3.3 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.
„COLD“ is displayed until solution reaches 32 °C, wherein the LCD screen displays ac-
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 r
eady 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.
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).
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.
