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 graphics display
Audible Indicator
Beeper signals attention to changes in instrument status
Visual Indicator
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 via Bluetooth
Memory
Stores up to 10,000 tests and calibrations including test number, date, time and result. Actual
number of stored tests varies based on data entry volume
