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 pro-
tection device (RCDs) with a calculation di erence
stream not more largely than 30 mA, excluded of it
is Sauna heating.
The EN 60335-1 DIN (VDE 0700 part 1):2012-10
states the following in paragraph 13.2; 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, depen-
ding on the higher value, at a maximum value 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 pro-
tected by this ELCB.
Under current manufacturing technology, it is not re-
asonable to use heating elements for sauna heaters
which do not collect moisture from the surrounding
air. It is therefore possible that a little bit of moisture
from the surrounding air may reach the magnesium-
oxide lling in the heating elements during trans-
port or storage and may cause the ELCB to release.
In this case the oven must be heated up under su-
pervision of an expert, during which the PE conduc-
tor 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 signi cant peri-
od of time, we recommend running it every 6 weeks,
so as to avoid moisture concentrating in the heating
elements.
Therefore, should the ELCB be released during start-
up, the electrical installation must be checked.
Installation of the sauna heater and control unit
must be undertaken only by an authorized electri-
cian. Without a documented proof of such installati-
on a warranty is generally void.
