SECTION 2: INSTALLATION SUMMARY AND TIPS

ELECTRICAL: ROUGH IN:

Step 1: What traditional sauna heater being installed in room?
The traditional heater location must be chosen first. If the room is over 78″ and the heater is hung on the wall and the IR assembly can be installed above the traditional sauna heater. There has to be 5″ of clearance above the traditional sauna heater and the bottom of the IR assembly. See Diagram 1 for specific spacing requirements.

Step 2: What IS system should be installed in the room?
The system will determine how many IR emitters will be in the room. See Diagram 7 for the quantities of IR emitters. Try to evenly space the IR emitters in the room behind the benches. See Diagram 3 for IR emitter size information.

Step 3: IR Panel Wire Installation
Pull 14-2 AWG wire w/ground BX cable from the CB Box to closest IR emitter. Install a metal single gang junction box 24″ below the bottom of the estimated height of the IR heating panel. Daisy chain the wire from the first IR emitter to the next junction box and continue to loop and leave wires sticking out for each single gang box.

Step 4: Traditional Sauna Heater Wiring traditional sauna heater. Refer to Diagram 2 for the traditional sauna heater for wire size. Preinstall wire from the CB box to the location of the bottom of the sauna heater.

A two conductor cable is provided with the sauna heater for the high limit safety switch. Preinstall wire in the wall. The traditional sauna system will not work if the wires and switch are not connected.

Step 5: Lighting Installation (Optional Equipment) SaunaLogic 2 IS is capable of operating ONLY a lighting package purchased with the system. The lighting package consists of 3 lights or more with a maximum 6 lights and the cables to connect the light assemblies to the CB box. The long cable (5 m) connects the CB Box to a “splitter” device which typically is installed above the room ceiling. From the splitter there are cables (2 m) which connect the light assemblies to the splitter. All cable lengths for lights are similar depending on the number of fixtures.

Predetermine light fixture locations in the ceiling based on cable lengths and CB box location. Route the cable provided from the desired light locations in the ceiling to the CB box before any tongue and groove is applied.

Cut 2 3/4″ holes in tongue and groove boards for light fixtures as the tongue and groove is being applied. Ensure the lighting cables reach the hole locations.

WARNING

Refer to Diagram 1 for minimum clearance of ceiling above heater.

Fire sprinkler systems used inside any sauna room should be properly rated for sauna room temperatures.

Do not spray water on Infrared Emitters

Water use on Infrared Emitters may cause damage and will void warranty.

Do not install a shower in the sauna room.

Electric Shock Hazard – High voltage exists within this equipment. There are no user serviceable parts in this equipment.

All installation and service to this equipment should be performed by qualified licensed personnel in accordance with local and national codes.

Use only copper wire of the size and type indicated in the Heater Specification Chart and the temperature rating indicated on the heater junction box.

All heaters and controls must be grounded per NEC to prevent electrical shock in case of unit failure.

Electrical outlets or receptacle must not be installed in a sauna room.

SECTION 3: TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Locate top of sensor 2″ from ceiling and directly above the IR-325-240 IR panel AND traditional sauna heater if installed. (See Diagram 2 or 3 for details)

Feed the 17 ft “low voltage” sensor wire from the sensor location to the CB PK box location. Sensor wire must be routed completely separate (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.

Using a flat tip screwdriver, unsnap sensor cover from sensor. Mount sensor to a finished wall directly above heater and two (2) inches down from ceiling using two (2) screws (provided) as shown in Diagrams 1, 3 & 5.

Connect wires to CN 4 on the circuit board inside the CB box.

SECTION 4: ROOM AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

ROOM ROUGH IN FOR SURFACE MOUNT IR EMITTERS:

Build the frame the room with standard building materials and framing design.

Install single gang outlets below the IR Emitters. Rough in all lighting wires, IR emitters wires, Sensor wire, Control wires before insulating the room and applying foil vapor barrier.

Tongue and groove the ceiling. While installing the tongue and groove on the ceiling continue to cut in the light holes and install and connect the lights as the ceiling is installed. Access will be difficult after ceiling is completed.

Apply tongue and groove wood on the walls (vertical or horizontal depending desires installation). Cut wood around the electrical access boxes. Cut an electrical access behind the IR Emitter to feed the wire from the emitter into the electrical box. (Pictures do not show the cut out behind IR emitter.)

Remove the cover from Surface Mount IR Emitter by holding the wire on the back of emitter and pull the cover away to the front. It will release a mechanical lock. Install the wire from the IR emitter into the wall and into the electrical box below. Install the extra wire in the wall and then attach IR emitter panel to the wood wall with 6 screws (3 on each side).

Reinstall the cover by placing the top of cover over the IR panel and pull down. It will catch two notches at the top of the wall and then push the lower part of the cover against the IR panel and the cover will “click” into place. The cover will be flush all the way around the IR emitter for clean finished look.

Splice in the electrical panels into the electrical box and cover with metal single gang blank plate.

Continue this process to complete the room.

Surface Mount IR Emitter Installation
Remove the cover from the IR panels by pushing the front bottom of the panel through the cloth.

