A Harvia heater without dials does nothing until a control is wired to it. The Xenio range is Harvia's touch-panel control family, and it comes in three models across six part numbers. The CX30 runs heaters to 11 kW. The CX45 runs heaters to 17 kW. The CX170 is the KIP-specific control. The CX30C is the only one that runs a Virta Combi, because it has to drive a steamer as well as elements. All six carry WiFi and the MyHarvia app, and all six mount on the wall or embed flush in the surface.
Compatibility is decided by the heater, not by preference. Get this wrong and the parts will not talk to each other.
Every Xenio is sold as a supply-specific part. U1 is 240V single phase, U3 is 208V three phase, and they are not interchangeable after purchase. There is a second catch that catches people out more often: on single phase, the load a control can carry depends on how many supply wires the electrician runs to it. A CX30 handles 7 kW on one supply wire and 11 kW on two. A CX45 handles 10.8 kW on one and 17 kW on two. A CX170 handles 10.5 kW on one and 15 kW on two. Size the control against your heater and the wiring you are actually going to run.
First, series. A KIP needs a CX170, a Virta Combi needs a CX30C, and everything else takes a CX30 or CX45. Second, supply. U1 is 240V single phase and U3 is 208V three phase, fixed at the part number. Third, supply wires. On single phase the same control carries a much smaller heater on one supply wire than on two, so confirm the wiring plan before you pick the model. Every Xenio is hardwired by a licensed electrician. If your heater has dials built into it, such as a KIP B or a Cilindro with built-in controls, you do not need a Xenio at all.

If your heater load is above what a single control carries, the Harvia LTY45 power extension unit adds capacity to a CX30, CX45 or CX170. If you want the newer generation, the Harvia Fenix range covers the same heaters with a different panel. For a spare or longer data cable between the panel and the power unit, we stock the Harvia control cables separately.
Series, supply and supply wires are three separate ways to buy the wrong control, and none of them is obvious from a product photo. Tell us your heater model, its output and your panel, and we will tell you the exact part number. We stock the heaters these run, so we can check the pair rather than guess. Call 866-861-6317, 9am to 6pm EST, Monday to Friday, or book a call. Financing is available at checkout.
A KIP takes a CX170. A Virta Combi takes a CX30C. The Club, Spirit, Cilindro, Virta and Virta Pro ranges take a CX30 or a CX45, chosen on heater load. If your heater already has dials on it, you do not need a Xenio.
U1 is 240V single phase and U3 is 208V three phase. They are separate part numbers built for their own supply and cannot be converted after purchase. Confirm your panel before ordering.
On single phase the capacity depends on how many supply wires are run to the control. A CX30 carries 7 kW on one supply wire and 11 kW on two. Your electrician decides which applies, so agree the wiring before you pick the model.
Yes. Harvia rates the Xenio panel for installation inside the sauna room, wall mounted or embedded flush in the surface. Many competitor panels have to sit outside.
Yes. Every Xenio ships with the panel, a power unit, a temperature sensor, a data cable and the manual. The CX30C for Combi heaters adds a humidity sensor and a contactor box.
Included. Every current Xenio part number ends in XW and has WiFi built in. The old separate WiFi add-on module has been discontinued because it is no longer needed.
