Description
The Helo WE 53 is a contactor box for professional installations that combine an electric sauna heater with infrared panels, switching both from a single Elite Free control panel. It is compatible with the SKLE, Laava and Octa commercial heaters and carries two supply feeds: one for the heater, rated 4.5–15 kW at 400–415 V 3N~ or 4.5–9 kW at 230 V 3~, and one for the infrared panels, rated up to 16.2 kW (a maximum of eighteen 900 W panels) at 400–415 V 3N~ or 9 kW at 230 V 3~. The infrared function is activated from the Elite panel and runs between 40 and 60 °C, with the heater and panels working together or the panels alone at the lowest setting. The box is best placed outside the sauna room; the Elite Free control panel, heater and infrared panels are all sold separately.
