Features & Benefits Available Unit Accessories
SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
Sampling System The software monitored diagnostic system requires proper battery power, proper instrument temperature, successful instrument pretest blank and the delivery of a "deep lung" breath specimen before automatically taking a sample.
Mouthpiece The disposable one-way mouthpiece is individually wrapped and can be automatically ejected from the instrument to avoid personal contact.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Power Supply 9 volt heavy duty alkaline battery Battery Capacity 300+ tests per battery
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Size/Weight Hand held, 11 oz
Case Construction
THE UNIT The AlcoSensor IV is a hand-held breath alcohol tester. It offers a simple, accurate and economical method of determining a subject's blood alcohol level.
UNIQUE FEATURES The AlcoSensor IV follows an automated, software driven test protocol. Each function is displayed on an LED panel, which provides the operator with step-by-step instructions for fail-safe testing. The AlcoSensor IV automatically samples deep lung breath and displays results in a three-digit readout. The unit has automatic

calibration and a mouthpiece release feature which eliminates operator contact with a used mouthpiece.
ANALYTICAL
Sensor The fuel cell sensor generates a response that is proportional to the Breath Alcohol Concentration.
Accuracy & Precision US DOT approved for evidential use. Meets and exceeds the federal model specification for traffic enforcement and Omnibus Breath Alcohol Testing.
Specificity The fuel cell sensor is sensitive to alcohol. It does not respond to acetone or other substances which are found in the breath.
Measurement Limits The AlcoSensor III can accurately detect breath alcohol levels between .000 - .400 BrAC.
Response Time The unit responds within 10 seconds on negative samples and within 30 - 45 seconds on positive samples.
Sampling Rate The patented analytical system permits quick results, more positive tests per time period with no loss of

sensitivity.
Drift Instruments will maintain calibration (plus or minus .005 at the .100 level) for months.
Calibration Checks and calibrations should be performed with either a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) approved wet bath simulator or a dry gas standard.
Environmental Can operate between 0° and 40° C.
