16 Installation Instructions - Relay Box for Infrared Cabins
Installation
EN
Installation
This chapter describes how to install the relay box.
In a multi-cabin installation, all data lines and power supply cables must be
routed and plugged in before installing the relay boxes and control units.
NOTICE
Equipment damage
Corrosive environments or environments with high levels of saline
in the air could damage lines and circuit boards.
Use the power unit only in non-corrosive environments.
Salt aerosols should only be used inside the cabin.
4.1 Power supply and data lines
All electrical installations and all connecting lines routed inside the cabin
must be suitable for an ambient temperature of at least 70°C in infrared-
only cabins.
All lines must be routed in such a way that they are well-protected, e.g. in a
cable conduit.
NOTICE
Electronics malfunctions
Routing data and power supply lines together can lead to elec-
tronics malfunctions because, e.g. because the sensor will not be
detected.
Do not route sensor and sauna bus lines together with power
supply lines.
Route separate cable conduits.
Line routing
The lines from the individual components to the power unit may not
exceed 5.5 m in length.
If you connect more than one emitter per heating circuit, you must termi-
nate the corresponding lines in the on-site plug-in modules outside the
relay box. See Example – plug-in modules (optional), 39
The control line must only be routed between the insulation and the outer
wall of the cabin. Cabin insulation must be installed in such a way that the
temperature in the area in which cables are routed cannot exceed 75°C.

Relay Box for Infrared Cabins - Installation Instructions 17
Installation
Extending the control unit's control line
The control line may be extended to approx. 100 m, if necessary.
The maximum line length for the EmoTouch 3 control unit is 25 m. For extra
long connections, special RJ10/RJ14 connecting lines with a length of
10 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100 m are available as an option.
Alternately, the 5-m line can also be extended with an RJ12/RJ12 coupling
and an RJ12/RJ12 extension cord (optional accessory).
If the line length is greater than 25 m, a special bus amplifier (accessory)
with power supply must also be installed near the control unit and con-
nected to it. The bus amplifier requires a 230-V mains connection.
4.2 Installation work inside the cabin
At minimum, the cabin lighting and a temperature sensor must be
installed inside the cabin. Additional connections are possible, depending
on the amenities, e.g. coloured lights and audio systems as optional add-
on modules.
Example – cabin
The position and number of IR emitters and foils (IR emitters) can vary
depending on the design of the cabin.
The temperature sensor must be installed where expected temperatures
are the highest. In an infrared cabin, this is typically at the centre of the
cabin ceiling.

NOTICE
Equipment damage due to improper installation
Additional modules with a safety temperature limiter can be
mounted in a cabin.
Connect the safety temperature limiter only to the relevant
module.
Never connect more than one safety temperature limiter to a
module.
Always connect the safety temperature limiter as an isolated
contact.
4.2.1 Installing an infrared emitter
WARNING
Fire hazard from overheating
Infrared emitters and heating foils without overheat protection
can lead to overheating of the cabin and fire. Flammable parts
must not exceed a temperature of 140°C when the unit is operated
as intended or in the event of a malfunction.
Install only infrared emitters or heating foils that are designed
and installed in such a way that they do not pose a fire hazard
when the unit is operated as intended. Alternately, infrared
emitters or heating foils with overheat protection as per EN
60335-2-53 may be used.
Install a safety temperature limiter if needed.
Observe the manufacturer's safety and installation instructions
for infrared emitters and heating foils.
Observe the cabin manufacturer’s safety and installation in-
structions.
You can connect multiple IR emitters to terminals IR-1, IR-2 and IR-3. Ensure
that the cross-section of the lines is sufficient.
The total output may not exceed 3.5 kW.
If terminals IR-1 and IR-2 together have a load of less than 2.3 kW, IR-3 can
accept a maximum switching load of up to 1.2 kW. In this case, the fuse at

Installation
F2 (T4A H 250V) must be replaced by a T6.3 A H 250 V fuse. See 5.2 Circuit
board assignment, 31.
Use a plug-in module if you want to connect multiple IR emitters to one
connection.
See Example – plug-in modules (optional), 39.
4.2.2 Installing the temperature sensor
The temperature sensor must be installed where expected temperatures
are the highest.
The IR control system prevents ambient temperatures from exceeding
70°C. Therefore, a safety temperature limiter is not needed in IR-only instal-
lations. The safety temperature limiter on the relay box’s circuit board is
therefore jumpered by default.
See IR relay box circuit board, 31.
Hardware + tools:
Temperature sensor and connecting cables
Drill to drill a hole in the cabin ceiling
Screwdriver
Taught wire, as needed

4.2.3 Installing cabin lighting
Lighting can be installed anywhere, however not near rising hot air. The
light output is set to inductive load by default, but light bulbs, halogen HV
bulbs and other resistive loads may also be connected to it. If required, the
light output can also be manually set to capacitive loads.
Setting the light output, see 7.4 Defining the light source manually, 62.
Cabin lighting is not included in the scope of delivery. Observe the sepa-
rate installation instructions for lighting.
Light source requirements:
Minimal output 5 W
Resistive loads max. 100 W
Dimmable energy-saving bulbs max. 35 W
Light sources with conventional transformers max. 60 VA
