Frequently Asked Questions - Sonja Karibu

How to start the sauna quickly?

Set the desired temperature with the temperature selector (4), then briefly press the timer button (9). The heater starts and the temperature control indicator lights up.

What to do if the display shows flashing '00.00'?

This indicates that the heating time (6 hours) has been exceeded. To restart, briefly press the timer button (9). The heater resumes heating.

How to program a delayed start?

Set the temperature (and humidity in mixed mode), then press and hold the timer button (9). The display increases in steps of 15 minutes. Release the button at the desired time (max 23h45). The timer counts down and the heater starts automatically.

What does the error message 'E-F1' mean?

'E-F1' indicates a fault in the heater sensor (short circuit, broken cable, or defective sensor). Contact a qualified electrician to check the sensor (resistance between 1.9 and 2.1 kΩ at 25 °C).

Can I use the sauna unattended?

No, it is not recommended to leave the sauna unattended. Make sure no flammable objects are on the heater before each use. The programmed start function can be used, but check for hazards.

How to clean the sauna control?

Clean with a cloth dampened with mild soapy water, well wrung out. Never immerse the device in water or pour water over it. Gently wipe the housing.

What to do if the light does not turn on?

Turn off the control, cut the main fuses, change the bulb, then turn the fuse back on. If the light remains off, contact your supplier.

How to set the mixed mode (sauna + evaporator)?

Set the temperature (humidity symbol indicates max temperature in mixed mode) and humidity with the selectors. Briefly press the timer button to start. The temperature and humidity control indicators light up.

What does the display 'FILL' mean?

'FILL' flashes when the water tank of the evaporator is empty. Fill the tank. After a few moments, the message disappears and the evaporator works again.

How to install the heater sensor?

Mount the sensor in the upper half of the heater, about 15 cm from the ceiling, without influence of incoming air. Connect the white cables to terminal F1 and the red cables to terminal TS, without polarity. Use the supplied cables (resistant to 150 °C).

EN

2.2. Safety information for the installer

• Installation may only be performed by a qualified electrician or similarly qualified person.
• Installation and connection of the sauna control unit may only be performed when the power supply is disconnected.
• An all-pole disconnecting device with full cut-off must be fitted on-site in accordance with overvoltage category III.

• The sauna control unit must be installed outside the sauna cabin at a height of approx. 1.70m , or in accordance with the recommendation given by the sauna manufacturer. The ambient temperature must be within a range spanning -10^ to +40^ .

• The heater sensor must be attached in a way that ensures it is not affected by an inflow of air.

• Observe all regulations applicable at the installation location.

• For your own safety, consult your supplier in the event of problems that are not explained in sufficient detail in the installation instructions.

2.3. Safety information for the user

• The sauna control unit must not be used by children under 8 years of age.

• The sauna control unit may be used by children above 8 years of age, by persons with limited psychological, sensory or mental capabilities, or by persons with lack of experience/knowledge:

• as long as they are supervised.

• when they have been shown how to use the device safely and are aware of the hazards that could occur.

• Children must not play with the sauna control unit.

• Children under 14 years of age may only clean the sauna control unit if they are supervised.

3. Product description

3.1. Scope of delivery

• Single-component sauna control unit
• Heater sensor with integrated excess temperature fuse (F1), sensor wires 3 m
• Bench sensor (F2), sensor wires 3 m
  Installation accessories

3.2. Product functions

The Modern Bio sauna control unit is used to control and regulate combi sauna heaters with a heating output of up to 9kW and an evaporator output of up to 3kW in the temperature range spanning 40^ to 125^ and a humidity range spanning 0 to 100% .

A power booster allows the maximum contact rating to be increased from 9 kW to 18 kW or 30 kW.

The sauna control unit functions according to a two-sensor system. The excess temperature fuse is located in the heater sensor housing. Should the sauna heater continue heating after reaching the preferred temperature due to a defect, the excess temperature fuse switches the sauna heater off at a temperature of approx. 139^ .

Dry heat is provided in sauna mode. The temperature in the cabin is high (80 to 100^ ). The humidity level is low and does not exceed 10% . If the sauna cabin temperature is lower than the set temperature, the sauna control unit switches on the sauna heater. The sauna heater heats up. If the sauna cabin temperature exceeds the set temperature, the sauna control unit switches off the sauna heater.

The sauna heater will not heat up again until the sauna cabin temperature falls below the set temperature.

The evaporator operates along with the sauna heater in combi mode. The temperature in the cabin is lower (approx. 40 to 65^ ) than in sauna mode, with the relative humidity being considerably higher, ranging from 35% to approximately 70% . The maximum humidity level which 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.

For safety reasons, the heating period limiter automatically switches off the sauna control unit after heating for a period of 6 hours.

The Modern Bio sauna control unit has a preset time function. The preset time can be set to increments of 15 minutes. The minimum preset time is 15 minutes. The maximum preset time totals 23 hours and 45 minutes. Once the preset time has elapsed, the sauna heater switches on.

4. Installation and connection

ATTENTION!

Damage to the unit

The sauna control unit is protected against jets of water, however direct contact with water could still damage the unit.

• Install the sauna control unit in a dry place at which a maximum humidity of 95% is not exceeded.

ATTENTION!

Damage to the unit

• The sauna control unit may only be used for operating and regulating 3 heating circuits with a maximum heating capacity of 3kW per heating circuit and a maximum evaporator capacity of 3kW .

Observe the following points when installing and connecting the sauna control unit:

• The sauna control unit must be installed outside the sauna cabin at a height of approx. 1.70m , or in accordance with the recommendation given by the sauna manufacturer. The ambient temperature must be within a range spanning -10^ to +40^ .
• There must be a fixed connection for the electrical power supply.
• An all-pole disconnecting device with full cut-off must be fitted on-site in accordance with overvoltage category III.

• The heater sensor wires must be laid separately from the other mains wires and control wires. Wires with only one layer of insulation must be protected by using a pipe (double insulation). The heater sensor and the bench sensor may only be connected using the sensor wires provided, which are heat-resistant up to 150^ .

• The heater sensor must be installed in the sauna cabin above the middle of the sauna heater. A distance of approx. 15cm to the sauna cabin ceiling must be maintained.

• The heater sensor must be attached in a way that ensures it is not affected by an inflow of air.
• The bench sensor must be installed opposite the heating system. A distance of approx. 15cm to the sauna cabin ceiling must be maintained.

A recurring beep can be heard.
The message "door" appears in the display 2.
After the cabin door is closed, the sauna control unit must be started again.

The cabin temperature is above 40^ . The door monitor is no longer used for fire prevention, but as a power-saving feature.

When the cabin door is opened for less than 5 seconds, there is no message.
