Electrical connection:
Ensure that electrical connection work is performed
exclusively by an authorized electrician and that it is
in accordance with the guidelines set by the local
power supply company as well as the applicable
VDE standard for sauna heaters.
It is essential for the controller to be soundly
connected to the power supply. The customer is
responsible for installing a disconnecting device that
disconnects all poles from the power supply at a
minimum distance of 3 mm.
It also important to ensure that all electrical
components, such as cables, lamps, etc. are able to
withstand a minimum temperature of 140°C. All
flexible cables must have connector sleeves.
Cable cross sections depend on the heater being
used and are described in the operating manual of
the respective heater. A cross section of 2.5 mm_
should be used in order to obtain the maximum
output (9 KW) from the sauna controller.
Important note:
• The neutral conductor (N) of the heater must
always be connected to the sauna controller,
otherwise malfunctions could occur.
Connecting the sauna heater:
Position the sauna heater in front of the air intake
opening as per the assembly instructions provided by
the manufacturer and feed the silicon cables through
the empty cable conduits up to the controller.
Note: If there are no empty cable conduits inside the
sauna, drill a hole next to the air intake opening and
feed the silicon cable along the outside to the
controller through a suitable wiring conduit or cable
duct. Connect the stripped ends of the various wires
(PE, N, U, V, W) as per the terminal diagram glued
inside the controller case.
Connecting the sauna light:
The sauna light must be able to withstand
temperatures of at least 140°C and has to be splash
proof (IP54).
Ensure that the sauna light is never mounted near
the heater but always in the place stipulated by the
sauna manufacturer.
The power cable must also be able to withstand
temperatures of at least 140°C.
Connect the stripped ends of the various wires (N,
L1, PE) as per the terminal diagram glued inside the
controller case.
Important note:
After installation, all cables must be checked for
short circuits. The cable for the overtemperature cut-
out is especially important or there will be no
guarantee that the controller is switched off in the
event of a malfunction.
Connecting the temperature sensor and
overtemperature cut-out
Never place cables designed to withstand 140°C
next to the mains cables, otherwise malfunctions
could eventually occur.
Note:
The measurements in the diagram below are taken
from those listed in device testing regulation EN
60335-53-2. It is essential that the heater sensor is
mounted in the part of the sauna where the highest
temperatures are to be expected.

Insert the power cable of the temperature sensor
(terminals marked „white“ 1 and 2) and the
overtemperature sensor (red 1 and red 2) through
the pre-drilled 8 mm hole in the ceiling. Now clamp
one of the two wires of the white cable to white
