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 Febru-
ary 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 Janu-
ary 2001 states the following in paragraph 13;
quote:
The leakage current may not exceed the fol-
lowing 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
device for leakage current (ELCB), please pay
attention 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 at-
tract moisture on each end from the surroun-
ding air. It is also possible that moisture from
the surrounding air has been concentrated in
the magnesium-oxide fi lling in the heating ele-
ments during transport or storage 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
conductor is not connected. After about 10
minutes, when moisture has evaporated from
the heating elements , the oven must be recon-
nected 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 con-
centrating in the heating elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be triggered duri-
ng start-up, the electrical installation must be
checked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control
unit may be undertaken only by an authorized
electrician. Without documentation of such in-
stallation, a warranty is fundamentally invalid.
