011140K kit

The perfect tester to screen for alcohol use in zero-tolerance situations, such as students during school or special events, inmates in correctional facilities, work-release program participants, employee testing and drivers at traffic roadblocks. Fast, accurate alcohol testing. Four AA batteries included. • 1 AlcoBlow

• 5 Non-Alcohol Antiseptic Swipes

• 1 Neoprene Pouch

• 4 AA Batteries

• 1 Operators Manual

 The AlcoBlow can be blown into directly or used in a passive mode to sample for alcohol in the space directly above a beverage.  It uses an electrochemical fuel cell to gauge alcohol concentration.  The AlcoBlow is backed by CMI's factory service and support.

CMI Warranty

• Operating modes and indicators / Handheld breath alcohol tester /An efficient and easy way to quickly gauge whether a person has consumed alcohol
• Detector: Electrochemical fuel cell detector, the alcohol screening of choice of law enforcement worldwide / Detector reacts only to alcohol /Using AlcoBlow ® offers many advantages over low-cost semi-conductor sensors used in consumer-grade products / No warm-up time, always ready to use
• Fast, easy testing sequence / Quick instrument recovery time allows for testing on several people within a short time / Two modes of operation – Active and Passive – fit any testing situation / No mouthpieces needed

• No regular calibration checks or calibration adjustments needed / Low power needs means extended battery life / Two operating modes
• Active: The subject participates by blowing into the cone of the instrument where a sample of breath is collected for analysis
• Passive: The cone end of the instrument is placed in a space of air where alcohol may be present. This mode can be used without a subject's cooperation or can be used in the area above a drink to determine if it contains alcohol
• Tri-Color LED Indicator Lights
• Green: Person has not consumed alcohol
• Amber: Person has a low level of alcohol (.010% to .020% BAC) in his/her body
• Red: Person's bloodstream is carrying a high amount (> .020% BAC) of alcohol
• Response Time: Approximately three seconds from sampling
• Result Display Time: 3-5 seconds, depending on alcohol level
• Reset Time: Two seconds at zero alcohol reading, less than 20 seconds at readings > .020% BAC
• Dimensions: 10-½" long x 1.9" at the widest point (265 mm long x 48 mm)
• Weight: 10-½ oz. with batteries (300 grams)
• Power Supply: (4) "AA" batteries (included); provides about 2,500 tests
• Recommended Operating Temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
• Audible Function: Indicates a status change
• Calibration/Service: Not more than once per year
• Alcohol-free moist towelettes included (used to clean cone area after several successive tests in Active mode)

The second most widely accepted form of breath alcohol analysis today is the fuel cell. CMI’s sister company, Lion Laboratories, originally developed fuel cell technology in the 1970s. Fuel cell-based alcohol testers have been used primarily in preliminary, at-the-scene alcohol screeners by law enforcement for many years. More recently, testing instruments that utilize fuel cells have been approved for Department of Transportation-related evidential grade testing.

Since the volume of breath introduced into the fuel cell is constant, the electron flow is fully proportional to the amount of alcohol in the sample, and the electron flow generated, after passing through the instrument’s measuring electronics, is displayed in terms of the concentration of alcohol present in the breath sample.
