Where should the Flip be installed in the sauna?
In the seating area, at least 30 cm below the ceiling and at least 1 m away from the heater, to ensure optimal usability, accurate readings, and to protect the device from overheating.
How is the Flip powered?
Via the supplied connection cable and (depending on the model) power supply unit, or through a sauna control unit with the appropriate adapter.
What time does the hourglass show and how does the display work?
The Flip has a total of 16 LED segments – just like a real hourglass, the “light sand” flows from top to bottom.
– Top 8 segments = remaining time
– Bottom 8 segments = elapsed time
By default, the hourglass runs for 16 minutes.
– 1 LED segment = 2 minutes
If you set DIP switch 1 to 32 minutes:
– 1 LED segment = 4 minutes
This way, you can immediately see how much time is left and how much has already passed.
Can I freely set the running time (e.g. 10 minutes)?
No, the running time is fixed. By default, it is 16 minutes. It can be changed to 32 minutes via the DIP switch. Individual settings (e.g. 10 minutes) are not possible.
Can I use the Flip outside the sauna?
Yes, the Flip can also be used in other environments. It measures temperatures from –9 °C to +100 °C and humidity from 0–99 %. This makes it suitable for living spaces, fitness areas, or other applications.
Why does the Flip show a different temperature than the sauna control unit?
The Flip measures the temperature exactly at the point where it is installed – that is, where you are sitting. The sauna control unit usually has its sensor in another location, which may cause differences in readings.
If exact synchronization is required, the Flip can be connected to the sauna control via the bus interface. Whether this is necessary depends on individual needs.
Which external control units is the Flip compatible with, and how is it connected?
The Flip is compatible with the following control systems:
Harvia (formerly Sentiotec)
– Professional Series PRO-B
– Professional Series PRO-C
– Professional Series PRO-D (with bus converter)
– home.com4
