Thermostat Bulb

The KV Topclass heater has a temperature sensor bulb attached to a coil of wire. This bulb needs to be run up the face of the sauna wall ideally 12" down from the ceiling. A mounting bracket is included in the heater box, usually attached to the heating elements with a zip tie. To locate the sensor bulb remove the side cover under the control knobs. The thermostat bulb connected to a coil of wire is tucked between the control consul and the main heater body.

Two images illustrate the thermostat sensor bulb and wiring. The first shows a hand holding the temperature sensor bulb and its wire, labeled 'Temperature Sensor bulb' and 'Thermostat wire'. The second image shows the thermostat wire tucked between the control console and the main heater body, labeled 'Thermostat wire'.

Depending on if you have controls on the left of right side of the heater the coil of wire could be found at the front of the heater or hidden on the back side of the heater against the wall.

Installation

Run the thermostat wire up the wall and away from the heater at least 12 inches. The bulb should be mounted 12" - 24" from the ceiling of the sauna. Cover the thermostat wire with the wooden cover provided with the heater.
