📐 Compatibility & Capacity Guide

The Timer-IR is specifically designed for use with Tylö infrared heating panels. With its 10A/2.2kW capacity, you can control multiple panels simultaneously:

Panel Type	Power	Max Panels with Timer-IR
Tylö IR Panel 980×275mm	100W	Up to 22 panels
Tylö IR Panel 980×360mm	150W	Up to 14 panels
Tylö IR Panel 980×680mm	300W	Up to 7 panels
Mixed Installation	Varies	Total must not exceed 2,200W

Typical Installation Examples:

📍 Personal Infrared Cabin (1-2 Person): 4× 150W panels = 600W ✅ Well within capacity

📍 Home Wellness Room (2-4 Person): 6× 300W panels = 1,800W ✅ Suitable

📍 Commercial Infrared Suite: 7× 300W panels = 2,100W ✅ At capacity

⚠️ For installations exceeding 2.2kW total load, use the Tylö Elite control panel with Commercial Lite relay box instead.

💷 Running Costs

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635/kWh (UK Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)

Since the Timer-IR is a control device (not a heater), it consumes negligible power itself. Running costs depend on the infrared panels being controlled:

Example: Typical Home IR Installation (900W total panel load)

Usage Level	Sessions/Week	Hours/Year	Annual Cost
🏠 Light Use	2	100	£23.72
🏠 Regular Use	4	200	£47.43
🧖 Heavy Use	6	300	£71.15

Cost Calculation Formula:

Annual Cost = Total Panel Wattage (kW) × Hours/Year × £0.2635

Example (0.9kW installation, Regular Use):
0.9 kW × 200 hours × £0.2635 = £47.43 per year

Per Session Cost (1 hour): 0.9 kW × 1 hr × £0.2635 = £0.24

Key Benefit: The automatic shut-off function prevents panels running longer than intended, avoiding wasted energy and reducing costs.

⚠️ Actual costs depend on your panel configuration, usage patterns, and current energy rates.

⚡ Installation Requirements

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size infrared installation can this timer control? A: The Timer-IR can control up to 2,200W (2.2kW) of infrared panels. This typically accommodates 7× 300W panels, 14× 150W panels, or any combination totalling no more than 2.2kW.

Q: Can I use this timer with non-Tylö infrared panels? A: The Timer-IR is specifically designed and tested for use with Tylö infrared panels. Whilst it may work with other 230V resistive loads within its rating, compatibility and warranty coverage cannot be guaranteed with third-party panels.

Q: Where should I install the timer? A: The timer can be installed inside or outside the sauna cabin. For cabin installation, choose a location away from direct heater exposure. Outside installation is often preferred for easier access and longer component life.

Q: Does the timer have a delay start function? A: No, the Timer-IR provides countdown timing only. The infrared panels activate immediately upon setting the timer and shut off when the selected time elapses. For delay/pre-heat functions, consider the Tylö Elite control panel.

Q: What happens if there’s a power cut during a session? A: The timer will reset and remain off when power returns. This is a safety feature preventing unexpected panel activation.

Q: Can I extend the timer during a session? A: Yes, simply press the button to select a new time setting. The timer will reset to the newly selected duration.

Q: Is this suitable for commercial use? A: Yes, the Timer-IR is built to commercial quality standards with Nordic safety certifications. It’s suitable for professional wellness facilities, though very high-use environments may benefit from the more feature-rich Elite control panel.

Q: What’s the difference between this and the Elite control panel? A: The Timer-IR provides simple timed on/off control for infrared panels only. The Elite panel offers WiFi connectivity, smartphone app control, calendar scheduling, temperature monitoring, and compatibility with both traditional heaters and IR panels.
