April ‘13 Oceanic Sauna Heater Manual
Thank you for choosing to buy our Oceanic Sauna heater; please take the time to read
these instructions before you begin as they contain important information about the
installation and maintenance requirements.
“Oceanic” sauna heaters are available in specifications from 3kw to 9kw and are
equipped with our OC-SA digital controller. With this not only can you control the temperature and time
duration of your sauna bath but also the light of the sauna room, alter the temperature display between
Centigrade and Fahrenheit; as well as displaying the sauna heater’s status.
Every “Oceanic” sauna heater is thoroughly tested before leaving the factory.
IMPORTANT
•Read the manual before installation and operation and then keep it for reference
•This equipment must be installed by competent person
•This equipment must be connected to an all pole isolator of the correct rating
•Disconnect the power supply before exposing electrical connections
•All heaters can be connected single phase(230v) or triple phase(400v), this can be easily changed by
adding bridge connectors across the connections L1, L2 and L3.
•5 core silicon bound heat proof cable must be used to wire from the control to the heater. (For 230v and
400v) Wire the letters with the corresponding letters on the heater. For example: U V W on the control
go to U V W on the heater, the three lives for the elements, the reason for having three is because each
element is controlled individually. When the heater reaches the desired temp it cuts out two elements.
•The sauna heater should not be used for any other purpose
•Do not cover the heater or allow contact with flammable materials such as toweling – Risk of fire.
•Do not operate sauna heater without sauna stone
•Do not touch the heater when operational as it is very hot
•Sauna heater must have right earth connection, the earth wire should be bigger than the power supply
wire to sauna heater
•The sauna controller should be installed on a dry wall outside the sauna cabin

Chapter Four: Testing and operation
1. Testing
•After checking that the sauna heater installation is correct, put the sauna stone in place (note we
recommend washing the stones thoroughly in water to remove any dust before the first use). Put the
larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones on top. Take care not to pack the stones too tightly other
wise the air will not be able to circulate around the elements which can cause premature failure, but do
make sure to cover the elements completely. Note that it will be necessary to change the stones from
time to time as they will gradually crumble with use. For commercial users this is probably every year,
for domestic users once every several years, depending upon use. (Fig 11)
(Fig 11)
•Before connecting to the power supply check the sauna heater and make sure there are no flammable
items on or around the heater, please note that on the first use the elements and stones may smoke
slightly and give off a smell – please ensure the sauna cabin is well ventilated.
•Connect to power supply, press “ON/OFF “, temp and time windows will display data, LED shows the
sauna’s heating status when the light is on, the temperature of sauna room will rise and will achieve the
preset temperature (the default settings are 70
o
C/158
o
F, work time is 2 hours) chart 9
•When the time has finished counting down and the time window displays “0”, the controller and heater
will shut down automatically.
•The sauna heater has a sequential heating function so that the heater can work economically. When
the heater is first turned on all the elements will work together to reach the target temperature, when the
target is reached one element will be left working to keep the target temperature constant (for OCS30,
OCS40 ,one bank will stop ). When sauna room temperature goes 2
o
C/ 4
o
F above the target
temperature all heat elements will stop. When the temperature of the sauna goes below the target
temperature, one bank heat element will work again, when the temperature goes 2
o
C/ 4
o
F below the

target temperature, all heat elements will work again.
•Light button: Turns sauna light on/off
•Use temperature switch button to change the temperature display between centigrade and Fahrenheit
•The Controller has a timing device so you can set a time when you want the heater to power up, this
can be set from 0~12 hours as shown in the Chart 9 below. When the controller is in B Model (Timer
mode) the heater can’t operate, but when B Model reaches “0” or the “Model Button” is pressed the
heating function will start (A Model). This is explained more at the bottom of this page.

