  • Page 10: Placing Sensors

    The IAM-100 and optional controller (where applicable) should be positioned carefully to avoid mechanical damage (from moving machinery, doors, etc.) and thermal extremes (close to heaters). Units should not be placed unprotected in direct or strong drafts/airflows and areas where water, moisture, or steam is present.

  • Page 25: Functional Tests And Calibration

    The IAM-100 is calibrated at the factory. After installation, a zero adjustment maybe required due to differences in environmental conditions. IMPORTANT: If the IAM-100 is exposed to a large leak it should be tested to ensure correct functionality, and the sensor replaced if necessary.
  • Page 26 In applications where life safety is critical, calibration should be done quarterly (every 3 months) or on a more frequent basis. Bacharach is not responsible for setting safety practices and policies. Safe work procedures including calibration policies are best determined by company policy, industry standards, and local codes.
