Please familiarise yourself with the following terms and symbols: WARNING Warning Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION Caution Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate in-...
General safety instructions 1.1 Mounting and electrical installation These installation instructions are intended for qualified personnel familiar with the laws and regulations applicable to electrical installations at the installation site. Ob- serve the following general safety instructions during assembly, setup and commis- sioning.
General safety instructions Observe the cabin manufacturer’s safety and installation instructions. Damage due to incorrect mounting location The control unit is not suitable for outdoor use! It may be operated only inside buildings and may not be exposed to environmental ...
For an overview of the standards that were observed during design and construction of the sauna heaters, please refer to the individual product‘s technical data sheet that can be downloaded from www.eos-sauna.com. Local regulations also apply to the installation and operation of heating, sauna, and steam room systems.
Identification 2. Identification The InfraTec Premium control unit consists of a relay box, a control panel, a temperature sensor and the connecting cables, and is used to operate a infrared cabin. Additional equipment can be connected to the relay box for total control of a infrared cabin, for example, lighting and additional sensors.
Identification 2.5 Intended use The InfraTec Premium control unit is designed to operate infrared emitters and heating foils in infrared cabins. It is suitable for cabins used in private and commercial settings. Any further use is deemed not to be in accordance with the intended purpose! The intended use also includes compliance with the typical operating, maintenance and servicing conditions.
Scope of delivery 3. Scope of delivery Check the unit upon delivery to ensure that all components were delivered and that it is in proper working order. Contact your distributor if components are missing or damaged. The unit must not be operated if components are missing or damaged.
Technical Data 4. Technical Data Voltage (power supply): 230 V 1N ~ 50 Hz Switching capacity: Max. 3500 W (resistive loads) Output circuits: 3 separate circuits (front, back, foot area) • Front and back individually dimmable, max. 1500 W • Switchable foot area, cannot be controlled via sensor, max.
Installation 5. Installation This chapter describes how to install the relay box and the most important components. Cables with the appropriate cross section should be used for the IR-Emitter, light and other com- ponents. All electrical installations and all connecting lines that are installed inside a cabin must be suitable for a use in a IR cabin (IPx2 class).
Installation Extending the control panel’s control line ► For longer connections a special 15 m connection line is optionally available. Installation works inside the cabin ► At minimum, the temperature sensor and the lighting must be installed in the cabin. In IR cabins with IR heating foils and optional surface temperature sensor (optional equipment) may need to be installed.
Installation The power supply, control panel and sensor lines can be routed to the relay box as follows: The lines can be routed along the outer wall of the cabin. They are then passed into the housing from below. If they are not routed through a cable conduit or a duct, they must be secured so they cannot be pulled out.

Installation 5.2 Cabin lighting Lighting can be installed anywhere, however Requirements to cabin lighting not near rising hot air. Max. power output 100 W Cabin lighting is not included in the scope of Protection class min. IPx2 for IR cabins ...
Installation 5.3 Control panel The control panel is designed for flush-moun- ting installation into a cabin wall. If empty conduits for electrical installations are already present, this dictates the position of the control panel. Guidelines ► The control panel should be mounted outside the cabin.
Page 18
Installation Wall mounting of the control panel ► Make a wall opening to a size of 105 mm (width) x 90 mm (height) x 25 mm (min. depth). 105 mm Mount the control panel in the wall opening and fix it with the 4 screws enclosed. Finally glue the self-adhesive decorative strips into the horizontal grooves of the control panel to cover the mounting screws.
Installation 5.4 Temperature sensor The temperature sensor must be installed where expected temperatures are the highest. The IR control system prevents ambient temperatures from exceeding 70°C. Therefore, a safety temperature limiter is not needed in IR-only installations. The safety temperature limiter on the relay box’s circuit board is therefore jumpered by default.

Installation 5.5 Mounting the optional IR heating foil sensor The heating foil sensor shall be mounted in the area of the overheating protection of the smallest heating foil installed and shall be relaibly fixed with a strain relief. Note: the heating foil sensor (2nd sensor) is not included and must be ordered separately. NOTICE Incorrect measurement and incorrect temperature regulation Wird der Heizfolienfühler nicht direkt auf der IR-Heizfolien angebracht, werden die Mess-...
Electrical installation 6. Electrical installation This chapter describes how to connect the relay box’s circuit board lines. For information on setup of the control panel, see chapter Commissioning/Operation. You can connect both infrared radiators and infrared foils. Both typs are referred to as IR emitters in the following section.
