INSTALLATION OF WALL MODEL HEATER,
CONTROL, CONTACTOR

1. Remove heater from carton and attach heater
to wall with screws are supplied. If wall thickness
is less than 3/4”, use 2”x 4” backing behind heater.
Observe proper clearances as per page 4 and table 1.

2. See applicable wiring diagram g. 5–8 for

heater model. Heater must be permanently installed
(no pigtails or plug allowed) and wiring must be
done by a licensed electrician, who must follow
wiring diagram provided and adhere to local codes.
Use proper A.W.G. rated wire size and use copper
wire suitable for 90°C within Sauna walls. Use
grounding terminals provided in Sauna heater,
control system, and contactor to properly ground
the equipment as per NEC and local codes.

3. See g. 5–8 to match control to heater model.
Locate control in wall, 5’ up from oor, so that

panel faces outward from room. Punch out one of
knockouts in roughin box and push rubber grommet
(provided) into knockout hole. Bring capillary tubing

with sensing bulb out through grommet and through
stud wall, so that capillary bulb is located 6’’ from
ceiling inside Sauna room and as close to Sauna
heater as possible, taking care to avoid sharp bends
in tubing (to prevent damage to tubing and liquid
within). Extra tubing can be coiled up inside wall.
Nail or screw bulb guard to wall to secure sensing
bulb.

4. Install contactor 4’’ up from oor behind Sauna

heater, on outside wall of Sauna room. Wire from
contactor to heater must be within seal tight

exible conduit. (Contactor may also be located in

an equip. room or closet, but must be accessible,
for servicing.

place the metal ”CAUTION” sign on the interior
wall of the Sauna room directly above the heater
