What is Alcotest®?
Alcotest® units are devices that test the amount of alcohol on human breath, they are usually used to determine whether the subject consumed too much alcohol to safely control. Alcotest® is made by DRAGE, a family company based in Germany. There are many different ALCOTEST® units, including 6810, 7110 and 7510, and all all technologies designed to accurately determine the amount of alcohol on the body. 6810 and 7510 are a hand unit and 7110 is a larger and more accurate unit.
Federal motor safety management, part of the US Department of Transport, requires that alcohol breath tests are carried out after any car accident caused by poor performance, as well as random tests or suspicion tests. The level of alcohol present in the breath of a person is measured, with all over 0.04 percent considered dangerous to control. Generally, the test will have to secretly have to see the device to test the level of alcohol on the Dechu.
models 6810 and 7510 are hand -hand units, with ergonomic design that allows them to run people with right and left hand. These units have one function and as such require only three buttons, "up", "down" and "OK" button. They have a removable tube that protrudes horizontally from the top of the device. After reading the reading, the tube can be replaced to ensure hygienic safety. There is also a stopper on these devices that prevents contact of the subject's mouth with the hand of the tester.
units do not require a large amount of breath to obtain reading, which can help with subjects with lower volume of respiratory such as smokers. Various ALCOTEST® hand units have different functions. For example, 6810 has a test memory, so the user can record up to 250 test results. 7510 has a global positioning module (GPS), so users can determine the location of all the tests they perform.
unityKa Alcotest® 7110, albeit larger than its hand counterparts, is the only available breath tester to be approved by the Supreme Court's decision. It is equipped with infrared and electrochemical sensors, giving users two ways to test alcohol. The infrared sensor is not influenced by any other substance on the breath of the subject that could distort the test results, and the electrochemical sensor is not affected by the surrounding alcohol pairs. After pressing the “Start” button, each testing step is performed automatically or accompanied by thorough instructions displayed on the screen screen.
