Feature description

® 1
The Alcotest 9510 performs a measuring cycle with a single
breath sample to determine the breath alcohol concentration.
During the delivery of the breath sample by forced expiration
the exhaled air is blown through a mouthpiece into the
instrument.
For the determination of concentrations an infrared optical
2
sensor (Alcotest 9510 Standard IR) or a combination of
infrared optical and electrochemical sensor
Standard IR / EC) with varying analytical specificity is used.
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 to be executed on the Alcotest 9510 are
supported optically and acoustically. Operator instructions are
issued as full text messages on the display.
