📐 Heater Compatibility Guide

The Harvia Xenio CX170XW is designed as a universal control solution for electric sauna heaters. Use this guide to ensure compatibility:

Compatible Heater Power Ratings:

Heater Output	Compatible	Notes
3 – 6.9 kW	✅ Yes	Single-phase or three-phase
6.9 – 11 kW	✅ Yes	Three-phase recommended
11 – 17 kW	✅ Yes	Three-phase required
17 – 34 kW	✅ Yes	Requires LTY17 power extension unit
Over 34 kW	❌ No	Contact Harvia for commercial solutions

Compatible Harvia Heater Series:

• Harvia KIP Series (without built-in controls)
• Harvia Cilindro Series
• Harvia Virta Series
• Harvia Club Series
• Harvia Spirit Series
• Harvia The Wall Series (without built-in controls)
• Harvia Topclass Series
• Harvia Vega Series
• Most other Harvia electric heaters without integrated controls

⚠️ Note: This control unit is NOT compatible with heaters that have built-in control panels.

💷 Energy Considerations

Unlike a sauna heater, the control panel itself consumes minimal power. However, here’s what to consider for your overall sauna running costs:

Control Panel Power Consumption:

• Standby mode: Less than 5W
• Active operation: Minimal (control circuits only)

Sauna Heater Running Cost Example:

Based on current UK electricity rates (Ofgem Price Cap Q4 2025: £0.2635/kWh):

Heater Size	1-Hour Session	1.5-Hour Session	Weekly (4 sessions)
6 kW	£1.58	£2.37	£9.48
9 kW	£2.37	£3.56	£14.22
12 kW	£3.16	£4.74	£18.96
17 kW	£4.48	£6.72	£26.88

Calculation Formula:

Session Cost = Heater kW × Hours × £0.2635

Example (9 kW heater, 1.5-hour session):
9 kW × 1.5 hours × £0.2635 = £3.56 per session

⚠️ Actual costs depend on your heater size, session duration, insulation quality, and current energy rates.

⚡ Installation Requirements

Electrical Requirements:

Requirement	Specification
Supply Voltage	400V 3-phase + Neutral
Maximum Fuse Size	3 × 25A
