Calibration Frequency See local regulations (annual test or calibration typical). Semiconductor sensors are non-selective, but calibrated to a specific gas. Bacharach recommends, at a minimum, an annual test of the unit using calibration gas of known concentration. 6209-9000 Rev 2...
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.
IAM-100 and Controller Manual 2.2. Air Conditioning (Direct Systems VRF/VRV) To ensure compliance with EN378 at least one detector should be installed in each occupied space being considered. In this case refrigerants are heavier than air and detectors should have their sensors mounted low, e.g., at less than bed height in the case of a hotel or other...

Step Instructions Immediately refit the connector to the sensor board in the back box. The IAM-100 and its corresponding remote sensor must be kept together as they are calibrated together and are a matched pair. To prevent mix-up, do not remove the sensor boards from a number of units at the same time unless you: •...

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.
(if manual reset has been selected). Before testing the sensors on site the IAM-100 must have been powered up and allowed to stabilize for several hours, preferably over a period of 24 hours.

IAM-100 and Controller Manual NOTE: Do not pressurize the sensor. NOTE: You MUST use calibration gas in a balance of air (not N NOTE: Prior to carrying out a bump test, check and adjust the zero setting. Refer to Section 6.3.
• Screwdriver Step Checking and Setting the Zero Setting Ensure that the IAM-100 is stabilized (on for more than 24 hours) Connect the voltmeter between 0V and VS. Compare the reading of the voltmeter to the factory standby voltage. Adjust P1 as necessary until the voltmeter reading matches the factory standby voltage settings.
IAM-100 and Controller Manual Figure 13. Checking and Setting the Zero Setting 6.4. IAM Controller If your installation has an IAM Controller, ensure that the controller’s functions are activating accordingly when testing the sensors. Step Checking the IAM Controller Red LED should illuminate for sensors that are in alarm.
• The sensor has been damaged or has reached fault) the end of life and needs to be exchanged. Contact Bacharach for instructions and support. • Check the remote cable between the main PCB and the remote sensor PCB to ensure the continuity.
