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. Use the provided hardware to mount the sensor.

Next, feed the sensor wire out of your sauna in order to connect to the power unit. 

Secure the wiring to the circuit board mini-terminal. Starting on the outside and moving in, the wires should connect in the 

following order: blue - white - red - yellow. 

Touchpad

The touchpad should be mounted indoors in a dry location, preferably in your home. Once you’ve determined this location, use a 

flathead screwdriver to gently pry the screen of the touchpad from the mounting bracket. Feed the data cable through the hole 

in the mounting bracket, and mount the bracket to the location you selected. Push the data cable connector into the port on the 

back of the screen and snap the screen back into the bracket. 

Next, connect the other cable to the port closest to the power unit’s mini-terminal block that is connected to the temperature sensor. 

Replace the unit’s cover and turn the power switch to the on position.
