2.Important information for your safety
The PRO B2 / PRO B3 sauna control unit has been manufactured
in accordance with the applicable safety regulations. However,
hazards may arise during use. Therefore adhere to the following
-
ual chapters. Also observe the safety information for the devices
connected.
2.1. Intended use
The PRO B2 / PRO B3 sauna control unit is used exclusively for
operating and controlling the sauna functions in accordance with
the technical data.
The PRO B2 / PRO B3 sauna control unit may only be used for
as satisfying the combustion test described in paragraph 19.101
of EN 60335-2-53. If the heater does not meet this requirement,
an appropriate safety precaution must be taken (for example: Con-
5.8 on page 20).
The PRO B2 / PRO B3 sauna control unit may only be used for
operating and controlling 3 heating circuits with a maximum heating
output of 3.5 kW per heating circuit. The maximum vaporizer output
(PRO B3 only) is 3.5 kW.
Any use exceeding this scope is considered improper use. Improper
use can result in damage to the product, severe injuries or death.

3.3. Product features
PRO B2
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 switching capacity to be increased from
10.5 kW to 18 kW or 30 kW.
Switching a cabin light (up to 100 W)
Remote start function
Door monitoring system
Preset time function (up to 24 hours)
Automatic heating time limit
The sauna control unit shuts down automatically after the maximum heating
time for safety reasons. The maximum heating period can be set to 6 h, 12 h,
18 h or 24 h.
Instructions for installation and use p. 10/38
Overheat cut-out
The overheat cut-out is installed in the housing for the heater sensor. If a
defect causes the sauna heater to continue heating after reaching the pre-
temperature of around 139 °C.
PRO B3
Same functional scope as the PRO B2, with the following additional features:
Regulation of combi heaters with a heating output of up to 10.5 kW and va-
porizer output of up to 3.5 kW in the temperature range spanning 30 °C to
110 °C and a humidity range spanning 5% to 100 %.
Post-drying program
After operation in combined mode, the post-drying program starts automat-
ically to prevent mould or rot from forming in the sauna cabin. This involves
heating the sauna cabin to 80°C with the fan running.
The duration can be set from OFF - 60 minutes.
3.4. Sauna operating modes
The sauna control unit PRO B2 enables sauna mode. The sauna control unit
PRO B3 enables two operating modes, sauna mode and combi mode.
Sauna mode
Dry heat is provided in sauna mode. The temperature in the cabin is high (80 to
100°C). The humidity is low (no more than 10%).
Combi mode (PRO B3 only)
In combined mode, the vaporizer operates along with the heater. The temper-
ature in the sauna cabin is lower (around 40 to 65 °C) than in sauna mode, but
the relative humidity is much higher, ranging from 35% to 70%. The maximum
humidity that can be set depends on the temperature of the sauna. The higher
the sauna temperature, the lower the maximum humidity level which can be set
(see characteristic curve on page 11).
EN
Instructions for installation and use p. 11/38
3.5. Sensor operating modes
The sauna control unit can be operated with one or two sensors. A temperature
sensor (bench sensor, F2) or a humidity/temperature sensor (FTS2, PRO B3
only) can be used as the second sensor.
Single sensor mode (F1)
Single-sensor mode must be activated using the function selection switch (see
8.5. Activating/deactivating the single-sensor mode on page 25).
In single-sensor mode, the sauna control unit is operated with the heater sensor
with overheat cut-out (F1) only. This is included in the scope of delivery.
In single-sensor mode, the sauna control unit only displays the set temperature as
standard. The actual temperature is not displayed. If the sauna control unit is to
display the temperature above the heater (F1 sensor) as the actual temperature
in single-sensor mode, this must be activated during commissioning (see page
8.7. Displaying the heater temperature in single-sensor mode on page 26).
PRO B3 only: The maximum humidity level which can be set is based on the
temperature above the heater, and the humidity is timed. Only the set value for
the humidity level (in % of relative humidity) is displayed by the sauna control unit.
The actual humidity in the sauna cabin when the humidity is timed depends on
Two-sensor mode with bench sensor (F2)
Two-sensor mode is the factory setting.
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.
PRO B3 only: In two-sensor mode with bench sensor, the humidity is timed.
Only the preset value for the humidity (in % relative humidity) is shown on the
display of the sauna control unit. The actual humidity in the sauna cabin when
the humidity is timed depends on the size of the cabin and the vaporizer output,
Instructions for installation and use p. 12/38
PRO B3 only:
Two-sensor mode with humidity/temperature sensor (FTS2)
Two-sensor mode is the factory setting.
When a humidity/temperature sensor is used in two-sensor mode, the sauna
control unit displays the temperature which is measured by the humidity/tem-
perature sensor as the actual temperature.
In two-sensor mode with humidity/temperature sensor, the vaporizer is regulated
in accordance with the humidity level measured in the sauna cabin. The sauna
control unit displays the actual humidity (in % relative humidity) in the sauna cabin.

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 cabin 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 cables supplied with
the unit, which are heat-resistant up to 150°C.
ATTENTION!
Damage to the unit
The sauna control unit is resistant to splashing water, but direct contact with
water could still damage it.
Install the sauna control unit in a dry place at which a maximum humidity of
95% is not exceeded.
The sensor leads may be extended under the following conditions:
A silicon cable resistant to temperatures up to 150 °C is used.
The minimum cross-sectional of the cable is 0.5 mm2.
The heater sensor cables may NOT be longer than 10 m.
ATTENTION!
Interference can impair signal transmission
Route all sensor cables separately from other mains cables and control cables.
Protect cables with only one layer of insulation by using a conduit (double
insulation).
