Specifications for lion alcolmeter^® 500

Analytical Principle

► Lion fuel cell sensor for alcohol analysis. Unaffected by acetone, hydrocarbons, non-alcoholic food and drug vapours, and all other likely breath contaminants.

Measuring Range

► 0.02 to 2.00mg/litre; .005 to .400% BAC [g/210 litres]. An over-range indication is given at higher levels.

Breath Sampling

► The 500 automatically samples deep lung air. An optional Manual override feature may also be used, if required.

Analytical Response Time

► Normally within 30 seconds, but within 5 seconds at the 'zero' alcohol level.

Recovery Time

► Approximately 100 seconds at 0.50mg/l.

Operating Temperature [Optimum]

► -5^○C to +40^○C.

Storage Temperature

► -20^○C to +65^○C.

Power Supply

► Two AAA cells provide sufficient power for around 400 breath tests. Two stage low power warning system.

Humidity

► 10 to 95%, non-condensing.

Barometric Pressure

► 600 to 1,300hPa.

Calibration

► Recommended every 6 months, using either a wet-bath simulator, or an AlcoCal^® dry-gas standard. Automatic, security-protected procedure.

Display

► LCD graphics, dimensions 45mm x 21mm, 128 x 64 pixels, with backlighting.

Audible Beeper

► Gives auxiliary warning messages.

Microcontroller

► H8/3664.

Memory

► The last test is stored in memory, for later recall if required.

Warm-up time

► The instrument is not heated, so there is no warm-up time - at any ambient temperature.

Disposable Mouthpiece

► Simple disposable 'pressure' tube, the same as used with the S-D2/S-L2.

Radio Frequency Immunity

► Exceeds requirements of EN 50081-1 :1992 (emission) and EN 50082-1 : 1997 (immunity)

Shock/Vibration

► Meets IEC 68-2-27 Part 2.1 Test EA: and IEC 68-2-6 Part 2.1 Test FC.

Case Construction

► Impact resistant ABS.

Software Configuration

► Various software settings may be configured by Lion or the local Distributor using an external PC and Config-500.

Such as:

► alcohol units

► blood:breath ratio

► auto-off time

► breath discard volume

Dimensions

► 125mm x 654mm x 15mm.

Weight

► Approximately 140g, including batteries.
