Product Usage Instructions

Connection/Wiring:

1. Connect NTC Sensor cable (round) to jack 1 on the circuit board.
2. Connect Control cable (flat) to jack 9 on the circuit board.

Sensor Installation Tips:

1. If using Sensor Cover, feed the sensor wire through the sensor holder before running it inside the wall.
2. Sensor with a metal tab is usually installed without a cover by screwing it directly to the finished wall.
3. Mount the sensor holder close to the sensor and install the cover to hide the sensor wire.
4. Avoid installing the cover on top of the sensor after installation to prevent heat sensitivity issues.

Sensor Positioning Guidelines:

• Minimum distance from the side wall: 3 inches (100 mm)
• Sensor position alternative 1: 3 inches (75 mm) from the heater
• Minimum distance from the back wall (with legs): 4 inches (100mm)
• Sensor position alternative 2: 3 inches (75 mm) from the front of the heater
• Sensor position: 1 inch (25 mm) from the ceiling
• Minimum distance from the ceiling: 44 inches (1100 mm)
• Minimum distance from the heater guard: 4 inches (100 mm)
• Minimum ceiling height: 75 inches (1900 mm)
• Minimum distance: 1 inch (25 mm)
• Minimum distance from the heater guard: 2 inches (50 mm)
• Distance from the floor: 7 inches (175 mm)

Sensor Installation Tip

1. (1) If using Sensor Cover, you are supposed to feed the sensor wire through the sensor holder FIRST before running wire inside the wall. If not done first, do one of the following:

2. (2) Sensor with metal tab is usually installed without cover with one screw through the sensor tab directly to the finished wall.

3. (3) Mount sensor holder close to sensor. Surface mount sensor as show in picture. Install cover to hide sensor wire and any hole made for wire.

4. (4) DO NOT install cover on top of sensor after installation. It can affect heat sensitivity and cause heater high limit to trip.

5. CAUTION : Heater junction box can be a tight fit. Make sure no bare wires come in to contact with circuit board, on/off switch  or any other heater components. Extra care should be taken when closing junction box cover to ensure wires are not being pushedout of position.

6. Some prefer or are required to make a weather-proof connection. If so, you may use Liquid tight conduit for the wire exposed within the sauna. For more flexibility, you can install weather proof junction box inside sauna below heater and use flexible SOOW wire to connect to heater

Figure 3: Position the sensor according the picture.

Unscrew the first two screws on the back of the heater and screw one of the four brackets into place. Repeat the proce-dure until all of the brackets are fitted see Fig. 11.

Note : If all the screws on the back are unscrewed simultaneously, the back plate may come loose. For this reason, attach the four brackets to the heater one at a time.

Elite Control Location
The control panel can be installed inside or outside of the sauna room. (Outside is Typical)

Elite Control Installation Instructions
The control panel can be installed inside or outside the sauna room. If the control is installed inside the room, install no higher than 3’ (90 cm) above the floor. No closer than 12” (30 cm) to heater.

Installation Without Mounting Bracket
Cut a 1-3/16” (3 cm) hole through the wall big enough for the control panel connector. Attach the double-sided adhesive to the control panel. Before applying the control to the wall, connect it to the heater and electrically test everything first. Clean the surface where the control will be applied to remove all dust. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive. Silicone sealant can be applied in the groove on the back of the panel as an extra seal. Connect the control wire, push the excess wire through the hole in the wall and press the control panel firmly to the wall.

Installation Bracket
Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark screws holes on the wall. Tighten the screws a little until the bracket is nearly secured. Remove the bracket from the wall. Use adhesive to mount the control to the bracket. Remember to position the switch according to the picture.

Installation without Bracket
Install without bracket Control stuck directly to the wall. Control cable in the stud cavity.

Installation with Bracket
Install with bracket
Generally only used when control wire is surface mounted; i.e. sold log style outdoor sauna.

FAQ

Q: Can I change the heating elements for different voltage settings?
A: No, the heating elements do not change for voltage changes. The heater output varies based on the applied voltage.

Q: What is the maximum distance between Elite Control and the heater?
A: The Elite Control distance to the heater should not exceed 75 feet.
