Tools You'll Need:

• Huum UKU sauna controller kit (includes wall-mounted controller, main module, temperature sensor, cables)
• Power drill
• Cable stripper
• Cutting pliers
• Screwdriver
• Marking pen

Step 1: Preparing for Installation

Before you begin, ensure you have all components:

• Wall-mounted controller
• Main module
• Temperature sensor
• Cables for temperature sensor and door switch
• Cable for the wall-mounted controller

Step 2: Installing the Temperature Sensor

1. Choose the Right Spot: Place the sensor at least half a meter from heaters, vents, and glass surfaces to get an accurate reading. Ideally, position it close to where you'll be sitting.
2. Prepare the Cables: Clean the ends of the sensor cable.
3. Attach the Sensor: Connect the cables to the sensor and secure it to the wall.

Step 3: Installing the Door Sensor

1. Position the Sensor: The door sensor shuts off the heater when the door opens. Place it low on the door frame to avoid heat damage and ensure it's out of sight.
2. Drill and Attach: Drill a hole in the door frame for the sensor. Connect the cables to the sensor terminals.
3. Secure the Magnet: Attach the magnet to the door using double-sided tape, ensuring it aligns with the sensor when the door is closed.

Step 4: Installing the Wall-Mounted Controller

1. Choose a Location: The controller should be outside the sauna hot room. Common locations include next to the sauna door, lounge, or bedroom.
2. Connect the Wires: Match the numbered cables correctly. This is crucial as mismatched cables can cause issues.
3. Secure the Controller: Attach the controller to the wall, ensuring all connections are tight.

Step 5: Installing the Main Module

1. Find a Suitable Spot: The main module should be placed in a cool, dry location (under 50°C and 95% humidity). Avoid placing it inside the hot room if possible.
2. Connect the Cables: Secure the cables for the controller and sensors to the main module, ensuring the correct cross-section for each cable.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power cable to the main module.

Step 6: Testing the Installation

1. Power On: Turn on the wall-mounted controller and set a temperature. The heating elements should glow red and emit heat quickly.
2. Test the Door Sensor: Open and close the door to ensure the heater shuts off properly.
3. Wi-Fi/GSM Setup: For Uku Wi-Fi, hold the main button for 10 seconds to access settings, select your network, and enter your password. For Uku GSM, the embedded SIM card activates automatically within 30 minutes.

Additional Features

• Child Lock: Activate the child lock feature in the settings menu to prevent accidental operation by children.
• Lighting and Ventilation: Connect these features to the control console for additional convenience.
• Heating Time Settings: Select from various heating durations based on your sauna's usage (private, semi-public, or public).

Using the Huum App

1. Download the App: Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
2. Register Your Sauna: Enter your sauna ID and code from the main module.
3. Control Remotely: Set temperatures and heating times from your phone. Note: Ensure the sauna is clear of any items and the door is closed before remote heating.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and efficient installation of your Huum UKU sauna controllers, providing you with a seamless and enjoyable sauna experience.
