Sauna Heater Manual
9. Testing and Operation
9.1. Testing
i. After checking that the sauna heater installation is correct, put the sauna stone in place (note
we recommend washing the stones thoroughly in water to remove any dust before the first
use). Put the larger stones at the bottom and smaller stones on top. Take care not to pack the
stones too tightly other wise the air will not be able to circulate around the elements which can
cause premature failure, but do make sure to cover the elements completely. Note that it will
be necessary to change the stones from time to time as they will gradually crumble with use.
For commercial users this is probably every year, for domestic users once every several years,
depending upon use.
ii. Before connecting to the power supply check the sauna heater and make sure there are
no flammable items on or around the heater, please note that on the first use the elements
and stones may smoke slightly and give off a smell – please ensure the sauna cabin is well
ventilated.
iii. Connect to power supply, press “ON/OFF “, temp and time windows will display data, LED
shows the sauna’s heating status when the light is on, the temperature of sauna room will rise
and will achieve the preset temperature (the default settings are 75
o
C/187oF, work time is 2
hours) see chart on the following page.
iv. When the time has finished counting down and the time window displays “0”, the controller
and heater will shut down automatically.
v. The sauna heater has a sequential heating function so that the heater can work economically.
When the heater is first turned on all the elements will work together to reach the target
temperature, when the target is reached one element will be left working to keep the
target temperature constant (for OCS30, OCS40 ,one bank will stop ). When sauna room
temperature goes 2
o
C/ 4 oF above the target temperature all heat elements will stop. When
the temperature of the sauna goes below the target temperature, one bank heat element
will work again, when the temperature goes 2
o
C/ 4 oF below the target temperature, all heat
elements will work again.
vi. Light button: Turns sauna light on/off
vii. Use temperature switch button to change the temperature display between centigrade and
Fahrenheit
viii. The Controller has a timing device so you can set a time when you want the heater to power
up, this can be set from 0~12 hours as shown in the chart below. When the controller is in
B Mode (Timer mode) the heater can’t operate, but when B Mode reaches “0” or the “Mode
Button” is pressed the heating function will start (A Mode).
