Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for the proper functioning of your sauna heater control system. Refer to the wiring diagram below for correct connections.

Wiring diagram for TURKU CON5 controller and sauna heater

Figure 1: Wiring diagram for the TURKU CON5 External Digital Controller. This diagram illustrates the connections between the CON5 controller, the PCB (Printed Circuit Board), the thermostat sensor, the 240VAC 60Hz power input, and a sauna heater ranging from 3-9kW. L1 and L2 represent the power input lines, connecting to the controller's L1 and L2 terminals. The controller's output terminals (1, 2, 3, 4) connect to the sauna heater's corresponding terminals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The thermostat sensor connects to terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 on the PCB, which in turn connects to the CON5 unit. Switches S1 and S2 are also shown connected to the PCB.

Wiring Instructions:

  1. Power Input: Connect the 240VAC 60Hz power supply to the L1 and L2 terminals on the CON5 controller.
  2. Sauna Heater Connection: Connect the sauna heater (3-9kW) to the output terminals (1, 2, 3, 4) of the CON5 controller. Ensure correct phase and neutral connections as per the heater's requirements.
  3. Thermostat Sensor: Connect the electronic thermostat sensor to the designated terminals on the PCB, which then interfaces with the CON5 controller. Position the sensor inside the sauna cabin at an appropriate height, away from direct heat sources or drafts, to accurately measure room temperature.
  4. Controller Mounting: Mount the CON5 controller in a dry, accessible location outside the sauna cabin, ensuring it is protected from moisture and extreme temperatures.

Operating Instructions

The TURKU CON5 controller allows for precise temperature and time management of your sauna heater.
