3.3. Product functions
The sauna control unit Pro B2 features the following functions:
●Regulation of sauna heaters with a heating output of up to 10.5 kW in the
temperature range spanning 30 °C to 110 °C.
●A power booster allows the maximum contact rating to be increased from
10.5 kW to 18 kW or 30 kW.

heatero󰀨atatemperatureofapprox.139°C.

EN
Instructions for installation and use p. 9/30
3.4. Sensor operating modes
The sauna control unit can be operated with one or two temperature sensors.
Single-sensor mode (F1)
Single-sensormodemustbeactivatedwhenstartingupthesaunafortherst
time (see 8.3. Activating/deactivating the single-sensor mode on page 22).
In single-sensor mode, the sauna control unit is operated with the heater sensor
with an excess temperature fuse (F1) only. In single-sensor mode, the sauna
control unit only displays the set temperature. The actual temperature is not dis-
played. Should the sauna control unit display the temperature above the heater
(F1) as an actual temperature in single-sensor mode, it must be activated when
startingupforthersttime(see8.4. Displaying the heater temperature in
single-sensor mode on page 22)
Two-sensor mode with bench sensor (F2)
In two-sensor mode with bench sensor, a second temperature sensor (bench
sensor) is installed above the rear sauna bench. The sauna control unit displays
the temperature measured by the bench sensor as the actual temperature.

4. Installation
4.1. Installing the sauna control unit
Observe the following points when installing the sauna control unit:
●The sauna control unit must be installed outside the sauna room or in accord-
ance with the recommendation issued by the sauna manufacturer.
●The ambient temperature must be within a range spanning -10 °C to +40 °C.
●The sensors may only be connected using the sensor wires provided with the
unit, which are heat-resistant up to 150 °C.
ATTENTION!
Damage to the unit
The sauna control unit is protected against jets of water, however direct contact
with water could still damage the unit.
●Install the sauna control unit in a dry place at which a maximum humidity of
95 % is not exceeded.
The sensor wires may be extended under the following conditions:
●When a silicon wire resistant to temperatures up to 150 °C is used.
●The minimum cross-section of the wire is 0.5 mm2.
●The length of the heater sensor wires may NOT exceed 10 m.
ATTENTION!
Sources of interference can have a negative eect on signal transmission
●Lay all sensor wires separately from other mains wires and control wires.
●Protect wires with only one layer of insulation by using a pipe (double insulation).
