Detector
Electrochemical fuel cell
Specificity
Fuel cell sensor is unaffected by acetone, paint and glue fumes, foods, confections, methane, and practically any other substance found in the human breath
Instrument Control
by microcontroller
Sampling
Automatic after the subject meets minimum flow and volume requirements
Accuracy
Meets DOT specifications for breath alcohol readings. Accuracy at the levels of 0.020 and 0.040 BAC is within +- 0.005 BAC of the actual value.
Response Time
Within five seconds of sampling, depending on alcohol concentration
Display
Backlit LCD graphics display
Audible Indicator
Beeper signals attention to changes in instrument status
Visual Indicator
Text messages and prompts on instrument display
Calibration
Adjustment and checking by either dry gas or wet bath. Automatic barometric pressure sensing and compensation with dry gas.
Communications
Wireless communication with printer and optional keyboard via Bluetooth
Memory
Stores between 150-300 tests including test number, date, time and result. Operator and subject data are also stored when data entry is enabled and keyboard is activated. Actual number of stored tests varies based on data entry volume
