Calibration
It is recommended that calibration be done indoors, in a service facility.
Do not force a misaligned cable connector into place.
Disconnect the simulator power immediately if solution overheats considerably beyond
34 °C.
To calibrate a breath alcohol tester:
1. Switch on the simulator.
The LCD display illuminates and the simulator beeps.
The propeller rotates and the heating element activates.
„C
" is displayed until solution reaches 32 °C, wherein the LCD screen displays ac-
OLD
tual solution temperature.
The simulator maintains solution at a constant 34 °C ± 0.02 °C.
Solution heat-up takes about 10 minutes. When 34 °C ± 0.02 °C is displayed, the simulator
is ready to provide a breath sample.
2. Use the X-cal 2000 simulator to blow air into the breath alcohol tester that you are calibrat-
ing. There are two ways of doing this:
Manually: take a deep breath and blow for the duration of the breath test sample period.
Mechanically: use a pump-powered air source (Recommended flow rate: 14.4 L/min).
3.4
After use
Disconnect the simulator power after use.
CAUTION
!
Risk of burns!
After disconnecting the X-cal 2000 simulator power, allow 10 to 15 minutes for the
heating element to cool off before detaching the top housing.
Empty out the solution container at the end of each work day.
Store the simulator in an environment of 5 to 40 °C and 10 to 85% RH (Relative humidity).
