Replaceable Pre-calibrated Sensor Module
New and more advanced breathalyzers such as AlcoMate Prestige
and Alcomate AL7000 are equip with a technology that allows users
an easy access and replacement of the sensor module in the field,
without the need to send the device to factory or a service center
for routine (every 6 months) calibration service.
There are many advantages to this new technology that can be
summarized as followings
Maximize your tester readiness
In the field and specially on board of vessels heading to a US
port, having an spare sensor give a extended life to your device
as well as complying with the law and port inspection.
Avoid the cost of shipping back and forth
Calibration of a breathalyzers can take anywhere from 5 to 10
days. adding the two way shipping times, figure you will be without
it for 15 to 20 days.
Replace the sensor with a New one
rather than re-calibrating the existing sensor over and over.
A semiconductor sensor operates based on its outer surface sensitivity
to alcohol through changes that occur in its conductivity when
exposed to alcohol. All sensor tend to build up contaminants and
at times, their charactristic curve may drift too far away from
a range of recovery and they must be replaced at additional costs.
Save time and time too
Do it your self in minutes, and don't risk the time of being without
your breathalyzer. |
