Technical Specification: Electrical Supply

CRITICAL: NOTICE TO THE PROPERTY OWNER

Owner’s Brief for the Holl’s Purewave 3-4 (3-4 Person)

The Purewave 3-4 draws approximately 11.3 Amps. While this is technically under the 13A fuse limit of a UK plug, running 2600W continuously for an hour puts significant thermal stress on domestic sockets.

THE GOLDEN RULE: You must use a dedicated wall socket. NEVER use an extension lead or multi-plug adapter. For the highest level of safety and to prevent nuisance tripping, we strongly recommend having a dedicated 16A or 20A radial circuit installed by a Registered Electrician.

1. Power Infrastructure Requirements

The system must simultaneously power 7 Dual Healthy emitters, the touchscreen, the Ionizer, and the resonance audio system.

• Socket Audit: If using an existing socket, ensure it is not "daisy-chained" to other high-draw appliances (like a washing machine or heater). A loose socket connection at 11.3A will generate heat and eventually melt the plug.
• Hardwiring Option: If you are renovating, ask your electrician to hardwire the unit to a 20A Double-Pole Isolator. This is the professional standard for a 4-person infrared cabin.

2. Digital Logic & Safety

• RCD Protection: The circuit must be protected by a 30mA RCD. This is essential to protect the central touchscreen and the users from potential faults in the high-capacity emitter array.
• Surge Protection: The Purewave’s central touchscreen is a digital computer. We recommend a surge-protected circuit to prevent the logic board from being fried during a power grid spike.
• Ioniser Load: The Dual-action Ioniser starts automatically with the session. Ensure the electrician verifies that the total load (Emitters + Ioniser + Audio) remains stable under peak draw.

3. Emitter & Control Wiring

• The 7-Panel Array: The wiring harness for 7 emitters is complex. Ensure no cables are pinched between the corner panels during assembly, as a pinched cable at 11.3A is a significant fire risk.
• Touchscreen Calibration: Once powered, the electrician or installer should verify the "Quartz/Magnesium" toggle. Each mode changes the power distribution across the 7 panels.

4. Commissioning

• Certification: If hardwired, your electrician must provide a Minor Works Certificate. This is your proof of professional installation, required for the 2-year electronics warranty.
• Heat Soak Test: Run the sauna at full power for 30 minutes. Check the temperature of the plug or isolator; it should remain cool or only slightly warm.

Owner’s Electrical Action Plan

1. Survey: Confirm a dedicated, high-quality wall socket is within 2 meters of the unit.

2. Safety Check: Ensure the circuit is RCD-protected at the consumer unit.

3. No Extensions: Physically verify that the unit is not plugged into any extension lead.

4. Interface Test: Ensure the touchscreen responds correctly to intensity and colour changes.

Delivery & Installation Protocol: Holl's Purewave 3-4

HL-PW03C | 3-4 Person Corner Dual Healthy Infrared Cabin

As a corner unit featuring 7 specialised emitters and a central touchscreen, the Purewave 3-4 requires precise structural alignment to ensure the mitred joints and electronic arrays function perfectly.

1. Receipt & "Flagship" Audit (Mandatory)

• The 24-Hour Inspection Rule: Unbox and inspect the secured glass door, the 7 Dual Healthy emitters, and the Abachi headrests within 24 hours.
• Corner Panel Check: Inspect the mitred edges of the Canadian Spruce panels. Any transit damage to these corners will prevent a flush fit during assembly.
• Component Inventory: Confirm the inclusion of the Dual-action Ioniser, the touchscreen control panel, and the resonance audio components.

2. Site Preparation: The 140 x 140 Corner Footprint

• The Foundation: A 140 x 140 cm level surface is non-negotiable. Because this is a corner model, a floor variance of even a few millimetres will cause the wall panels to "gap" at the top, leading to heat loss and structural stress on the glass door.
• Indoor Environment: This is a high-tech electronic instrument. It must be installed in a dry, indoor room. Cold or damp environments will cause condensation inside the touchscreen and control hub.

• Clearance: Ensure at least 205cm of ceiling height to allow for the connection of the emitter cables on the roof of the 190cm cabin.

3. Installation Pathway: The Corner Logic

Pathway A: Professional Installation

• Mitre Alignment: Professionals will ensure the corner joints are pulled tight, and the "Dual Healthy" panels are wired back to the hub with zero tension on the leads.
• Resonance Audio Calibration: Correct mounting of the speakers against the Spruce walls to ensure audio travels clearly across the 140cm wide cabin.

