The RBT VXL features the Alco-Sensor® VXL, the latest in the trusted line of Alco-Sensor® evidential grade handheld breath testing instruments. This kit consists of an Alco-Sensor VXL instrument, a docking station, a keyboard and a printer. The Alco-Sensor VXL is programmed to prompt the operator through a simple, step-by-step test sequence that:
allows for data entry of subject, operator and other test information through the keyboard
automatically collects and analyzes a breath sample
produces a displayed, printed and stored-to-memory test record
The instrument can be programmed to support a variety of different test protocols. Off the shelf programs include workplace alcohol testing protocols (U.S. DOT, DOE, NRC and unregulated testing) and basic law enforcement testing protocols.
Analytical System | Utilizes an Intoximeters electrochemical fuel cell sensor which generates an electrical response that is proportional to the Breath Alcohol Concentration in the provided, fixed volume sample. The fuel sensor is highly selective for alcohol. It does not respond to acetone or other substances found in the human breath after a fifteen minute deprivation period. | |
