INTRODUCTION
The ALCOTECTOR is a state of the art instrument used to detect Ethyl Alochol from a valid breath sample. The
ALCOTECTOR uses an electrochemical fuel cell to measure the concentreation of alcohol from the sample of ex-
pired breath from a human subject. If alcohol is present, a corresponding voltage is generated from the fuel cell,
which is proportional to the alcohol contect of the sample provided by a human subject. This voltage isthen sent to
the CPU and converted to a subject’s BAC which is then displayed on the display of the ALCOTECTOR.
Instrument Features:
1. Test record storage can be as high as 2000 entries depending on version of software being used. Capability of
uploading subject tests for record keeping.
2. Use of the Guth Ultrap disposable mouthpiece to prevent foreign matter from entering ALCOTECTOR.
3. A hard metal case is included for storage of the Alcotector and accessories for easy transport. When not in use,
the Alcotector should be stored in its metal case to prevent damage from occurring.
4. Ability to run as often as needed. Recovery time between tests on average is 30 seconds between positive tests.
Powered by 4 AA rechargeable batteries. Batteries are located behind sliding cover on the back of the unit. The
Alcotector will indicate battery power by displaying a picture of the battery and level of power left in battery. A cigar
plug adapter is also included for use by the operator.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONS
Operating temperature range of the Alcotector is 0¢J~ 40¢J.Use of the Alcotector within this temperature range will
limit condensation from a subjects breath to insure an accurate reading from a breath sample.
It is recommended that the operator observe the subject for about 20 minutes before administering the breath test
to insure that nothing is consumed or expelled from the mouth of the subject. Following this procedure will eliminate
readings from mouth alcohol.
Eliminate all sources of Radio Frequency interference (i.e. transmitting portable radios; cell phones; etc.) when
conducting a subject test with the Alcotector.
