Dear customer,
with purchase of this sauna control unit you
opted for a superior quality, high-tech elec-
tronic device which was developed and
manufactured according to the highest stan-
dards and guidelines.
Please note that an optimal interaction of
sauna cabin, sauna oven and sauna control
unit is mandatory for a pleasant sauna cli-
mate in your cabin.
With this superior sauna control unit you can
„operate“ your sauna system, and thanks to
the many individual programming settings
you will surely soon find the setting that suits
you best.
Perception in the sauna is very subjective,
therefore it really requires your own percep-
tion, or that of your family to find the most
suitable settings.
By default the finnish sauna is preset to
95°C. For steam operation the values are
set to 60°C and 60% humidity.
The following operation instructions describe
how to pre-select „your“ climate in the cabin.
Read these instructions carefully, so that you
quickly and easily find your way though the
programming process.
Please note the variation in temperatures in
the cabin while sauna bathing. The hottest
area is directly under the cabin ceiling, whe-
reas there is a steady temperature gradient
towards the floor of the cabin. Inversely, the
relative humidity is lowest directly under the
cabin ceiling and the highest on the cabin
fl o or.
For safety reasons the temperature sensor
with the overheat safety shutdown is located
on the cabin ceiling above the oven, since
this is the hottest area in the cabin.
Therefore there will always be temperature
variations between the temperature sensor
of the control unit and the thermometer in
the cabin.
General information concerning sauna bathing
For the cabin light use only light bulbs. Do
not use fluorescent lamps, energy saving
lamps and gas discharge lamps.
For example, when pre-setting the cabin
temperature to 100°C, the thermometer in-
side the cabin may easily show 85°C - 90°C.
This complies with the typical climate inside
the cabin.
Always observe hygiene. Always use hand-
or bathing towels, to avoid getting perspirati-
on on the wood.
To protect your cabin from possible dama-
ges due to steam operation, we recommend
reheating or drying the cabin after every
steam bath.
In addition, a fan can help to dissipate used
humid air in badly ventilated areas.
To avoid the perception of draft, you should
avoid using any ventilation system while
sauna bathing. It should only be used if re-
commended by the cabin manufacturer
Always make sure no objects are
located on the sauna oven before
starting the heating cycle.

General safety precautions
•his device has not been designed for being
used by persons (including children) that
are physically or mentally handicapped
or have sensory disabilities. Moreover, it
is not allowed to use this device without
sufficient experience and/or knowledge,
unless these persons will be supervised
by persons responsible for their security
or in case they have been instructed how
to use this device.
• Children are to be supervised in order to
make sure that they do not play with this
device.
• Attention: It is forbidden to install
the control box in a closed switch ca-
binet or behind a wooden panelling!
• The electrical installation may be done
only by a qualified electrical technician.
• You must comply with the regulations of
your power supply company and applica-
ble VDE regulations (DIN VDE 0100).
• WARNING: Never attempt repairs
orinstallations yourself, as this could
result in serious injury or death. Only a
qualified technician may remove the hou-
sing cover.
• Please note the dimensions in the assem-
bly instructions, especially when installing
the temperature sensor. The temperature
above the oven is critical for the tempera-
ture setting. The temperature can be held
within operating parameters and a mini-
mal temperature gradient inside the bench
area of the sauna cabin can be achieved
only if unit is assembled correctly.
• The device may only be used as intended
as a control unit for sauna ovens up to 9
kW. (Up to 36 kW when combined with a
breaking capacitor).
• Completely disconnect the control unit
from the electrical circuit, i.e. flip all circuit
breakers or the main circuit breaker during
each installation or repair.
• Please note the safety and installation in-
formation from the sauna oven manufac-
turer.
• Always heed the specifications and in-
structions of the cabin manufacturer, too.

