This article provides instructions for installing the Harvia door switch and configuring the control panel settings for remote use of the sauna heater. Applies to products equipped with both Fenix and Xenio control panels.
Please note that the door switch is not suitable for public saunas! When used as a safety device, the door switch requires that remote control is reactivated from the control panel after each sauna session or after each time the door is opened. For professional use, we recommend the SFE safety device.

- If the control panel is placed inside the sauna room, the sauna door must be closed within 30 seconds of remote use activation.
Remote use - Fenix control panels
- Activate remote use by pressing the door icon on the control panel. Remote use is activated after a 30 second delay. The heater can then be remotely controlled by using the app.

- The door switch is incorrectly connected to the circuit board. Check connections.
- The magnet is too far away from the door sensor. Check installation distances.
