Using the device is about as simple as it gets. Just slide the cover open, put the blow tube in place, follow the on-screen instructions of how long and how strongly to blow, and inspect the results. The breathalyser then tells you if you are under, close to or over the limit.” If a breathalyzer is used outside its operating temperatures you can get erroneous readings due to temperature affecting the quality of the reaction inside the sensor. For your safety and protection AlcoSense Pro will alert you if the unit goes outside its operating range (note the operating temperature is the temperature of the unit, not the surrounding air temperature) of 5°C~40°C. This means that, unlike rival brands, the Pro will never let you perform a test when you could get an unreliable result. Saturation Protection Whilst on this holiday in the Republic of Ireland (where the limit is lower than England), it was necessary to adjusting the settings. This again, was a very simple process. If you’re looking for the ultimate personal breathalyzer – we think you’ve found it. The culmination of 3 years of research and development, the AlcoSense Ultra take accuracy, features and ease of use to a new level. always had one an "elite" and used it whenever in doubt. its surprising how late in the morning you can test yourself and still fail!
Below 0.10 ‰ BAC, LO is displayed meaning either no alcohol or trace alcohol was detected in the sample An AlcoSense Probreathalyser could be the smartestgift you buy this year.The Pro knowsit is in Scotland, knows the limit and can eventell you when you can next drive.It uses a 121mm2 version of the 200mm2“Fuel Cell” sensor used in several UK policeforces. That sounds technical but this machineeven gives you a lesson on how to give a breathsample properly with its BlowCoach mechanism.It doesn’t get any easier than that. — so thereare no excuses for being over the limit." one of the most accurate devices on the market.... if your livelihood is dependent on your driving licence then this could be a very wise investment."Uses similar fuel cell technology as the UK police, so is comparable with theirs with regards to accuracy. See the Top Gear YouTube video as evidence of this.
In December 2013 Road Safety Analysis Ltd, a not-for-profit road safety research company, performed a head to head test of 7 consumer breathalysers vs a Police issue Lion Breathalyser. The test had two elements, one to test the devices head to head in a ‘street’ real world environment and the second part to test the devices head to head in laboratory conditions using Police grade alcohol simulators. The AlcoSense Lite and Elite were both tested and came out highly recommended, the Elite winning hands down over the competition – even against breathalysers twice the price! it was a case i feel ok but slightly different so i just wasn't happy to take the change (never take the chance its not worth it my friend did and even though he wasn't responsible for the road traffic accident because a child was injured both drivers were tested HE failed and now will lose his job ,insurance will be astronomical ,and the stigma that goes with losing your licence through drink driving ,last a lot longer that the one year driving ban and the ten years of heightened insurance premiums .losing your licence it will last a lifetime! Cons: None whatsoever. It would have been nice if the unit was “French NF” compliant, though since 2014 the French authorities have scrapped the fine for not carrying an NF certified breathalyser for an indefinite period. So no great shakes! Breath Sampling Sensors, Sensor Overload Protection, Sensor Purge for Better Accuracy, Temperature CompensationIts accuracy was proven in a demonstration in our office comparing an AlcoSense pro against a correctly calibrated, Home Office-approved breath alcohol simulator. Reassuringly, the Pro passed with flying colours.” When comparing the readings on both units, I am pleased to say that they are reassuringly similar, with the Ultra marginally on the cautious side, which can't be a bad thing. Every AlcoSense™ unit is tested for accuracy three times before leaving our factory. As a result, our quality control is arguably the best in the industry meaning that you can have 100% faith in our products. In December 2014 Diesel Car Magazine performed a group test of 9 consumer breathalysers, the AlcoSense Elite won the group test with the AlcoSense Lite coming in as runner up. Most issues while doing a breath test are caused by either blowing too hard, too soft or not for long enough, and with some products this can also cause inaccurate results. BlowCoach™ is a Patent Pending technology from AlcoSense which makes it simple to do the perfect test every time!
One of the smartest, simplest & most effective car-related gadgets we've had the pleasure of testing. Compact, cool and clear."I have updated this review after now having used the AlcoSense for a while now, and after having received the most helpful clarifications from the AlcoSense Laboratory. My previous “Cons” (“Zero Reading” and see below for explanation) was unfounded as what I perceived as a limitation was in fact a result of complying with BS-EN16280 which has now also been taken as a European wide standard. The Elite 3 uses a colour coded results system and will even alert you when you are near or over your chosen limit which you can set to any of the three limits in place in the UK and Ireland, please see the screen shots below. The AlcoSense Pro features an advanced sampling system to ensure that only deep lung air (the most accurate part of the breath) is measured. It uses advanced sensors to measure the blow pressure, flow rate and volume of breath exhaled and takes a reading when 1 litre of air has been exhaled, ensuring the most accurate sample is always taken. To improve accuracy even further, readings are fine-tuned according to temperature. These sensors also allow the Pro to get clever with BlowCoach™ We tested it [AlcoSense Pro] scientifically (not in the pub, honest) with some control alcohol measured to read just below the UK’s 35ml drink-drive limit. Tested on the sort of super-accurate unit the Police will use at the station for your conviction, we found our test unit [the AlcoSense Pro] read almost exactly the same as the Police device. Verdict:If you drink, buy one. It’s a no-brainer, really." In December 2014 Diesel Car Magazine performed a group test of 9 consumer breathalysers, the AlcoSense Elite won the group test with the AlcoSense Lite coming in a close second.
