Sauna heater sizes 7.5 Kw to 10.5 Kw will include an electrical contactor.
This is the standard control (no charge).
OWC -
Outside Wall Control (Optional)...
The Outside Wall Control is a popular sauna control. The OWC sauna control will be located in a wall outside the sauna at a convenient face level. This thermostat has a 12' capillary to connect the heat sensor (located above the sauna heater) to the thermostat control. The outside sauna control must, therefore, be located within 7' or 8' of the heater. A 3-gang masonry junction box will be needed to install the Outside Wall Control.

Sauna Heater Rough-in Information...1. Sauna Heater Sizes 2 Kw to 6 Kw: Our 240 volt sauna heaters are wired in 2 ways based on the electrical size of the sauna heater. Sauna heater sizes 2 Kw to 6 Kw use the same controls. The supply wiring is installed to connect the electrical supply panel directly to the sauna control if the optional OWC or DEC controls are purchased. If the heater has built-in controls, the wire will run directly to the sauna heater. Use AWG #10/2 wire for heater sizes 5Kw and smaller. Use AWG #8/2 for the 6 Kw heater. A 3 gang masonary junction box will be needed to install the Outside Wall Control. A normal 3 gang switch box does not have enough room to bend the #10 or #8 wires. Using the masonary box will simplify the installation.
2. Sauna Heater Sizes 7.5 to 9 Kw: Larger sauna heater models over 6 Kw or over 25 amps use a magnetic contactor to control the electrical load. The wiring from the electrical supply panel runs to the magnetic contactor and not to the control. The magnetic contactor in turn supplies power to the sauna heater. In this event, the sauna controls are wired to regulate the magnetic contactor using AWG #14 with 6 conductors. Just use 3 runs of #14/2. The high-limit control on the heater must be wired back to the sauna control in the event it trips and breaks the entire circuit. It is a requirement that a licensed electrician is required to install the sauna wiring and sauna connections. Sauna Tip: All sauna heaters 7.5 Kw or larger that have built-in controls on the sauna heater, will make a audible "click" every time the heater starts or stops. This clicking can be eliminated with the purchase of the optional OWC control. In that event, the magnetic contactor is not inside the sauna and you will not hear it click.
