●If infrared heaters are connected, they must have a safety temperature limiter.
For suitable infrared heaters see 2.1. Intended use on page 5.
●If infrared plates are connected, the WC4-IRF-F foil sensors must be used
and activated (see 4.3. Installing the foil temperature sensor on page 13
and 5.5. Connecting the foil sensor (optional) on page 16). For suitable
infrared plates see 2.1. Intended use on page 5.
●Automatic heating period limiter
The infrared controller shuts down automatically after the maximum heat-
ing period for safety reasons (see also 6.3. Operating time on page 21).
The EN 60335-2-53 species a maximum heating period limit of 6 hours
for private infrared cabins. For infrared cabins in hotels, apartment blocks
and similar locations, a maximum heating period limit of 12 hours is
permissible. Extending the heating period limit to 18 hours or 24 hours
is only permitted in public infrared cabins.
!
The Infrabox infrared controller is suitable for use with intrinsically safe
infrared heaters and infrared plates. If no intrinsically safe products are
being used, a safety temperature limiter must be connected.
Installation instructions, for professionals only p. 10/38
4. Installation
4.1. Installing the power supply unit
ATTENTION!
Damage to the unit
●Install the power supply unit in a dry place. Maintain a maximum ambient
temperature of 40 °C and a maximum humidity of 95%.
●A free circulation of air must be ensured to cool the power supply unit. The pow-
er supply unit must not be covered by any objects or materials.
The power supply unit is installed on the cabin roof (Fig.1), on the cabin wall or in
another suitable location in accordance with the ambient conditions. The power
is supplied with a mains connection cable and safety plug.
1. Screw the Infrabox power supply unit housing to the cabin ceiling or the cabin
wall with the four wooden screws provided (16 mm long).
Fig. 1 Installing the power supply unit
EN
Installation instructions, for professionals only p. 11/38
4.2. Installing the control unit
The control unit 2 of the infrared controller is installed on the outside wall of the
cabin with a maximum clearance of 10 metres from the power supply unit 1 (see
Fig. 2). For the installation, a standard jigsaw is required to cut out the recess for
the control unit. The control unit can be installed both inside and outside the cabin.
* For installing inside an infrared cabin, a minimum clearance of 30 cm
must be maintained (see Fig. 2 Control unit position on page 11).
ATTENTION!
Damage to the unit
●The control unit 2 of the infrared controller is splashproof (protection
class IP X4).
●Work on the control unit must only be carried out using a standard screwdriver.
Using a cordless screwdriver may cause irreparable damage to the housing.

If the foil temperature sensor is not tted directly on the infrared plate,
it will produce incorrect measured values. Install the foil temperature
sensor directly on the foil.
The foil temperature sensor is only required for infrared plate heating sys-
tems. Observe the details of the plate heating system manufacturer here.
4.3. Installing the foil temperature sensor
The foil temperature sensor is installed directly on the infrared heating plate and
xed with a cable strain relief (seeFig. 5: Installing the foil temperature sensor
on page 13)
Install the sensor head 1 of the foil temperature sensor directly between
the insulation and heating foil 4.
1. Secure the foil temperature sensor with the strain relief 2 outside
the foil area.
2. Lay the 2-pin cable 3 in the cabin wall and secure with cable ties.
3. A foil temperature sensor must be activated to use it (6.4. Foil sensor on
page 22).

Clamp the foil sensor line on the 2-pin foil sensor plug to FF accord-
ing to Fig. 6: Connection area for sensor/control unit on page 14.
5.6. Connecting the HV input (remote start/enable input)
The input becomes active by applying alternating current
(230 V / 50 Hz) – depending on the remote start or enable input
setting. The input is connected using 2-pole HV plug according to
Fig. 7: Connection area for 230 V on page 15.
The EN 60335-2-53 states that the controller (in the remote start
setting) must be set to “Standby for remote operation” mode before
each remote start procedure.
Refer to chapter 6.9. HV input (remote start/enable input) on page
29 to follow the exact step-by-step procedure.
WARNING!
Personal injury
●The clamping connections may only be installed by a qualied electri-
cian or similarly qualied person.