Pathway B: Self-Assembly (2-3 Person Task)

• Corner Assembly: Start with the back corner panels. Have one person hold the panels while another secures the locking mechanisms. This is the structural anchor for the rest of the build.
• Plug & Play Wiring: Connect the 7 Dual Healthy emitters (Quartz/Magnesium) using the colour-coded guide. Ensure all cables are clicked in before the Abachi benches are permanently fixed.
• Glass Door Hanging: The glass door must be hung last. Ensure it is perfectly plumb so the wooden handle and magnetic seal align perfectly without rubbing.

4. Commissioning & Purifier Initiation

• The Initial "Bake": Run a 45-minute session at 50°C with the door open. This vents the new Spruce and allows the Dual-action Ioniser to cleanse the internal atmosphere.
• Touchscreen Interface: Test the Bluetooth pairing and cycle through the 7-colour LED Chromotherapy spectrum (Red to Purple) to ensure full interior coverage.
• Toggle Test: Switch the emitters between Quartz and Magnesium to confirm the Full Spectrum technology is responding across all 7 panels.

Holl’s Purewave 3-4: Warranty Statement

HL-PW03C | Corner Dual Healthy Protection Terms

The Purewave 3-4 is a precision-engineered wellness system. To safeguard your 10-year wood warranty and 2-year electronics coverage, the following professional standards for large-format infrared cabins must be upheld.

1. Warranty Duration

Holl’s provides a premium guarantee for this high-capacity corner model:

• Wood Structure: 10-Year Warranty against manufacturing defects, structural failure, or rot of the Canadian Spruce and Abachi wood.
• Electronics: 2-Year Warranty covering the 7 Dual Healthy emitters, the central touchscreen control panel, the Bluetooth resonance audio system, and the Dual-action Ionizer.
• Usage: These terms apply strictly to private domestic indoor installations.

2. Conditions for Validity

To maintain your coverage, these technical and environmental conditions are mandatory:

• Power Infrastructure: While the Purewave 3-4 draws 11.3 Amps, it must be connected to a high-quality, dedicated wall socket. The use of extension leads, multi-way adapters, or reels will cause voltage drop and overheating, which voids the 2-year electronics warranty.
• Corner Structural Integrity: The floor must be 100% level. Because this is a corner-integrated unit, any "sag" in the floor will cause the mitered spruce joints to pull apart over time. Structural damage resulting from unlevel flooring is considered an installation fault and is not covered under the 10-year warranty.
• Indoor Climate Control: This unit contains a digital touchscreen and an ionizer. Installation in unheated garages, damp outbuildings, or outdoors will void all warranties. The electronics require a stable, dry indoor environment (15°C–30°C).

3. The 24-Hour Inspection Rule (Corner Panels & Glass)

• Secured Glass & Emitters: You must unbox and inspect the glass door and the protective covers of the 7 infrared emitters for transit damage within 24 hours of delivery.
• Mitered Corners: Inspect the hand-polished Spruce corner panels. Any transit-related chips or fractures to the interlocking edges must be reported immediately to ensure a flush, warrantied fit.
• Touchscreen Check: Power on the display immediately to verify touch-responsiveness and display clarity.

4. Material Integrity & Care

• Breathable Wood Protection: To maintain the 10-year warranty, you must apply a breathable oil-based finish to the exterior Spruce. This prevents the wood from "checking" (cracking) due to the 2600W thermal cycles.
• Prohibited Sealants: Never use non-breathable varnish, gloss paint, or wax on the interior Abachi or Spruce. These block the wood's ability to breathe and can release VOCs at high temperatures, voiding the warranty.
• Touchscreen Maintenance: Clean the control panel only with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Chemical cleaners can degrade the touch-sensitive layer.

5. Claims Procedure

In the event of a technical or structural issue:

1. Documentation: Provide your original purchase record and the Model name (HL-PW03C).
2. Electrical Context: Details of the dedicated power source will be required for any electronic claims.
3. Visual Evidence: Clear photos of the corner joints, the floor level, and the control panel status.

Warranty Validity Checklist

•  Inspection: Reported any transit damage to the 7 emitters or glass within 24 hours?
•  Environment: Is the sauna in a temperature-controlled indoor room on a level surface?
•  Power: Is the unit plugged into a dedicated wall socket (absolutely no extensions)?
•  Wood Care: Has a breathable oil-based finish been applied to the exterior?
