WARNING
Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures is capable of inducing hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the normal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the room, unawareness of impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women, physical inability to exit the room and unconsciousness.

WARNING
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly increasing the risk of fatal hyperthermia.

SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

Never operate the heater without rocks in place! Rinse the rocks with water before placing in the heater. Place the larger rocks between the elements and the smallest rocks between the elements and the inner rock compartment of the heater. Place the rocks loosely so the air can circulate. Continue adding rocks until there is 1 layer above the heating elements. Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high limit switch to trip. Attach the rock guard with the screws provided.

SECTION 4: ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP

Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations. This heater is intended for use with SC Controls only. Use of any other control type will void the warranty and ETL listing. The control panel and contactor box must be installed in a dry location outside the sauna room. The control panel must be located to allow installation of the thermostat’s temperature sensor shown in Diagram 1. The sensor wire supplied is 9 feet, but it may be extended at the control end with 2 conductor wire. The model CB 7-3 contactor box is required for use with a three phase heater, the model CB 7-1 contactor box is required for use with a single phase heater. To determine the correct wire size, refer to Table 1. Use copper supply wire only, suitable for minimum 90 degrees C. The heater must be grounded! See the heater and control wiring diagrams for proper connections.

SECTION 5: TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Feed the “low voltage” sensor wire from the control to the sensor location. Sensor wire must be routed completely seperate (as per low voltage electrical wiring codes) from any wiring carrying over 50 volts. It may be necessary to drill holes to string the wire through the studs or ceiling joists. Route wires into control box and connect to terminals #2 and #3 at the thermostat terminal block.

DIAGRAM 9: ROOM TEMPERATURES

Non-Typical Ceiling Height

Notes:
Temperatures vary in a sauna room by height and distance from heater. Ventilation will help reduce it but will not eliminate temperature variations. The hottest part of the room is always at the ceiling directly above the sauna heater and should not exceed 194°F (90°C).
Air temperature will be 15°F to 25°F lower on the opposite side of the room from the heater close to the ceiling. The temperatures in the elevated view are general numbers. Each sauna room is different due to construction variations and ventilation.

SECTION 12: VENTILATION

VENTILATION Ventilation shall be provided in a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. This can be achieved by making a vent opening (fresh air inlet) in the sauna wall directly below the heater. The air outlet must be lower than the upper benches, as far as possible from the heater and about two feet higher than the fresh air inlet vent, See Diagram 8.
The minimum opening should be determined using one of the following formulas:

For R < 31, V ³ 9.4
For R ³ 31, V ³ 0.3R

SECTION 13: MAINTENANCE

Inspect sauna room at the end of each day the room to ensure the control and system is off.
The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free. Towels or mats should always be used on benches rehto noitaripsrep sa roo dnawise penetrates the soft wood. To clean and remove perspiration stains, use soap or detergent in warm water, best applied with a scrub brush. Badly soiled surfaces may require sanding. Sand paper wrapped around a wooden block works well.
Air out the sauna often by keeping the door and vents open when the sauna is not in use. Saunas that are in daily use should be washed down at least once a week to keep them clean and the air fresh. Duckboard should be rennam lanoitnevnoc a ni deird dna deppom roo anuas eht ,anuas eht morf devomer, and the duckboard thoroughly scrubbed and dried before returning to the sauna room. The sauna heater should be wiped down occasionally with a damp cloth to remove lint and dust. The rocks should be removed once a year for cleaning and small or crumbled rocks replaced.
Benches and supporting structure must be inspected annually for potential deterioration due to age, dry rot or abuse. Any boards with signs of deteriorations should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.

SECTION 14: TROUBLESHOOTING

No Heat – Check timer, refer to Section 7 and Diagram 4 about timer operation.
Control Timer Light is On but No Heat – Press (reset) the high limit switch on the bottom of heater.
Slow Heat Time or High Limit Tripping – Check rock placement, they will break down over time and reduce the air retaeh eht ni wo. Refer to Diagram 10 for proper rock installation. Discard all rocks under the size of 3″ peices. Call the number below to order more rocks if needed.
