Thank you for purchasing your new Amerec steam generator. If we can be of any
assistance do not hesitate to call our Technical Support at 1-800-363-0251.
The K2 control is to be used only with a compatible AK steamer from Amerec. If
you have an older AK, contact Tech support for information about upgrading to a
compatible version.
The K2 does not come with a built in temperature sensor so a wall mounted sen-
sor must be installed in the steam bath.
The K2 may be installed on the wall either inside or outside the steam room. Only
one K2 may be installed. If a second control is desired, you may add an optional
K4 On/O control or a K3 (with temperature and time adjustments). The K3 and
K4 may be installed inside or outside the room.
The K2 comes with a Wi-Fi module which allows using an app in addition to the
K2. The SaunaLogic app is free for android or iOS devices and communicates
with Alexa, Echo and Siri devices. The Wi-Fi module connects to the steamer with
a 25 ft (7,6 m) cable (provided) to allow positioning the module where it will have
the best communications with your Wi-Fi system.

K2 CONTROL OVERVIEW
The K2 control is a low voltage wired control for use with Amerec’s AK series steam generators. The control requires an 8 con-
ductor CAT-5 cable (provided) to connect to the steamer. A temperature sensor (required) mounts inside the steam room and
connects to the steam generator.
The K2 uses touch screen switches to control the bath and options:
• start and stop the steam bath
• set or display the bath temperature *
• set the bath run time **
• set a delayed start time for the steam bath
• control low voltage room lights (optional)
• control a 2nd option, such as Amerec’s bluetooth connected speaker system (optional)
*The bath temperature may be displayed in either °F or °C, selected using a jumper on the steamer’s
circuit board.
** The bath time may be set for up to 60 minutes (default). A jumper on the steamer’s circuit board may
be used to set for a maximum bath time of up to 24 hours.
