Elite Control Installation Instructions
The control panel can be installed inside or outside the sauna room. If the control is installed inside
the room, install no higher than 3’ (90 cm) above the oor. No closer than 12” (30 cm) to heater.
Installation without Mounting Bracket
Cut a 1-3/16” (3 cm) hole through the wall big enough for the control panel connector.
Attach the double-sided adhesive to the control panel. Before applying the control to the wall, con-
nect it to the heater and electrically test everything rst. Clean the surface where the control will be
applied to remove all dust. Remove the protective backing from the adhesive. Silicone sealant can
be applied in the groove on the back of the panel as an extra seal. Connect the control wire, push the
excess wire through the hole in the wall and press the control panel rmly to the wall.
Installation with Bracket
Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark screws holes on the wall. Tighten the screws a little
until the bracket is nearly secured.
Remove the bracket from the wall. Use adhesive to mount the control to the bracket. Remember to
position the switch according to the picture.
Control stuck directly to the wall.
Control cable in the stud cavity.
Installation without Bracket Installation with Bracket
Generally only used when control wire is surface
mounted; i.e. solid log style outdoor sauna.
Elite Control Location
The control panel can be
installed inside or outside
of the sauna room.
(Outside is Typical)

Fig. 9: Resetting the temperature cut-out
1. Temperature cut-out water reservoir
2. Temperature cut-out sauna heater
To prevent build up of lime-scale
and higher salt/mineral levels,
empty the reservoir after each
use. If this is not done and wa-
ter is added each time you take
a sauna, foam build-up could
occur which can cause the level
sensor to detect a higher water
level than usual. There is a risk
the heating element may break.
1. CAUTION: Heater junction box can be a tight t. Make sure no bare wires come in to contact with circuit board, on/o󰀨 switch
or any other heater components. Extra care should be taken when closing junction box cover to ensure wires are not being pushed
out of position.
2. Some prefer or are required to make a weather-proof connection. If so, you may use Liquid tight conduit for the wire exposed
within the sauna. For more exibility, you can install weather proof junction box inside sauna below heater and use exible SOOW
wire to connect to heater

and all state and local codes.
 Fuse sie (A) and power cable sie (AW) must be suitable
for the heater (see The section called Connection/wiring
diagram, age 9.
 The sauna ventilation must comply with the instructions in
this manual (see The section called ositioning the inlet vent,
age 5, The section called ositioning the outlet vent, age
5).
 The position of the sauna heater, control panel, and sensors
must comply with the instructions in this manual.
 The heater output (kW) must be suitable for the sauna
volume (cu.ft.) (See Table 1, age 3). The minimum and
maximum volumes must not be exceeded.
 NOTE: A FCI device is not reuired by ET. A FCI may
be installed if reuired by local codes. However, FCI devic-
es will tend to nuisance trip during use of the product.

In a sauna, the air should be changed about 6 times an hour. See
Figure 6.
It is recommended that ventilation openings meet the reuire-
ments of U Speci cation 75. The minimum opening should be
determined using one of the following formulas:
For  31,   9 .3
For   31,   0.3
where   the  oor area of the room in suare feet and
  the minimum vent sie in suare inches
Exampleenting Calculation:
oom is 54 s.ft.(9 ft. by 6 ft.) 54 is larger than 31.
Multiple 54 x 0.3  16.2 s. in.
ent sie opening should be 4 in x 4 in.

Install the inlet vent straight through the wall under the centerline
of the heater.

3. Outlet vent position through the cavity.
4. Outlet vent position via duct.
3RVLWLRQLQJWKHRXWOHWYHQW
osition the outlet vent
 at the maximum possible distance from the air intake vent,
e.g. diagonally (see Figure 6).
 high on the wall or in the ceiling (see Figure 6).
 so that it vents into the space that the door and air intake
vent open into.
The outlet vent must have the same area as the inlet vent.
Ensure that the outlet vent is open.
Mechanical ventilation is not recommended due to the risk of poor
air exchange, which can negatively a󰀨 ect the heater temperature
cut-out.

Unscrew the two screws on the side of the heater and lift the
rock guard upwards, see Figure 7. (This is necessary when  lling
the stone compartment or cleaning the fragrance holder and air
humidi er).

For safety and reliability, the following rules must be addressed.
 The enclosed WANIN: educe the risk of overheating
 warning plate must be mounted on or alongside the door
outside the sauna room at about eye level. Use the supplied
screws.
 The enclosed CAUTION: educe the risk of  re  caution
plate must be mounted on the interior wall above the heater.
Use the supplied screws.
 No permanent locking or latch system is to be used on the
sauna door.
 Acceptable door  ttings are: magnetic catches, friction catch-
es, spring or gravity loaded closures. The door must always
open outwards.
 No shower may be installed in a sauna room.
 No electrical receptacle shall be installed inside the sauna
room.
 The heater should not be operated without its container prop-
erly  lled with rocks and the rock guard in place.
 If an intercom speaker is installed, it should be away from the
heater and as close to the  oor as possible.
 If a room light is installed, it should be a surface mounted
bracket type. Wall mounted lights should be about 70” above
the  oor. Ceiling mounted lights should be of an approved
type with a junction box that is remote to the  xture itself.
Use only a  xture that uses A.F. or  xture type internal wiring.
A 60 watt bulb should provide su󰀩 cient lighting.
 Fire sprinkler systems installed inside any sauna room should
be properly rated for sauna room temperatures.
 Always mount the heater according to these installation
instructions.
