TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Product Name
PAS Vr. Alcohol Screening & Verification System
Function
Combines both
direct and passive testing
for detecting low levels of
alcohol in exhaled breath or the environment.
Alcohol Sensor
Electrochemical fuel cell generates an electrical current in response to
alcohol vapor.
Cell Heater
Built-in heater regulates fuel cell temperature at 104° (40°C)
Accuracy
Meets DOT requirements at 0.020% BrAC ( .005)
Specificity
Fuel cell detects only alcohol. It is unaffected by acetone, paint and glue
fumes, foods, confectionery, methane, and practically any other
substance likely to be found in the breath.
Breath Sample
Pump runs for 5 seconds and draws in a 1 cu.in. (15ml) air sample
(nominal figures).
Display

level.
Peak Reading
Within 2-10 secs, longer at low temperatures unless fuel cell heater is on.
Recovery Time
A few seconds to minutes after a positive reading or longer if the fuel cell
is overloaded. No recovery time if no alcohol is detected.
Power Supply
9-volt Alkaline Battery.
