2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General Description
Thank you for purchasing ourYES IMS multi-sensor, indoor air quality monitor (IAQ) and
recording instrument.
TheYES IMS is a self-contained, IAQ Intelligent Monitoring System (IMS) with a nine channel
sensor capacity, two dedicated to one internal relative humidity (RH) and one temperature
sensor and the remaining congurable up to seven gas sensors.
Options include a xed wall mount model or a desktop model with a wide range of sensors to
choose from, including particulate, electrochemical, solid state combustible, infrared, and TVOCs
(solid state and PID).The xed wall mount model can be permanently wired with 24VAC or DC
and the desktop model comes with a 12VDC wall adapter. Both models allow for around the
clock continuous monitoring and datalogging.
YES IMS has an internal logging memory that will store over two month’s worth of readings
when logging once per minute. Data is saved in a Microsoft® Excel friendly CSV format and can
be extracted from the unit with a standard USB connection or Wi-Fi interface. Users can then
analyze and graph data using CETCI’s proprietary datalogging software, IMSViewer.
An example of a common IAQ package would be temperature, RH, CO, CO2, particulates and
TVOCs.
If after reading through the manual, you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
our Service Department for technical support.