Assembly of the control unit
Wall mounting
Mount the control unit outside the sauna
cabin only. The most practical mounting
point would be the wall area onto which
the sauna oven is mounted on the inside,
except on the outside of the cabin. If elec-
trical conduits are present, mount the con-
trol unit accordingly. To mount the control
unit, please follow these instructions:
Illust. 1
1. Remove the cover of the control unit. To
do this press the fastening tab inwards
with a flat screwdriver and remove the
housing top by pivoting it upwards (Il-
lust.1). Drill the threaded holes for the
included 4 x 20 mm wood screws accor-
ding to Illust. 3 & 3.1.
2.Insert one of the wood screws into the
upper middle hole. This screw will be the
mounting point for the control unit. Make
sure the screw is projecting out from wall
about 3 mm. (Illust. 3.2)
3.Hang the control unit onto the 3 mm pro-
jecting screw. Insert the included rubber
sleeves into the openings on the back
side of the housing and lead the electri-
cal cable through these openings. Screw
the lower part of the housing onto the ca-
bin wall using the lower threaded holes.

GIn general, there can only be one per-
manent connection to the power supply
network, to include a device which allows
the unit to be disconnected from the power
source with a contact distance of at least 3
mm from all terminals.
All electrical installations and connector
cables inside the cabin must be able to
withstand temperatures up to 142°C. Ple-
ase use the table below to determine the
required cable diameters for this task.
Attach the power supply lead wire as shown
in Illust. 5 to the power supply terminals of
the control unit. Connection instructions
are printed directly in the control unit.

Connecting the sauna oven
Assemble the sauna oven according to the
instructions provided by the manufacturer
in front of the air intake opening.
Lead the silicon lines through the electrical
conduits to their respective terminals on the
control unit and connect them according to
the circuit diagram printed there.
Please note: If no electrical conduits are
present, drill a hole with a diameter of 10
mm next to the air intake opening and lead
the oven control cables through this hole
to their corresponding terminals (U V W) in
the control unit. To protect the silicon lines
from external influences, install them in a
shielded fashion. For this task, use a fitting
cable or simple PVC conduit and lead the
silicon cable through it to the control unit.
Connecting the sauna lamp
The sauna lamp must be splashproof (by
Standard IPx4) and resistant to ambi-
ent temperature. The sauna lamp can be
mounted anywhere except in the area of
the rising hot air above the oven.
Electrical connection
The electrical connection may
only be done by a qualified elec-
trical technician under authority of the
regulations of the local power supply
company and those of the VDE.

Connecting the sensor lines
ou should not install sensor and power sup-
ply lines together, or lead them through the
same conduit. This can lead to interferences
in the electronics, such as „fluttering“ in the
relays. If it is absolutely necessary to install
them together, or the wire is longer than 3m,
you should use a shielded sensor line such
as the LIYLY-O x 0.5 mm²). Connect the
shielding to mass in the control unit.
Please note that the following measure-
ments are based on values provided by the
unit quality assurance by the European Stan-
dard EN 60335-2-53. In principle, you must
mount the oven sensor where temperatures
are expected to be the highest. Illust. 7 gi-
ves you an overview of the mounting point of
the sensor..
Mounting the oven sensor
1. Mount the oven sensor in cabins up to 2
x 2m according to Illust. 7 and 8, in larger
cabins according to Illust. 7 and 9.
2.Drill a hole to lead the cable through, pre-
ferably through the middle of one of the
wooden boards.
3.Lead the sensor cable through the drilled
hole and attach it to the sensor line accor-
ding to Illust. 10.
4. Attach the lines for the shutoff (white) and
the temperature sensor (red) according to
Illust. 11 to the sensor board. Then insert
the sensor board into the housing.
5.After you are finished installing and have
made sure the control unit is functioning
properly, check the line for overheat shu-
toff protection for short circuits. To do this,
release one of the white lines in the sensor
housing. The safety relay of the control
unit should now fall; i.e. the heating circuit
should now be interrupted.
