2.2. Infrared Heaters
Two types of infrared heater are available, vertical and horizontally mounted units. Both units incorporate
a single 300W infrared element, reflector and wiring socket housed in a timber surround with a perforated
protective cover. Each unit is individually plugged into the control box via a 3m 240V cable supplied. If a
longer length of cable is required please contact the sales team and specify the correct length.
The vertical units are to be installed behind or in front of the seating position at around back / chest height
around 850mm from floor level to centre of the unit.
Horizontal Units are to be positioned beneath bench at low level ~ 250mm from floor level.
The quantity of heaters required will depend upon the size of the sauna and how many people it is intended
for. See Sauna Layout for further information.
2.3. Control Box
The control box contains the relays for switching the IR Heaters on/off along with the main circuit board for
controlling inputs from the keypad, sensors etc. This box is typically mounted on top of the sauna but can
also be located on the side wall (externally). The location will affect the required cable lengths to the heater
units.
The domestic unit can be plugged into a 13amp socket as the total power is limited to 8 units / 2400W. The
commercial unit must be wired via an isolator switch and can power upto 12 heater units / 3600W
2.4. Keypad
The oval shaped keypad is supplied with a 5m 6pin low voltage cable to connect directly to the control
box. A 10m version of this cable is available if required and can be purchased online through the Oceanic
website. The keypad should be mounted outside the sauna, typically at height of 1500mm from floor level
for ease of use. The keypad is used to control the length of time the heaters are on for along with the desired
air temperature inside the room. The keypad can also be used to control low voltage lighting circuit and
speakers if installed (available separately from Oceanic website).
2.5. Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is supplied with a 3m 4pin cable and should be located inside the sauna at a height
of around 1300mm from floor level and not directly in front of an IR heater.
3. Infrared Sauna Design and Layout
Before purchasing the IR units and controls we recommend carefully designing the layout of the sauna.
Unlike traditional saunas Infrared saunas are typically designed for users to sit upright surrounded by
the Infrared emitters. Normally there should be one vertical unit behind each user with possibly another
somewhere infront and horizontal at low level behind.
Vertical IR units are for behind and infront of the body above bench height. Horizontal units are for low level
beneath the benches.
