating protection switches off the power to the heater in the event of a fault; overheating protection can be reset.
• The Saunum warranty starts from the date of purchase and includes all manufacturer-provided parts of the control unit. The warranty covers faults from the manufacturing and materials only.
• Under this warranty, Saunum will provide replacement parts to the buyer, but only after the faulty parts have been returned to the manufacturer or reseller.
• Replacement of any part in the control unit by Saunum does not extend the original warranty period.
• The electrical device should only be connected to mains under all laws and regulations by a licensed, certified electrician.
• The warranty applies only to the first installation of the product and to the original purchaser.

The warranty does not cover:

• Routine maintenance and cleaning of the device, and replacement of the components due to normal wear and tear;
• Risks arising from transport;
• Damage resulting from the misuse of the device;
• Damage resulting from the improper installation of the device;
