Description
The Infrared Panel B by Helo is a 900 W glass-fronted infrared emitter, made in Finland, that installs in a traditional sauna so the same room can be used as a sauna or an infrared room. The panel measures 910 × 310 × 32 mm, mounts flat to the wall behind or beside the bathers, and connects through a 3 m heat-resistant silicone cable to a 230–240 V supply. It is operated by a control unit or a timer with a bipolar cut-out, sold separately, and a backrest grid, also sold separately in horizontal and vertical versions, must be fitted in front of the panel.
Features
Technical Specification
| Model | 314 KSJ 3 electric sauna infrared emitter |
| Power | 900 W |
| Nominal voltage | 230–240 V, 50 Hz |
| Dimensions (H × W × D) | 910 × 310 × 32 mm |
| Glass colour | Black or grey, model dependent |
| Frame | Wood |
| Connection cable | 3 m heat-resistant silicone, 2 × 1.5 mm² |
| Protection grade | IP54, protected against dust and water jets |
| Wavelength | Approximately 6.8–7.3 micrometres |
| Maximum continuous operation | 6 hours |
| Maximum glass edge temperature | 80 °C |
| Maximum element back temperature | 60 °C |
| Safety distance, front face to flammable material | 5 mm |
| Delivery includes | Infrared emitter, 4 mounting screws with covering plugs, instructions |
Installation
The panel is attached to a straight, solid surface at least the size of the heater, using the four screws and covering plugs supplied; it may be mounted directly onto a wooden surface from its back and edges, keeping the 5 mm safety distance between the hot front face and flammable material. The ventilation openings at the back must not be blocked and the panel must never be covered. The cable runs downwards and is concealed behind the panelling, with the joint box placed under the benches or in another suitable position. Electrical wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician; panels are connected in shunt or in series, with a maximum of two per series, and wiring two in series reduces the fuse size needed. In a stove-heated sauna the panel must sit at least 100 mm below the ceiling, and an infrared room should be no less than 1,800 mm high. The backrest grid fitted in front of the panel must have gaps sized so that a 75 mm ball cannot touch the glass, with at least 9 mm between the grid bars and the heater frame.
Planning an infrared sauna
Helo recommends around 1 kW of emitter power per cubic metre when heating a room with infrared panels alone, with glass or tiled surfaces adding roughly 1.2 kW per square metre to the requirement. Each bather needs about 50 cm of bench width, with panels placed behind the back, at the sides of the bench and in the legroom; the legroom panel needs no grid. A comfortable infrared sauna temperature is around 60 °C, or around 70 °C when the panels are used together with a sauna stove.
Control
The panel is operated by a control unit or a timer suitable for infrared heaters; a timer must have a bipolar cut-out so the voltage can be fully disconnected. With a timer no room sensor is needed; with a control unit the sensor is positioned according to the control unit’s own instructions.
Brand
Helo, founded in Finland in 1919, was the first manufacturer of electric sauna heaters; its products are handcrafted in Hanko and the company is part of the Sauna360 group.
Warranty
Warranty claims must be supported by an inspection log sheet or a copy of the bill from the electricity company or electrician who carried out the installation.
Ordering note
A backrest grid, listed separately in horizontal and vertical versions, must be ordered with the panel, along with a suitable control unit or bipolar timer.
