1. Quick Reference Electrical Specification Matrix

Saunum Air heaters combine high-capacity electric heating elements with an integrated patented climate equalization fan that circulates upper hot steam air to the lower floor zone while releasing Himalayan salt ions.

Table 1: 240V Single-Phase Specifications

\Note on Height: Saunum Air features a telescoping air circulation tower adjustable between 70.8" and 84.6" (1,800–2,150 mm) to fit sauna room ceiling heights.*

2. Critical Electrician Directives & Code Mandates

A. Supply Conductor Standards & Conduit Entry

• Conductor Material: Solid or stranded copper conductors only, rated minimum 90°C (194°F) (THHN/THWN).
• Conduit Rough-In: Terminate wiring using flexible metallic or liquid-tight conduit through the bottom knockout on the lower tower base.
• Neutral Conductor: The standard heater element load runs on straight 240V (L1, L2, and Ground). Verify whether the AirIQ main module requires a 120V neutral feed to power its electronic control logic and Wi-Fi interface.

B. GFCI Breaker Policy

• Manufacturer Recommendation: Connect to a dedicated standard 2-pole thermal-magnetic breaker without GFCI. Standard Class A GFCI breakers (4–6 mA) are prone to nuisance tripping during startup due to minor atmospheric moisture absorption in the large stone bank, which evaporates within 1 hour of heating.

4. Wall & Floor Mounting in Sauna Kits

The dry weight of the Saunum Air tower is 147 lbs (67 kg). When loaded with 210 lbs of stones, total operational weight reaches ~360 lbs (163 kg).

B. Telescoping Duct Adjustment

• The upper air intake duct must be extended upward until the intake grille is between 4 to 8 inches (100–200 mm) below the finished sauna ceiling to effectively capture the highest heat strata.

5. Control System Architecture (Saunum AirIQ Touchscreen)

The Saunum Air is operated by the Saunum AirIQ Control System.

6. Sizing Formula & Climate Equalization Performance

• Formula: Room Volume (cu. ft.) + (3.3 cu. ft. × Sq. Ft. Uninsulated Glass/Tile).
• Why Saunum Heats More Efficiently:

In a standard sauna, the ceiling is 190°F while the floor is 90°F. Saunum’s climate circulation fan blends the thermal layers, producing an even 165°F–175°F from head to toe. This eliminates cold feet and dramatically reduces energy consumption.

• Kit Compatibility:
• Air 5 (106–212 cu. ft.): 2–4 person indoor saunas or compact barrel saunas.
• Air 7 (177–318 cu. ft.): 4–6 person barrel saunas (Tranquility) and mid-size cabin saunas.
• Air 10 (283–494 cu. ft.): Large outdoor cabins (Georgian Cabin) and high-volume custom timber rooms.
