3.0 Part descriptions
Read the following part summaries before beginning calibration setup.
3.1 ALCOSIM breath alcohol simulator
The simulator calibration method uses a known water alcohol solution to produce an air to alcohol vapour. To simulate the
human breath, this vapour is thermostatically maintained at a constant temperature of 34°C. The result is an accurate method
of recreating a known breath alcohol concentration (BrAC).
3.2 Calibration Station (CS)
The CS provides the air supply to the ALCOSIM simulator, and logs the number of tests performed with each bottle of alcohol
reference solution. The CS also downloads event logs recorded in the WR3 HS.
3.3 ITE
A proprietary computer-software application, and its suite of applications, developed by ACS and provided as a service over the
internet for use by Service Providers, Service Centres, and others authorized by ACS for the delivery of Program Services –
including any upgrades thereto.
Depending on the jurisdiction, it may be necessary to download the event log once calibration is complete.
To learn more about ITE, refer to the ITE application manual.
3.4 Alcohol reference solution
The alcohol reference solution used in the CS is provided by ACS Corp in 500 mL containers. Each container is labelled with:
BAC value of the solution
Lot number of the solution
Serial (bottle) number of each container
Date of manufacture
Expiry date
Check that the solution is the correct value –50 mg/dL (0.50 g/L) –required for calibrating, and the date is not expired.

CALIBRATION STATION INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5
6.0 Unpacking, inspection and operating check
ATTENTION! Note the following before unpacking any components or adding water to the ALCOSIM simulator:
Do not switch on the ALCOSIM simulator and CS until instructed
Do not plug in the ALCOSIM simulator and CS power cables until instructed
If the ALCOSIM was powered on, wait 15 minutes for the components to cool off before removing the top housing
Never open the ALCOSIM top housing when the simulator is switched on or plugged in
Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or may damage the device
6.1 Inspecting the ALCOSIM simulator
1. Carefully unpack and visually inspect the unit.
2. Disassemble the solution jar from the top housing by turning the top housing counter clockwise.
3. Carefully lift the top housing so that the internal components (e.g., the propeller) do not touch the jar.
4. Place 500 ml of tap water into the container and replace the top housing. Do not over-tighten.
5. Connect plastic tubing to the air outlet (side) and the air inlet (top).
6. Cover the air outlet tube with your thumb and blow into the air inlet tube.
It should not be possible to blow into the ALCOSIM simulator and cause bubbling of air through the solution. If air can be
freely blown into the ALCOSIM simulator, the rubber "O" ring seal is either damaged or misaligned. In this case, remove
the top assembly and reposition the seal. Replace the seal if it is worn or damaged.
7. Check that the ALCOSIM simulator power rating conforms to the local supply rating.
8. Connect the power cord to the ALCOSIM power input and to the AC wall port and switch on the ALCOSIM simulator.
ALCOSIM power input:
The ALCOSIM heaters and mixing propellers automatically activate. The ALCOSIM simulator begins heating the solution
to 34°C. This takes up to 20 minutes. The ALCOSIM screen displays the solution temperature.
9. If the ALCOSIM simulator operates correctly, turn the power switch off and disconnect power. Wait 15 minutes for the
components to cool off
10. Remove top housing from the container. Discard water, dry out the container and wipe off components attached to the top
housing. Reassemble the top housing for storage.
6.2 Inspecting the CS
Unpack the CS and check for physical damage. Check all electrical and tube connections. Connect to power supply and check
functionality.
