Safety precautions:
Electrical connection work may only be performed by
a qualified electrician in accordance with VDE 0100.
All regulations issued by your local power supply
company are to be observed.
Only a qualified electrician is allowed to make repairs
to the electrical unit.
Risk of fatal accident.
Always follow the instructions listed in the assembly
and operating instructions.
The sauna light must be splash proof and be able to
withstand a temperature of 140°C.
Technical data:
Mains voltage 400 V 3~ 50 Hz
Heat cycle limit 6 hours
Light max. 300 W
Sensor KTY sensor with 136°C temperature cut-out
Control range 40°C to 125°C
Delivery Items supplied:
Central control unit
Sauna sensor (temperature sensor and
overtemperature cut-out)
Bag of assembly parts
Assembly:
The controller should be mounted on one of the
external sauna walls near the heater as is shown in
Fig. 1. In most cases, the mounting location is
already determined by empty cable conduits. The
controller with the cable bushings is then fastened
over the conduits.
Disassembling the case cover
The fixing screws can be undone using a recessed
head screwdriver through the side holes in the front
cover.
After removing both fixing screws and pulling off the
rotary knobs, the case cover can be detached
(Fig. 2).
Turn in the first screw (4x20 mm) approximately 3
mm as is shown in Figure 3 and hook on the case.
Position the case horizontally and fasten with the left
and right screws.
Use a sharp knife to enlarge the cable holes to the
size required for the electrical cables.

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.
Assembly in a sauna measuring 2m x 2m - Figure 4
Assembly in a sauna bigger than 2m x 2m - Figure 5
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

terminal 1 (Fig. 6) and the other wire to white
terminal 2 (Fig. 6) of the sensor circuit board.
Repeat this process for the red cable by clamping its
wires to red terminals 1 and 2 (Fig. 6). Finally, clamp
the white cable to the terminals marked „white 1“ and
„white 2“ and the red cable to the terminals marked
„red 1“ and „red 2“ as per the terminal diagram found
in the controller case. You can now snap the printed
circuit board into the protective case and affix it to
the ceiling with the two 3 x 16 mm screws.
Operation and functions
Refer to Figure 7 for the layout of the operator
controls.
1 = Heater switch
2 = Light switch
3 = Regulator knob for temperatures of
70°C to 110°C
4 = Regulator knob for timer
5 = Standby diode
6 = Heating mode diode
Operation:
Set switch No. 1 to HEAT, which illuminates the
green LED. You can alter the temperature inside the
sauna to the desired temperature using the regulator
knob. Depending on the temperature in the sauna at
the time, the red LED will illuminate to indicate that
heating is in process. Turning the regulator
clockwise increases the temperature; turning the
regulator counterclockwise decreases the
temperature. The controllable temperature range is
between approx. 40°C and 110°C. Please take into
account that the reading you see on the thermometer
in the sauna may deviate from the temperature you
programmed into the sauna controller as the
regulating sensor is located directly in the hot air
current of the heater. However, the regulation
mechanism is configured so that normal spa
temperatures are achieved in the sauna.
Use of the timer:
To set a time when the heating process should
begin, turn the timer regulator knob (Fig. 7, Item 1) to
the desired time interval.
Timer function:
The power switch (Fig. 7, Item 1) must be turned off.
Enter the desired amount of time before heating
begins.
Turn on the power switch [timer activation is signified
by a flashing heat diode (Item 6)].
Note that, for safety reasons, the time can only be
altered when the unit is switched off. Adjusting the
regulator (Fig. 7, Item 4) has no effect on the
previously entered time. If you would like to alter the
previously entered time, you must first turn off the
power switch, change the time, then turn the switch
on again. The time registered when switching the
power on is the new starting time for the timer.
Malfunctions:
If the green operating diode does not illuminate after
switching on, check that all 3 phases contact the 230
V neutral conductor on the incoming wire.

The device can be switched on (i.e. green LED is lit),
the heater warms up, but the preset temperature is
not reached.
- Check the sensor cable.
- Check the power supply to the heater (all 3 phases
must contact the zero conductor.)
- The regulator knob must stop when turned all the
way to the right and to the left and must not
rotate around its axis.
The unit can be switched on, but the heater does not
warm up.
- Check the overtemperature cut-out in the sensor
case. Resistance is approximately 0 ohms.
- Check the KTY sensor in the sensor case.
Resistance is approximately 1 kOhm at 21°C.
Check the cables leading to the sensor case for
short circuits and disconnections.
- The unit cannot be switched on but the LED
flashes.
- Check the timer. If necessary, turn the timer knob
to the left, switch off the controller, then switch it
back on.
Check the overtemperature cut-out:
The controller is equipped with an overtemperature
cut-out in the sensor case which in the event of
overtemperature, e.g. due to a defective controller,
forces the system to cut out at 127°C. A tripped
overtemperature cut-out is defective and the sensor
circuit board must be replaced.
Note for the electrician:
Bridge the overtemperature cut-out (strictly for
testing purposes only)
- Measure the voltage at the connector terminals.
A defective overtemperature cut-out reads
approx. 24 V ~.
