light option in your sauna. The Innova Control Units are available on a
separate or built-in mounting on the Power Controller Board.

Only a qualified electrician is allowed to make the electrical connec-
tions and repairs on the unit. Use original parts only.
Disconnect the Power Controller and the Contactor Unit from the
electrical circuit before installation, opening the lid of the power
controller or contactor unit and repair.
Check power supply rating before installation.
Check the correct location of the sensor in the installation section of
the manual. It is very important to place the temperature sensor
correctly as it closeness of the air ventilation cools down the sensor
and may lead to overheating.
The control unit can be operated on a room temperature 0-40°C. Do
not install the control unit inside the sauna room!
Do not pour water in the control unit or clean it with wet cloth. For
cleaning purposes, use a cleaning cloth that has been only slightly
moistened with a mild soapy solvent (dish detergent).

mended to install door sensor. The door
sensor disables all pre-run operations if the
door is opened while the pre-run count-
down is active.

alarm and “DOOR” will be displayed to warn
the user. The heater will be switched off
automatically.
4.7 Fan (Optional)
The fan function can only be activated if the
fan feature is present on the control unit.
Ensure that the fan motor to be controlled is
either shaded pole or permanent split
capacitor motor. The maximum power
is100W with 230 VAC.
4.8 Dimmer (Optional)
It is possible to use any suitable lamp of your
choice in the sauna room. However, if the
dimmer feature is present on the control unit
and wished to be used, only incandescent
lamp is suitable.
Note!
If door sensor is not installed, “Door switch”
terminals(D-D) must be connected with each
other by a jumper wire. See figure 1. Note,

2.7.2 Humidity & Temperature in the Sauna
2.7.3 Cabin Drying
2.7.1 Steamer
2.7 Combi Features
These features for steamer are only appli-
cable with Combi heaters.
If during the steamer session the operation
mode is changed to heater only, there will
be no drying time at the end of the session.
You can abort cabin drying by pressing the
ESC button.
High humidity and high temperature are not
allowed simultaneously in the sauna room.
When sauna session is switched to steamer
session, sensors will check that the
temperature or the relative humidity inside
the sauna room is not too high.
If the temperature or relative humidity is
too high, the steamer will not be activated.
Steamer activation depends on the second
sensor, the bench sensor. If it is a tempera-
ture sensor only, and the bench tempera-
ture in the sauna room is 56°C or more, the
steamer cannot be activated. The user can
choose the relative time for the steamer to
be on, within 30-100% of the session time.
However, if the second sensor is combined
temperature / humidity sensor, the
maximum bench temperature for the
steamer to activate is 80°C, as long as the
relative humidity in the sauna room is not
too high. With the combined sensor, the
user can choose the relative humidity inside
the sauna room.
The standard drying time is set for 30
minutes at 70°C. If the fan is connected
with the control unit, it will be running at
100%, during the cabin drying. The cabin
drying is set to begin 10 minutes after the
steamer session. Therefore, the actual
drying time is 20 minutes.
