The Alco-Sensor V is an advanced, handheld, microprocessor driven, breath alcohol testing instrument. The Alco-Sensor V provides a simple, economical method of determining a subject’s breath alcohol concentration with evidential grade accuracy. Additionally, the Alco-Sensor V offers the ability to perform rapid screening and passive testing of subjects or it can be utilised to perform a headspace analysis of a sample over a liquid. The instrument’s design offers great flexibility. The Alco-Sensor V can be used in a stand-alone mode, it can be interfaced with a serial printer, it can be interfaced through a docking station with multiple peripherals (i.e. keyboard and printer) or it can be interfaced directly to a computer.

The Alco-Sensor V was designed with operator safety in mind. Unlike other instruments available in the market, the Alco-Sensor V’s symmetric design allows the operator to remain in control of the subject, view the instrument display, monitor the surrounding environment and divert the subject’s breath away from the operator during the sample collection process. The Alco-Sensor V also offers advantages in low light operations such as a backlit LCD display, an illuminated mouthpiece guide, a ‘lever and snap’ mouthpiece insertion and multi-color backlit display messaging
to warn of important test conditions.
