CA15FS breath alcohol detector

CA15FS fuel cell breathalyzer

A simple alcohol detector to quickly determine your blood alcohol level

It can be used both for professional purposes (to verify potential employees drinking alcohol) and for personal purposes (self-testing).

The CA15FS fuel cell breathalyzer is one of the most affordable choice in determining blood alcohol level:

• advanced electrochemical sensor

• ready for testing in seconds

• short response time

• short interval between two consecutive tests

• good accuracy

• minimum maintenance costs

• intelligent functions (no airflow detection, calibration reminder, unsuitable temperature detection for testing, low battery warning)

• automatic shutdown to save energy

Principle of operation of the CA15Fs breathalyzer:

The air sample is directed to the electrochemical sensor with two platinum electrodes, where the alcohol vapor oxidizes and generates electricity.

By accurately measuring the current generated, the alcohol detector will display the alcohol concentration in the exhaled air.

The electrochemical sensor in the CA15FS alcohol detector is a selective one and will only react to gases containing alcohol: it will NOT be influenced by gases such as acetone, ketone or other substances that can be found in human respiration.

Also, the breathalyzer will not give false-positive results for people who suffer from diabetes or have a low-carbohydrate diet.

The HAN-CA10FS alcohol detector delivers accurate results in a wide detection range, up to 4.00 ‰

The alcohol detector has an important function of detecting the ambient temperature to help you use it within normal temperature limits.

The benefits of the Advanced fuel cell sensor

The electrochemical fuel cell sensor (electrochemical sensor) is the latest invention in the non-invasive determination of blood alcohol level. Designed to be more stable and accurate than an alcohol semiconductor sensor, the electrochemical sensor is the gold standard in determining blood alcohol level.

Thanks to the high quality innovative construction materials used in the production process, their life has been significantly extended, the interval between two calibrations has been extended. A rare calibration and almost no service requirement significantly reduce the long-term maintenance costs of the device.

How are blood alcohol tests done?

Easy to use, insert a sanitary mouthpiece into the blow-hole and start the blood alcohol test.

Press the On/Off button. The alcohol detector will indicate "ON" and will start the countdown from 15-35 seconds to 0. This process prepares the detection sensor and the circuits for measurment.

After the message “BLO” was displayed on the screen, accompanied by a “Beep” sound, blow in the breathalyzer until you hear the “Beep-Beeeep” sound. Blow continuously approx. 4 seconds, with the same intensity and do not stop blowing.

After the calculation process (between 3 -22 seconds) the blood alcohol test result is displayed in 3-digit format (0.00 ‰) for 30 seconds. If the blood alcohol level has exceeded 0.50 ‰, the red “WARN” LED will appear on the display accompanied by an audible warning message.

To take a new blood alcohol test, briefly press the On / Off button.

After 30 seconds of inactivity, the alcohol test will stop automatically.