press the time will increase or reduce 10 minutes. When you reach the time want, wait and after 5
seconds the time window will stop flashing, now the setting is confirmed.
•To set your heater to come on at a certain time (for example: if your watching a film and want the sauna
to start heating up half way through so its ready for the end of the film) you can use the B model setting
which can be set if you press the “Model button” and the time window will display 4.00 minutes, now
press the “time adjust button” (the time will now flash) “ ▲” or “▼” and set the amount of time you want

Chapter Six Maintenance
We recommend that you inspect the sauna heater on a regular basis for any signs of deterioration of the
condition, pay particular attention to both the fastenings, the condition of the wiring and the electrical elements.
Note if the rocks have started to crumble this can cause the elements to overheat and they should be changed
for new rocks. We recommend commercial operators to change the rocks at least once very 12 months.
Sauna Heaters & Sauna Cabins Maintenance
All Sauna products supplied by Direct Saunas Limited and Oceanic Saunas are for use in an indoor
environment such as a domestic house or a club building and should not be used in any other circumstances.
Sauna Maintenance
Dependant upon how regularly the sauna cabin is being used a series of maintenance checks should be
performed on the sauna cabin and sauna heater to ensure that they are kept in a good state of repair.
For commercial users we recommend these inspections be conducted on a monthly basis by a member of the
maintenance staff and detailed records kept.
For domestic use these checks should be carried out every 6 months.
Any obvious deterioration should be noted immediately if noticed in between maintenance checks and should
be resolved before continuing use of the products.
Under no circumstances do we recommend operating the sauna cabin if any electrical wiring is considered to
be hazardous, please contact your electrician or our technical department for assistance .
Maintenance Checks
Please note all maintenance checks should be preformed whilst the sauna cabin and sauna heater are cold.
Sauna Heater:
Ensure the heater has been correctly disconnected from the mains electricity before these checks are
conducted
1) Check sauna elements for signs of deterioration. Report any signs of deterioration to the supplier
2) Make sure all rocks are placed correctly onto the heater elements to ensure an adequate airflow around
the elements. Note that the rocks will gradually crumble and settle around the elements which can then
cause overheating, this may lead to early failure or even melting of the elements.
For commercial operators an electrician must periodically inspect and ensure all the wiring is in a good
condition and all connections are good and tight – a good idea would be to have this carried out annually as for
PAT testing.

Sauna Cabin
1) Ensure all signage (safety and usage) is in place and in a readable condition.
2) Check the benches are secure and have no signs of deterioration, if benches have become loose
ensure they are tightened correctly.
3) If there are any splinters on the bench sand over lightly until they have been removed.
4) Any major damage to the benches should be reported to the supplier and further advice will be given.
5) Ensure the timbers surrounding the heater have not become charred. Any offending timber slats
should be replaced in a reasonable time period.
6) Ensure that the heater guard is in place and conforms to the clearance distances stated in the sauna
heater manual. Check for any signs of charring and replace the heater guard if it is showing signs of
disrepair.
7) The sauna cabin should be kept in a clean and hygienic state at all times. It is recommended that the
benches in the sauna are wiped down with a weak solution of disinfectant and water after each use we
especially recommend this in commercial divisions. The floor in the sauna should be mopped
regularly.
Chapter Seven: Warranty & After Sales
All Oceanic Sauna Heaters are guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase against faulty materials or
workmanship. The guarantee excludes consumable items such as the electrical elements and faults arising
from misuse or abuse of the appliance.
Elements last for 2500 hours, after this time has passed you should be expecting to buy new ones, premature
failure can be caused by:
- A half filled rock basket.
- Rocks forced against elements from bad filling
- Customers throwing large amounts of water over the rocks, for heavy duty places we recommend
screwing the bucket to the bench this prevents this from happening.
- Incorrectly wired heater.
For warranty claims and after sales service outside or the guarantee please contact your local Oceanic dealer.
If you encounter any difficulty with this assembly procedure or think we could have explained anything
more clearly we would welcome your comments, please ℡01902 655425 or 01902 871127 technical help
