Instructions for installation and use p. 11/40 3.5. Sauna operating modes Sauna mode (PRO-LT2 and PRO-LT3) 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-LT3 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 (Fig. 1 on page 12). 3.6. Sensor operating modes The sauna control unit PRO-LT can be operated with one or two sensors. A temperature sensor (bench sensor F2) or a humidity sensor (FTS2) can be used as the second sensor. Single sensor mode (F1) Single sensor mode is the factory setting.
Page 12
1. Instructions for installation and use p. 12/40 Two-sensor mode with bench sensor (F2) (PRO-LT3) (PRO-LT2 with optional expansion board) 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. 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, and may di昀昀er from the setpoint. (Dummy sensor required) Two-sensor mode with humidity sensor (FTS2) (PRO-LT3) (PRO-LT2 with optional expansion board) In two-sensor mode with humidity/temperature sensor, the sauna control unit displays the temperature measured by the humidity/temperature sensor as the...

Instructions for installation and use p. 13/40 4. Installation During installation observe the technical data; see Page 39: 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). ● The sensors may only be connected using the sensor cables supplied with the unit, which are heat-resistant up to 150 °C. ● The heater sensor cables may NOT be longer than 10 m. ● Outside the cabin, the sensor cables can be extended using cables that are not temperature-resistant.