Install the wire harness from the IR emitters into the wall to the pre- installed single gang boxes. Connect all wires in the electrical junction box appropriately. All IR emitters should be grounded.

Install the IR assembly to the tongue and groove wall with 6 wood screws provided with the kit. Ensure the excess wire is pushed in the wall behind the IR emitter.

Clip the cover over the top of the heater and push the bottom of the cover against the mechanical clips.

SECTION 5: ELECTRICAL CONTROLS INSTALLATION

Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.

Remove the screws from the CB box to access the electrical connections. Secure CB box to the wall in the sauna room according to Diagram 1. (4 screws provided in the box) Route the wires through the holes provided on the bottom of the control box and connect the wires to the terminal block. To determine the correct wire size, refer to Diagram 2. Use copper supply wire only, suitable for minimum 90 degrees C. The heater must be grounded! See Diagram 7 and 8 for proper connections.

Refer to the Installation and Operation Manual for all electrical questions about the traditional sauna heater.

Connect low voltage cable from the SL2 IS control to CN1 of the circuit board in the CB Box. Connect sensor cable to CN4 of the circuit board in the CB Box. Connect the light cable to CN 8 (RJ 45 Jack) on the circuit board in the CB Box.

Connect the traditional sauna heater high limit sensor cable to CN5 of the circuit board in the CB Box.

INSTALLATION ROUGH IN The SL2 IS (1601-37) control can be mounted inside or outside the sauna room. (See Diagram 3)

To mount the control cut an opening 2-3/4″ wide by 4-3/4″ tall. Route the control wire from CB Box to the control. (See Diagram 9 and 10)

Note: Use the factory supplied cable only! Do not staple through or otherwise damage the cable!

Connect the control cable to the SL2 IS and secure the control to the wall by 2 mounting screws provided.

SECTION 10: MAINTENANCE

Inspect sauna room at the end of each day the room is in use.

The sauna, like a bathroom, should be kept clean and odor free. Towels or mats should always be used on benches and floor as perspiration otherwise 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 removed from the sauna, the sauna floor mopped and dried in a conventional manner, 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 deterioration should be replaced immediately to avoid possible injury.

SECTION 11: ROOM CONSTRUCTION

• For safety and reliability, the following rules must be addressed.
• No permanent locking or latch system is to be used on the sauna door.
• Acceptable door fittings are: magnetic catches, friction catches, spring or gravity loaded closures.
• The door must always open outwards.
• No shower may be installed in a sauna room.
• No electrical receptacle shall be installed inside the sauna room.
• The enclosed WARNING: Reduce the risk of overheating … warning plate must be mounted on or alongside the door outside the sauna room at about eye level.
• The enclosed CAUTION: Reduce the risk of fire … caution plate must be mounted on the interior wall above the heater.
• The heater should not be operated without its container properly filled with rocks and the rock guard in place.
• If an intercom speaker is installed, it should be away from the heater and as close to the floor as possible.
• Fire sprinkler systems installed inside any sauna room should be properly rated for sauna room temperatures.
• Always mount the heater according to these installation instructions.
• Minimum of R12 insulation in 16″ on center 2×4 stud walls.

VENTILATION In a private 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 9. It is recommended that ventilation openings meet the requirements of UL Specification 875. The minimum opening should be determined using one of the following formulas:

For R<31, V≥9.3, For R≥31, V≥0.3R

where    R = the floor area of the room in square feet and

V = the minimum vent size in square inches

SECTION 13: TROUBLESHOOTING

If control displays “Sn” it means no sensor is connected. Refer to Section 5 for sensor installation information.

If control displays “HL” it means the high limit is open. Refer to Section 9 for high limit information.

System won’t start to heat, ensure the system is not in the delay mode. If “dLAY” is flashing in the display window, the system is in the delay mode.

If control displays “JP” it means the jumper is open on the main board in the CB Box. Verify jumper is installed in CN6 location on the main board. If it is open, close the two pins.

If control acts erratically or buttons turn on and off by itself during startup. Turn power off at the circuit breaker, place the glass on the control and turn power back on the system. The control will automatically reset the sensitivity of the capacitive switches.

CAUTION: Use only a contactor approved for 250,000 endurance Cylces

DIAGRAM 14: SL2 Control Mounting

Recessed Mounting For the SL2 Control
The recessed mounting box allows the control to mount with its surface almost even to the wall surface. Print this page to “Actual” Size on Printer Options. (This will ensure the size of the opening is correct). Cut out the middle of this page on the dotted lines. The hole will be the size of the mounting box. Insert the mounting box in the hole of this page to ensure it is the correct size.

Trace the paper cut out on the wall. Cut a hole in the wall to match the inner dotted line for the mounting box. Run the control cable out of the wall through the hole in the mounting box. Ensure the hole is just big enough to mount the box. Push the mounting box into the hole and turn the mounting screws to pull the tab tight against the inside of the wall. Ensure the box is level and the correct end is UP (there is an arrow on the wall side of the box pointing up).

Connect the Control coupler to the control cable then feed the cables and connector through the hole in the box and into the wall. Test the Control before mounting it into the wall.

Hang the top of the control glass on the top of the recessed box and press the bottom of glass to snap on to box.
