For the installation of sauna heaters, please
pay attention to the DIN VDE 0100 part 703
!
This standard makes the following statement valid
in your newest expenditure, since February 2006,
paragraph 703.412.05; Quotation:
The additional must be planned for all electric cir-
cuits of the Sauna by one or more fault current
protection device (RCDs) with a calculation diffe-
rence stream not more largely than 30 mA, exclu-
ded of it is Saunaheating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN VDE 0700 part 1 of January
2001 states the following in paragraph 13; quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the following
values during operation:
- for stationary heaters of protection class I 0,75
mA; or 0,75 mA each kW input of the appliance,
depending on the higher value, at a maximum va-
lue of 5 mA.
If the appliance is equipped with a protective de-
vice for leakage current (ELCB), please pay atten-
tion to the fact that no other electrical units will be
protected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing methods, it is not yet
possible to produce tubular heating elements for
sauna heaters which do not attract moisture on
each end from the surrounding air. It is also pos-
sible that moisture from the surrounding air has
been concentrated in the magnesium-oxide
fi lling
in the heating elements during transport or sto-
rage and is now causing the ELCB to be triggered.
In this case, the oven must be heated up under
supervision of an expert, during which the PE con-
ductor is not connected. After about 10 minutes,
when moisture has evaporated from the heating
elements , the oven must be reconnected to the
PE conductor!
If the sauna heater is not in use for
a signifi cant
period of time, we recommend running it every 6
weeks, so as to avoid moisture concentrating in
the heating elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be triggered during
start-up, the electrical installation must be che-
cked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control unit
may be undertaken only by an authorized electri-
cian. Without documentation of such installation, a
warranty is fundamentally invalid.
