SAUNA CONTROL
(MODEL: E200)
SECTION 1: OVERVIEW
1.
TIME CLOCK
The control includes a 24 hour time clock with
the time of day displayed when there is power
to the control. The "PM" light on the face of the
control lights up during afternoon and evening
hour settings. Upon initially turning on the
circuit breaker, or if power is interrupted, the
hour of day will begin flashing, indicating you
are ready to set the time of day.
2.
TEMPERATURE & LENGTH
OF HEATING TIME
The control allows you to set the room
temperature with a maximum setting of 200
degrees fahrenheit. Depending on personal
preference, normal temperature setting should
be at or near 175 degrees, which is the
1)
pre-programmed setting.
The length of heating time may also vary with
personal preference. Thirty minutes is the
pre-programmed setting for the length of
heating time and the maximum duration is 60
minutes. When the unit is turned on the set
room temperature and remaining length of
heating time will be displayed on the face of the
control as it counts down to zero and shuts off.
3.
7 DAY PROGRAMMING (Control Dip
Switches must be re-set for operation).
The seven day time clock allows the operator to
program one time each day in a repetitive 7 day
cycle for the unit to come on at a desired
temperature and for a specified length of
heating time. The control is shipped with the 7
day programming turned OFF. To make this
feature operational, the control dip switch must
be re-set (see section 3). Once programmed,
the unit will automatically come on at the hour
of the day and for the length of heating time you
set for each day and will continue to repeat the
same program each following week. If you wish
to stop the unit from automatically coming on,
just set the length of heating time to "00' for
days 1 through
7.
If you plan to leave the unit unattended for an
extended length of time, you should set each
days' length of heating time to zero, so that the
unit will not operate during your absence.
