for operating and controlling infrared cabins. The control units are approved for private
and commercial use.
Intended
use
CAUTION!
Danger caused by improper use!
Using the Infrared control for purposes other than the intended use
could lead to dangerous situations.
Therefore:
– Use the Infrared control only for the intended purpose.
– Operate the Infrared control only within the permissible ambient
temperature and humidity range. →See page 9.
– All the information in the operating and installation manual are to be
strictly followed.
– When the Infrared control is not in use, then switch off the main
switch (230V) or the fuses.
– Before switching on the Infrared control, make sure that nothing is on
the infrared heater.
Any damage claims which arise due to improper use are excluded. Only the user is
responsible for damages caused by improper use.
1.4 Changes and modifications

1.5 Operational safety and special dangers
Pay attention to the safety and warning notes in the following chapters of this manual to
minimize health hazards and to avoid dangerous situations.
The following instructions are to be adhered to for your own safety and the safety
of the unit:
Electric poten-
tial
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric potential!
Contact with live components can be fatal.
Damage of the insulation of the individual components can be dange-
rous to life.
Therefore:
– For switching off the mains, the power supply cable must be
equipped with a fuse with a contact opening width corresponding to
the requirements of the excess voltage category III for total discon-
nection.
– Disconnect the unit from the mains before carrying out any work on
it (switch off the fuse in the distribution box) and secure against re-
starting. Check for zero potential. The control device should be dis-
connected from the mains before opening the casing.
– In case of damage to the insulation, switch off the power supply im-
mediately and carry out the repair.
– Work on electrical unit should be carried out by certified electricians
only.
– Never bypass fuses or switch them off.
– While replacing fuses, pay attention to correct current specifications.
– Keep moisture away from live components, since it can lead to short
circuit.
WARNING!
If a short circuit occurs in a 230V/400V load, the relay contact can
be welded by the high short-circuit current. Is turned on before
removing the short circuit, the safety relay can be also welded.
This can lead to the continuous operation of the load. Turn off the
circuit breaker in the junction box. Send the unit back to the fac-
tory for check/repair.
Improper
operation
WARNING!
Improper operation can result in serious injuries!
Therefore:
– read and note the operating manual.

Information on the operating and installation manual
An operating manual as well as an installation manual are available for the FASEL con-
trol unit.
The operating manual is meant for the user and gives important instructions for handling
the FASEL control unit.
The installation manual describes the assembly, installation, commissioning, rectifica-
tion of defects and repair and is provided exclusively for the technical personnel.
To ensure safe operation and working practices, all the prescribed safety instructions
and guidelines have to be followed.
Furthermore, the local accident prevention regulations and general safety regulations
applicable for the fields of use of the control unit are to be adhered to.
The operating manual must be read carefully before switching on the device. The oper-
ating manual as well as the installation manual are an integral part of the product and
must be kept in the immediate vicinity of the control unit so that they are always acces-
sible.
The number of available connections and functions depends on the version of the de-
vice. The keys and the display text can be customized depending on the particular
model and can differ from the figures shown.
If you pass on the control unit to a third party, make sure you hand over also the operat-
ing and installation manual.
Components from other suppliers have their own operating manuals, safety regulations
and guidelines, which must be followed as well.

4.1 Function
Die the control unit is suitable for the following mode:
Infrared
4.1.1 Infrared
In the "Infrared" mode, an infrared heater (infrared lamp or heating surfaces) produces
an IR-radiation. This heats the air in the cabin.
As long as the infrared heater heats up, the status LED shows "IR" and the display
shows heat-up phase. Once 2/3 of the desired temperature is reached, this message
disappears. The cabin is ready for use.

jects.
Health
hazard
WARNING!
Danger of injury caused by covering the temperature sensor and /
or the humidistat!

NOTE!
The temperature values displayed on the control unit may vary from that
displayed on the thermometers mounted additionally in the cabin. This
may be because of the following reasons:
Depending on the cabin, temperatures differences of up to 40K can oc-
cur from the floor to ceiling.
Analogue instruments are slower to react than the electronic measure-
ment and display system used in the control unit.

The following example describes how to adjust the set point temperature.
The heating time, the remaining heating time and the timer are adjusted similarly.
Note the following points:
If you want to adjust the set point temperature, set point humidity, heating time, re-
maining heating time or the timer, the corresponding symbol must light up at the
right of the display. That is, the symbol "Temperature" should light up if you want to
adjust the temperature.
The heating time and the remaining heating time use the same symbol. The value
which you adjust depends on the status of the lamp next to the mode key.
Heating time Remaining heating time
The heating time is the operating time for
the selected mode..
The remaining heating time is the re-
maining time when the mode is turned
on. The remaining heating time is re-
duced automatically.
The heating time can be adjusted if the
lamp next to the mode key flashes.
The remaining heating time can be ad-
justed if the lamp next to the mode key
lights up.
The modified remaining heating time
does not change the programmed heat-
ing time.
