- Page 4 Touchpad • The touchpad should be mounted indoors in a dry area. • The touchpad connects to the power unit with the provided 20’ data cable. If you need a longer data cable for your application, you may purchase one directly from Almost Heaven Saunas. CONNECTING YOUR HEATER TO POWER Please note, the power unit provided with your sauna is rated for single-group connection. The instructions below are for single- group connections only.
- Page 5 Outgoing Power Next, you’ll want to relay power to the heater itself. Remove the front cover of the heater by forcing the two tabs under the heater towards the center of the heater and lifting out. Next, remove the screws holding the terminal-block tray in place. Slide out the tray to gain access to the terminal-block. Also, cut out the center of one of the rubber gaskets under the heater - this is where the wire will enter the heater.
- Page 6 Temperature Sensor The temperature sensor mounts in your sauna and provides feedback to the power unit regarding the temperature in your sauna. We advise mounting this sensor approximately 18” to the side of the heater, and approximately 18” below the highest point of the sauna.
- Page 7 It is recommended that you remove the stones once a year, and replace any that have cracked or corroded. It is a good idea to rinse these stones at this time, too. If you need more stones, you may purchase them from Almost Heaven Saunas. OPERATING YOUR HEATER Note: Your touchpad’s default settings are compatible with your heater.
- Page 8 GENERAL OPERATION INFORMATION • Your Virta heater is UL certified. Because of this, it is required to shut off after one hour of use. If you wish to continue your sauna session, you will have to restart the heater if the heating period times out. • If your heater isn’t heating, try pressing the reset button under the heater as the high-limit safety circuit may have been tripped. If this continues to happen, your sensor may be too high or too close to the heater. • This is a traditional sauna heater with sauna stones. As such, you may pour water onto the stones according to your humidity level preference.
