SAUNA HEATER GUARD RAIL PLACEMENT GUIDE
CONTROL PANEL MODELS AND SIZES
CONTROL PANEL LOCATION
All controls must be mounted on the outside of the sauna, NEVER inside the room.
RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION – For convenience, place the control box at eye level by the
door, approximately 12” from the door opening and 52” from the floor(see fig. 1). For conduit
and wire size, type and quantities, see specific heater wiring diagram charts.
COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION – for 60-min timer, follow the residential installation recom-
mendations. For 24-hour timer, you may place the control panel either in front of the sauna or
in the mechanical or electrical room away from the sauna room. Please note that the thermo-
stat capillary tube is only 4 ft long, therefore for controls placed away from the sauna, we rec-
ommend T-model heaters, where the thermostat is built in the heater itself.
