Installation and User Instructions

Important Safety Information & Warnings

NB! The following instructions for electrical works must be carried out by a certified electrician.

NB! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

NB! Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

NB! The installation instructions for appliances for public saunas that do not have a timer shall state that a pilot lamp showing that the heater is switched on is to be installed in the attendant's room. The previously provided manual does not contain this information.

For installation in public saunas, a separate timer compliant with UL 60730-1 and UL 60730-2-7 along with CSA E60730-1 and CSA E603730-2-7 standards must be used.

Installing UKU Electrical Control Device

  • Before installation, disconnect the electric heater from the power supply at the switchboard.
  • The control device (1) must be installed outside the steam room, at user's eye level near the door, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • If your main controller (2) supports Wi-Fi, install it where reception is adequate.
  • The device must be installed in a dry place. It has an IPX4 protection degree. Power cables must be anchored via the provided cable gland.
  • Do not exceed a room temperature of 104°F (40°C) and relative humidity of 95%.
  • Before powering, ensure the controller box is sealed to prevent pollution. All cable inlets and the box must be properly sealed.

CAUTION! The control device must be permanently connected to the mains without plugs. A method to disconnect all poles from the mains (a circuit breaker) must be installed. Power cables must meet UL 62 (US) and CSA 49 (Canada) standards with a minimum temperature rating of 140°F (60°C). Cable cross-section depends on heater power; consult the heater manual. Recommended wire sizes: 10 AWG for 4.5-6 kW heaters, 6 AWG for 9 kW heaters, 10 AWG for 12 kW heaters (double-wire), 6 AWG for 15-18 kW heaters (double-wire). Always have the correct cable size approved and installed by a qualified electrician.

NB! A method to disconnect all poles from the mains (a circuit breaker) must be installed on the power circuit.

NB! Measure cable lengths and determine locations of cables and device parts (refer to figure).

Control Panel – UKU (1)

With a wooden housing

  • Remove the back cover of the UKU control panel to attach it to the wall.
  • Attach the back cover to the wall so the upper edge of the control panel is at eye level.
  • Connect the power cable to the device's screw terminal.
  • Attach the device to the wall-mounted back cover. Secure with side screws.

With a plastic housing

  • Connect the power cable to the UKU control panel's cable screws.
  • Pull off the control panel knob.
  • Attach the device to the wall with screws.
  • Replace the control knob onto the control panel.

Main Module (2)

  • When installing inside the steam room, place the enclosure 4-19.7 in (10-50 cm) above the floor.
  • Fix the unit to the wall with 4 screws.
  • Do not attach the main module to the ceiling or inclined surfaces.
  • Connect the cables for the UKU control panel, temperature sensor, and door switch through a cable gland to the enclosure and main module (see figure).
  • Connect the power cable (240V 2(N)~ ) of the control console through the cable glands to the main module (see figure).

Door Sensor (3)

The door switch consists of a sensor and a magnet.

  • Use a 13/64 in (5mm) diameter drill for installing a door sensor recessed in the door frame.
  • Install the door sensor at a maximum height of 15.8 in (40 cm) from the floor.
  • Connect cable ends to the switch terminals.
  • Secure the magnet to the door, allowing it to close and pass directly by the doorpost.
  • Fix the sensor to the doorpost so it aligns with the magnet when the door closes. The maximum distance between sensor parts when the door is closed should be 0.2 in (5 mm).

Temperature Sensor with Overheating Protection (4)

  • Connect the cable to the temperature sensor's plug (see figure).
  • Screw the temperature sensor onto the wall (see figure).
  • The temperature sensor cannot be placed above the heater; it must be at least 19.7 in (50 cm) away from it.
  • The temperature sensor should be 5.9-7.9 in (15-20 cm) from the ceiling.
  • The temperature sensor must be at least 19.7 in (50 cm) from any air opening (ventilation, door, window).

Vaporizer (6)

  • A vaporizer connects to outputs SL and SN as shown in the figure. If a vaporizer is connected, select the vaporizer function in the control console settings (see User instructions).

NB! When connecting the control console with an electrical heater that has a vaporizer function, ensure the water tank is always filled with water. If the water tank is empty, the vaporizer function is disabled, risking burnout of the heating element.

Connection of a Lighting System (7)

  • Lighting/ventilation can be connected to the LL and LN outputs of the control console (see figure). This allows switching the connected system on/off from the control console.
  • To use the lighting function, select it in the control console settings (see User instructions).
  • Maximum power for incandescent lamps/ventilation systems is 120V 100W; for LED lights, it's 120V 50W.

Connecting the WiFi Controller to the Network

  • The WiFi modem complies with 802.11 b/g/n standards.
  • The controller is compatible only with 2.4 GHz networks. Connection fails if your 5 GHz network has the same name as the 2.4 GHz one.
  • The controller does not support WiFi names and passwords longer than 20 characters.
  • On the UKU control panel, go to the settings menu (hold button for 10s).
  • Navigate to “WIFI settings”.
  • Select “SSID” and choose your network.
  • Enter the password and follow the wizard's instructions to connect.
  • Refer to the “UKU Mobile App” section for further instructions.

UKU Mobile App

The UKU WiFi device can also be controlled via a smartphone app, allowing you to operate the sauna remotely.

Download the HUUM application from your mobile phone's operating system app store:

  • iOS – App Store
  • Android – Google Play
  • Create a user account.
  • Link the control console's ID (e.g., 2XXXXX) to your user account. The ID and code are on the main module's sticker.
  • Verify all mobile app functions work correctly and commands reach the sauna within 60 seconds. If functions do not work, contact the manufacturer at info@huumsauna.com.

Testing

NB! Have a qualified electrician perform tests.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock! Tests must be performed while power is on.

  • Check power terminals of the circuit breaker and main module. Poor connections can cause fire. Turn on power from the switchboard. The screen will flash briefly; the device is ready.
  • Check the door switch: Close the steam room door. Turn on the control console, set temperature, and turn on heating. Contactors should switch on. Open the door; contactors should switch off in 5-10 seconds. Close the door; contactors should switch on again.
  • Check the temperature sensor:
    • Install protection. Turn off power at the sauna switchboard for 15 seconds, then turn it back on. The control console should turn off and then display the current temperature upon powering up.
    • Temperature updates periodically (1 degree at a time); it may take time to reach the actual reading.
    • Set desired temperature to 122°F (50°C). Turn the sauna on and check if the temperature is maintained. Turn heating off.
    • Set desired temperature and turn heating on. Verify the temperature is achieved and maintained.
