Feature description

® 1
The Alcotest 9510 performs a measuring cycle with a single
breath sample to determine the breath alcohol concentration.
When taking the breath sample breathing air is supplied to the
measuring instrument via a mouthpiece during forced
expiration.
An infrared optical sensor
combination of an infrared
3
electrochemical sensor (Alcotest 9510 Standard IR / EC) with
different analytical specificity is used for concentration
measurement.
The necessary operator and test subject actions are indicated
by brief messages and instructions on the instrument display
(also used as touchscreen).
Only if all the individual steps of the breath alcohol
determination are performed correctly and none of the internal
test criteria are outside the admitted tolerance, will the final
result of the breath alcohol measurement be indicated. A
protocol is printed on the integrated thermal printer.
The operating steps on the Alcotest 9510 are optically and
acoustically supported. Operator instructions are issued as full
text messages on the display.
