2. Important safety information
NARVI infrared control units are manufactured in accordance with
applicable standards and generally accepted rules of technology.
Nevertheless, risks may occur. Therefore, make sure you observe
the safety instructions included in each section. These are marked
by the signal words described above.
Intended use
NARVI infrared controls are exclusively suitable for controlling
infrared heaters (for use in infrared or sauna cabins), in accordance
with the technical specifications. The infrared heaters a used must
comply with the applicable standards and have a safety temperature
limit.
Any use of the infrared control unit other than described is
considered improper use. This can lead to product damage, serious
injuries or death.

Installation and operation instructions P. 5/20
2.1. Safety instructions for the installer
•Installation may only be carried out by an electrician or a similarly
qualified person.
•Work on the infrared control may only be carried out when it is
disconnected from the power supply.
•The instructions provided by the cabin manufacturer must also
be followed when installing the infrared control.
•An all-pole disconnecting device of overvoltage category III must
be provided.
•The control panel is splash-proof (IPX4) and suitable for ambient
temperatures from 10 °C to 80 °C.
•The electrical cable to the infrared heater must have a minimum
cross-section of 1.5 mm² and be temperature-resistant up to
150 °C.
•When installed in public saunas, a control lamp must be provided
in the supervisor’s room to indicate whether the infrared heater
is switched on.
•The maximum permissible infrared radiation in a cabin, as set out
by EN 60335-2-53, must not be exceeded. Therefore, this must be
checked before installation based on Annex ‘BB’ of the standard
and taken into account accordingly when choosing the heater
output and the number of heaters. You can also consult your
cabin manufacturer on this matter.
•If you have any questions that are not sufficiently addressed in
this installation guide, contact your supplier.

2.2. Safety instructions for the user
•The infrared control unit must not be used by children under
8 years of age.
•The infrared control unit may be used by children over 8 years
of age, by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, and by persons with a lack of experience and
knowledge only under the following conditions: if they are
supervised or if they have been instructed on how to use it safely
and they understand potential hazards.
•Children must not play with the device.
•Children under 14 years of age may clean the infrared control
unit only under supervision.
•For health reasons, do not use the infrared control if you are
under the influence of alcohol, medications or drugs.
•Before start-up, ensure that the infrared heater(s) is/are not
covered (fire hazard)!
•It is recommended it avoid infrared radiation within 24 hours
after UV radiation from an artificial source or from sunbathing.
•Persons at risk of overheating (e.g., those with cardiovascular
diseases) should consult their doctor, in case of doubt, before
using an infrared or sauna cabin.
•If a permanent erythema (lasting redness of the skin for more
than one day) or a web-like discoloration persist, do not repeat
the radiation and consult your doctor.
•Before the first use of the cabin, operate the infrared heaters for
about 30 minutes and then ventilate the area thoroughly.
