WARING
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 0F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an
increase in the normal temperature of the body, dizziness,
lethargy,drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of the 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.
WARING
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication is capable of greatly
increasing the risk of fatal hyperthermia.
WARNING
Do not take a sauna if
using alcohol, drugs or
medications.
Pregnant women or
persons with poor
health should consult
their physician before
using any sauna.
Caution fire hazard: Do
not use the sauna room
for drying clothes,
bathing suits,etc. Do not
hang towels above
heater or place any
object other than the
rocks supplied on the
heater. If any darkening
of the wall around the
heater is noticed
discontinue sauna use
immediately.
Inspect sauna regularly
for required
maintenance to
heater,control and
benches. Replace wood
surfaces which show
any signs of
deterioration.
The heater gets
extremely hot during
operation and should
not be touched or burns
may result.
Minors should be
adequately supervised
whenever near a hot or
warming sauna.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 3

NTSA3/9 171130
Refer to diagram 1, hanging the heater on the wall. Drill four 9/64”
holes to fasten the heater to the wall. Install two 1/4”X1/2” hex head
lag screws (supplied with the heater ) into the upper two holes.
Tighten these screws until their heads are about 1/8” from the wall
surface. The screws must be threaded through the wall into a
framing member or backing board to support the heater weight.
Hang the heater on the two upper screws. Locate the two 1/4”X1”
hex head lag screws(supplied with the heater) then install them into
the two lower mounting holes. Tighten to lock the heater in place.
See Diagram 1 for the heater location details and the necessary
clearances to combustible materials.
Never operate the heater without rocks in place! Otherwise it may
cause fire, only use the original sauna rocks or the rocks for use in
heater. Use of any other type of rock may void the heaters warranty.
Rinse the rocks with water before placing through the heater.
Carefully place the rocks loosely so that the air can circulate through
the heater. Packing the rocks too tightly may cause the heater high
limit switch to trip. The rocks must fully cover the heating elements.
Attach the guard with the screws provided.
Electrical installation must be made by a licensed electrician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
All the wiring connection inside the heater has been done in
factory and carefully checked.
For on-heater control unit, customer only need to connect the power
supply, temperature sensor cable. Remove the compartment cover
from the front of the wiring box, route the feed wires through the
right holes provided in the bottom of the heater, connect the power
wires to the terminal TB1, route the temperature sensor cable
through the left holes provided in the bottom of the heater, connect
the cable to the terminal TB2,
For heater with wall-mount digital control unit, customer need to
connect the power supply to the terminal block in control box.
Connect the 6*12AWG+GND rubber cable wire and 2-p wire of
manual reset thermostat KT2, between control box and heater.
Connect the 6*12AWG+GND rubber cable wire to the terminal TB1,
connect the 2-p wire to the terminal TB2.

To determine the correct wire size, refer to Diagram 2. Use copper supply wire only, suitable
for minimum 221℉. The heater must be grounded! See Diagram 4, 5, 6 and 7 for proper
connections.
Mount sensor to finished wall 2” from the ceiling directly above the heater, see Diagram 1 ,3, 4
and 5. The temperature sensor box is equipped with 10 feet connection wire and connector.
Please drill a hole with 3/4 inch diameter, then lead the connecting wire through and connect it
to terminal TB2 of On-heater control unit (Diagram 6) or connector J3 on main-board in the
control box of wall-mount digital control unit (Diagram 7). Then open the box cover, fix the
temperature sensor on wall with screws, and put back the cover.
Sensor wire must be routed completely separate (as per low voltage electrical wiring codes)
from any wiring carrying over 50 volts.
Only sauna heater with wall-mounted digital control NTS-300 is equipped with control box.
The control box should be installed close to heater and outside of the sauna room. The
installation spot should be well-ventilated and dry, with enough space for wire layout; the
environment temperature cannot exceed 140℉; the control box can also be hanged on wall or
shelf. Please refer to Diagram 7 for the control box connecting.
Install a wooden heater guard to prevent the sauna bather from accidentally touching the
sauna heater. Install the heater guard rail with the dimensions shown in Diagram 1 and 12.
