4.0 - General information and instructions
on sauna usage

4.1 - Sauna cabin – sauna heater - sauna
controller

The FIN and BIO control units are an integral
part of a well-functioning sauna cabin, as
long as all the necessary condition s are
properly met.
A control unit can only work to optimum
effect in combination with a suitable sauna
heater if the electrical connections from the
main distributor to the control unit and from
the control unit to the sauna heater have
been installed correctly and professionally
in accordance with our circuit diagrams and
speci

cations using the materials intended

for the purpose.
Faults on the control unit may also be caused
by insuf

cient incoming air or insuf

cient

ventilation of the sauna heater, as well as by
a lack or waste air vents or waste air vents
that are too small when the sauna is used
continuously. In this connection, please
refer to and observe our “Information sheet”
which is also included.
With regard to the temperature and humidity
settings, discrepancies between the set
and displayed temperature and humidity
are possible. This can be explained by the
fact that the mechanical display units are
generally installed on the inside wall of the
sauna. The temperature of the sauna wall,
however, is always lower than that of the
actual air temperature in the cabin.
The displayed humidity levels can be
incorrect at the start for as long as the cabin
has not heated up enough to a suf

cient

temperature.
