INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

2.1. Using the Heater and the Steamer
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, choose the right heater grade from the settings menu (SET 3). See figure 3a. 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.

2.1.1. Heater and/or Steamer On
Heater and steamer are switched on and off independently (only with the Harvia Xenio CX30C-U1 model).

| Start the heater by pressing the I/O button on the control panel.
---|---
| Start the steamer by pressing the steamer I/O button on the control panel.

When the heater and/or steamer starts, the display will show previously set values for five seconds.
The shown values (temperature/humidity/on-time) differ depending on which devices are started.
When the desired temperature and/or humidity has been reached in the sauna room, the heating elements are automatically turned off. To maintain the desired temperature and/or humidity, the control unit will automatically turn the heating elements on and off in periods.
If the heater efficiency is suitable and the sauna has been built correctly, the sauna takes no more than an hour to warm up.

2.1.2. Heater and/or Steamer Off
The heater and/or steamer turn off and the control unit switches to standby- mode when

• the I/O button is pressed
• the on-time has elapsed or
• an error occurs.

If the water container runs empty, the steamer will be turned off, the water level warning light will blink and the display will show the text “OFF”.
If the water level sensor develops a failure, the steamer’s overheat protector will engage, the water level warning light will blink and the display will show the text “OFF”.
NOTE! It is essential to check that the control unit has cut off power from the heater after the on-time has elapsed, the dehumidification has ended or the heater has been switched off manually.

2.1.3. Changing the Settings
The settings menu structure and changing the settings is shown in figure 3.
The programmed temperature and humidity values and all values of additional settings are stored in memory and will also apply when the devices are switched on next time.
Note! The humidity value determines the maximum temperature in the sauna. The sum of temperature and humidity values can be 140 at maximum (temperature 60 °C + humidity 80 rH).
This is due to safety reasons.
If the steamer is activated and you try to set the temperature too high, the humidity value will blink in the display.
2.2. Using Accessories
Lighting and ventilation can be started and shut down separately from their own operating buttons.
2.2.1. 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.

2.2.2. 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.

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 figures 6a and 6b in this manual.
2.2.4 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.

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.
Preset time: if the control unit is on preset delay time, it cannot be controlled with a remote switch.
After the preset delay has passed and the heater is turned on, it can be turned off with a remote switch.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

The electrical connections of the control unit may only be made by a licensed professional electrician and in accordance with the current regulations.
When the installation of the control unit is complete, the person in charge of the installation must pass on to the user the Instructions for Installation and Use that come with the control unit and must give the user the necessary training for using the heater and the control unit.

1. Thread the data cable through the hole in the back cover.
2. Fasten the back cover to a wall with screws.
3. Push the data cable to the connector.
4. Press the front cover into the back cover.

3.1. Installing the Control Panel
The control panel is splashproof and has a low operating voltage. The panel can be installed in the dressing room, or in the living quarters. If the panel is installed in the sauna room, it must be at least 1,5 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.

3.2. 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.
3.2.1. 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 and 6b shows the electrical connections of the power units. For more detailed installation instructions see The Instructions for Installation and Use of the selected heater model.

Table 2. Max. heater power ratings.

3.2.3. 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 and 6b.

• 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 F1 has blown, there is a problem with lighting or fan. Check the wiring and functioning of lighting and fan.
• If the breaker F3 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 breaker of the control unit, by following the necessary precautions!

3.3. 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-mounted 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.
  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).

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.

3.4. Installing the Humidity Sensor
Fasten the humidity sensor on the wall as far from the heater as possible and at a distance of 20–28’’ (500–700 mm) from the ceiling. See figures 7 and 8.
3.5. 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.
