Introduction 

 

The AlcoScan AL3500 is a coin-operated 
breathalyzer (breath alcohol tester) suitable for 
use in bars, restaurants and other commercial 
locations.  

Interactive voice prompts (integrated ARS/ 
automatic voice response system) and bright 
LED indicators on the front of the device 
provide a quick and easy way for users to check 
their alcohol levels (in %BAC).   

The AL3500 features advanced oxide 
semiconductor sensing technology, as well as 
patent-pending Pre-Calibrated Replaceable 
Sensor Modules that can be used in place of 
calibration.  

IMPORTANT: The only legally valid measure of 
%BAC (percent Blood Alcohol Concentration) is 

obtained by blood testing.    This device is for screening 

purposes only and should be used as a guide for 

self-monitoring.
