SERVICE GUIDELINES

1. Thank you for purchasing this product. Before operation, please read this manual carefully to

help prevent any accidents or damage to the device due to miss use.

2. Do not modify, repair, or replace parts in the device without contacting IMR, we assume no

liability for any harm caused due to improperly modified equipment.

3. Any damage caused due to incorrect operation shall not be covered.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Before using the detector please carefully read the below safety information first and follow the

operation requirement:

1. Do not use if damaged or defective. Before use check physical damage or missing parts.

2. Each day before use it is recommended to perform a “bump test” to ensure the detector is

operation properly. See section 4.6

3. It is recommended that a “bump test” be performed periodically to ensure that the audible, visual

and vibration alarms are set to the correct level and are functioning properly.

4. Only use authorized accessories provided by IMR. Use of unauthorized accessories may result in

damage to the device.

5. Only use the charger provided with the instrument to charge the detector. Only charge in a safe

environment. Charging in a hazardous environment is not advisable.

6. Detectors using catalytic sensors or semi-conductor sensors cannot be exposed to gases with

concentrations over the detector’s range. Doing so will overload the detector and interfere with

its performance or even cause damage.

7. Detectors using catalytic sensors or semi-conductor sensors cannot be exposed to gas

environments that contain lead compounds, sulfur compounds, phosphorous compounds or

silicon. These environments will damage a catalytic sensor or semi-conductor sensor.

8. Detectors using catalytic sensors or semi-conductor sensors cannot be exposed to gas

environment which contain hydrogen sulfide, halogenated hydrocarbon or highly corrosive

environments. These environments will dampen the sensor’s response and decrease the sensor’s

sensitivity to gases. If the detector has to be used in the above environments. Then preform a

“bump test” after use.

9. Do not expose the detector to electric shock, strong electromagnetic fields or intense continuous

mechanical vibration.

10. Do not discard the battery in the standard trash. Please follow all local regulatory and

environment regulations pertaining to lithium battery disposal.

11. Disassembly, modification, or repair of the detector by the end user is prohibited.

12. Take precautions to prevent the detector from being dropped at high elevations and intense

vibration.

13. For any usage or trouble shooting not covered in this manual contact IMR.

6. STEL alarm display, green light self-test

7. TWA alarm display

8. Count down

After the start up self-test has completed the

device then enters into detection mode. The

screen will show the concentration value of

the target gases.

Note: The device is set to auto zero calibration

after power on. It is necessary to power on the

device in an environment with “clean air”.

Otherwise an unreliable “zero” will be

obtained. This can lead to serious injury or

death. We assume no responsibility for the

failure to follow these guidelines.

4.2.POWER OFF

While in detection mode hold the button for 3

seconds. Buzzer does a long beep 3 times and

short beep twice. Then the device is powered

off.

4.3.ALARM

When the gas concentration in the air reaches

or exceeds the preset alarm levels the alarms

will trigger audible, visual and vibrate signals.

If the user cannot quickly exit this

environment quickly the audible and vibrate

alarms can be suspended by pressing the

button.

If the target toxic gas concentration reaches or

exceeds the preset value, the device will also

give STEL and TWA alert signals.

The instrument also has sensor fault alerts and

low voltage alerts. The screen will show the

relative alert indication.

Note: Verify that the STEL alert, TWA alert,

sensor fault alert and low voltage alert are

enabled before using.

7. Calibration completion

If you are going to calibrate more than one

type gas repeat the process. Mixed gases can

also be used to calibrate all the gases together

and then complete calibration in one cycle.

4.6.BUMP TEST

In order to make sure the IX616 is working

correctly it is suggested to do a “bump test”

before every use.

Test method: With the device is powered on

expose it to the target gas or standard gas

environment with high a concentration that is

beyond the high alarm level. If the device

reacts correctly and the reading is accurate

then the detector may be used in the field.

If the reading is beyond the regular error

ranges recalibrate the device. See section 4.5.

If the device does not respond or display is

faulty (error) contact IMR.

5. DATA COMMUNICATION

The PC software can be used to configure the

detectors settings and download sample data

to a computer for analysis.

Use the provided USB/Charging cable to

connect the device to a PC. After the device is

connected run the PC software.

Warning: DO NOT connect the device with a

computer in the detection site. The connection

or disconnection of the cable may cause sparks

which may lead to fire or explosion.

6. CHARGING

When the device cannot be powered on

because of low battery then the device should

be charged with the provided charger. Connect

it to an AC100~240V power source. The

device will automatically power on and begin

charging. The screen will show the charging

icon. When the icon shows the battery is full

disconnect the device from AC power. The

device will then work normally again.

Warning:

1. When charging the device while powered

off. It cannot be powered on and used to

detect.

2. It is hazardous to charge the device on site.

Doing so may cause fire or explosion.

3. Charging the device while powered off is

the fastest and most efficient method.

Note: Charge the device once every 3 months

if the device is not in regular use.

Avoid charging the device in an environment

with a temperature below 0℃ as this might

damage the battery.

7. SENSOR’S USE AND REPLACEMENT

The device uses modular sensors. Keep in

mind the age of the sensor modules. When the

sensor module is 3-5 years old replace it with

new one.

In order to guarantee accuracy it is suggested

to re-calibrate the sensor modules at least once

every 6 months.

Please ask IMR about sensor replacement.

After installing the new sensor module into the

device calibrate the new sensor before

returning the device to the field.
