Overview

Among various indoor gases, CO2 is the gas that best represents indoor air quality. High concentrations of CO2 can cause headaches, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure to high levels of CO2 may have negative effects on the respiratory system and may even lead to diseases such as tracheitis and pneumonia. Therefore, it is vitally important to maintain an appropriate range of indoor CO2 concentration for the sake of health.
That's why we have introduced IAM-T1, Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor that helps you stay safe and healthy.

The first choice for family air health and safety
Equipped with the world's leading SENSEAIR air sensor, IAM-T1 ensures high accuracy, high performance, and ultra-low power consumption, with precise and stable detection of indoor air quality.
Four-year ultra-long battery life
With ultra-low power consumption sensors and low-power ink screens, using 2 large-capacity AA alkaline batteries, IAM-T1 can operate stably for 4 years with a 10-minute sampling interval, without frequent replacement of batteries, which is simple and convenient.
Intelligent use with Bluetooth 5.0 and mobile APP
The IAM-T1 device locally records data for 30 days, and transfers it to the mobile app via Bluetooth for backup, and displays historical data in a visual form through charts In addition, it allows users to observe, compare, and analyze long-term monitoring data.
Clear and intuitive electronic ink screen
With high-contrast 180º no-dead-angle visual experience, IAM-T1 provides accurate and clear CO2 concentration eve indication, making it easy for users to understand the current air quality.

Buzzer Switch Icon
Displayed buzzer sound on the device is turned on;

Disappears the buzzer sound is turned off

warning Note: The buzzer's settings can be adjusted using the INKBIRD app!

CO2 Concentration Value (ppm)
CO2 concentration level in ppm (parts per million).

Product Diagram - Part 3

CO2 Threshold Level Indicator

When the progress bar is within the green part , the CO2 concentration level is in a good state (<1000 ppm).

When the progress bar is within the yellow part , the CO2 concentration level is in a medium state (1000~1400 ppm).

When the progress bar is within the red part , the CO2 concentration level is in an unhealthy state ( > 1400 ppm).

warning Note: These are default thresholds that can be reconfigured using the INKBIRD app.

Product Diagram - Part 4

Temperature (ºC/ ºF)
Temperature: the temperature of the air in ºC or ºF
warning Note: See the Key Definitions in this manual to understand how to change temperature unit.

Relative Humidity ( % )
the relative humidity of the air, expressed in RH%.

Startup Interface

When the device is powered on with a battery installed, it will be initialized. Please wait for a few seconds!

CO2 Alarm Interface

When the CO2 level exceeds the preset alarm value, the display on the screen will become black and white. The alarm is triggered by the unhealthy state (red) by default The alarm value can be customized through the App.

Low Battery Interface

If the battery is exhausted, replace it as soon as possible Try to use 2* AA alkaline batteries with a higher capacity. ( ≥ 2500mah)

Too-low Ambient Temperature

Interface This interface will be displayed when the ambient temperature is lower than 0ºC. The temperature measurement range of the device is 0~50ºC, and temperature beyond the range will affect the normal operation of the device.

CO2 Detection Error

The detected CO2 concentration may exceed 9999 ppm. Please do not exhale directly into the device, as the gas concentration from the human body can be as high as 30000 - 50000 ppm Please use this device within the detection range

Buzzer Sound Description

Unhealthy data alarm: When the CO2 concentration reaches an unhealthy state(red),the device emits a soft "beep"buzzing sound

Settings on the App:

Turn off the buzzer;
Sound one time: When the sampled value continuously exceeds the alarm value within a period, the buzzer will sound at the first sampling time when the preset alarm value is judged to be exceeded
Sound every time: When the sampled value continuously exceeds the alarm value within a period, the buzzer will sound every time it is judged that the preset alarm value is exceeded.

Troubleshooting Guide

ISSUES	POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
The value of CO2/ temperature/humidity did not change for a long time	The device samples once per minute at the fastest. Please wait for it. If you need to change the sampling time to 2min/5min/10 min, please set it on the App. The longer the sample interval, the longer the battery life. At the same place, and when the air environment is slightly flowing, the CO2 concentration is relatively stable, so the value will not change rapidly. This is a stable and accurate method of air quality detection.
The device displays "error: 1050"	It may be caused by humans exhaling/blowing into the device. The CO2 concentration of the gas emitted by humans can be as high as 30000—50000 ppm. It may be that the device stays close to a special place where high concentrations Of CO2 are emitted, such as furnaces, smoking, and Other high concentrations of smoke (within 50cm). Do not leave the device continuously in an area with high smoke concentration. Note that this device supports a CO2 concentration detection range of 0-9999 PPM.
CO2 calibration	The monitor is calibrated at the factory. However, the user can carry out CO2 calibration manually when needed. The general recommendation is to calibrate once a year, but more often if it is used in dusty environments. During the manual calibration, the device must be exposed to fresh outdoor air. Keep a distance of at least one meter from the device during the calibration process - no humans, animals, or plants should be closer to the device during calibration.
