Introduction:

The Intox EC/IR II is a transportable, bench-top instrument featuring fuel cell integration analysis combined with real-time analytical advantages of infrared technology.

Unique Features:

The sampling system in the Intox EC/IR II utilizes advantages of both electrochemical sensor (EC) and infrared sensor (IR) technology. The Infrared system is capable of measuring both alcohol and carbon dioxide concentrations in the breath. Software settings and test database are monitored to insure their integrity. The instrument also contains advanced radio frequency interference immunity and detection, automatic accuracy checks and calibrations using internal gas tank or external simulator (recirculation for wet bath use), self-diagnostic capabilities, an easy to read 256 x 32 pixel graphic vacuum fluorescent display and is capable of remote diagnostics along with centralized data collection using optional IntoxNet software.

Approvals
	NHTSA	Listed on the Conforming Products List for Evidential Breath Measurement Devices.
Analytical System
	Electrochemical Sensor (Fuel Cell)	Select sensor, manufactured to Intoximeters exacting specifications for accuracy, repeatability and long life.
	Dual Wavelength Infrared Analyzer	Two wavelengths are used to track ethanol and carbon dioxide signatures of the provided sample.
Measurement Range
	0.000 to 0.440 g/210L	The off the shelf instrument is designed to offer a range of results that our customers commonly encounter when performing breath alcohol testing. Custom ranges, and results reported in a most units of measure are available upon request.
Accuracy and Precision
	Highly accurate and precise evidential grade results	Intoximeters fuel cell based instruments set the industry standard for accuracy and precision. These precise and linear devices offer consistent output that results in evidentiary grade analysis.
Sensor Selectivity
	Highly specific for alcohol	Fuel Cell sensors are sought after for their specificity to alcohol.
Sampling Method
	Flow, Volume, Breath Drop	Instruments running the standard software require a consistent flow, a minimum volume and then a drop in flow before sampling a deep lung breath. Alternate sample capture algorithms are available in customized programs.
Testing Environment
	Instrument Temperature	The temperature of the instrument is self regulated and monitored. If the temperature is determined to be outside of proper analysis limits, testing will be suspended until conditions are optimal.
	Ambient Temperature	As long as the instrument is at temperature, the instrument can be used. In environments where temperatures are between 0 and 50 degrees C the off-the-shelf instrument will be able to maintain its required temperature to perform tests. Broader temperature ranges can be met with optional hardware.
	Humidity	10% to 100% relative humidity (The instrument is not designed to be used under water.)
	Ambient Pressure	600 mbar to 1400 mbar; 450 mmHg [0 °C] to 1050 in mmHg [0 °C]
Mouthpiece
	Style	One-way check valve mouthpiece
	Installation	The instrument's breath tube is designed to accept several Intoximeters-produced mouthpieces. These mouthpieces have been tested and have shown to operate properly with this instrumentation. Because imporperly designed mouthpieces can affect the instrument's accuracy, we would suggest only using Intoximeters, Inc. mouthpieces.
Data Input
	Keyboard	Standard - PS2 QWERTY mini keyboard. Full size PS2 or USB keyboards available. AZERTY and other keyboard configurations available with custom software.
	Magnetic Stripe	Optional peripheral 2 or 3 track reader is supported by custom software
	Barcode	Optional peripheral 2D PDF 417 barcode reader is available with custom software
	SmartCard	Optional peripheral SmartCard reader is available with custom software
	GPS	Optional peripheral GPS reader is available with custom software
Visual Output
	Instrument Display	Two line, high visibility Vacuum Fluorescent Display
Audio Output
	Beeper	Audible tone to support graphical messaging system
Data Output
	Printer	Internal thermal printer or capable of interfacing with optional serial, parallel or USB printers
	Serial	Up to 2 serial ports on board. Optional software available to allow upload of test records.
	Parallel	One parallel port on board
	Modem	On board modem optional
	USB	With the optional add on USB/Ethernet Enhancement Module, the Intox EC/IR II is capable of supporting seven USB host ports and one Ethernet port
	Ethernet	The optional add on USB/Ethernet Enhancement Module offers this functionality. Optional, off-the-shelf periperal serial to Ethernet adapters can provide Ethernet functionality without the cost of the USB connectivity.
Data Storage
	Number of Tests	More than 4,000 test memory for a test record with an average set of operator, subject and incident data entry attached
	Waveform Storage	Capable of storage of sensor waveform data available in custom software
Power Options
	Power	110V AC 220V AC 12 V DC
Case Construction
	Aluminum Sheet	Rugged casing protects instrument and internal components
Size, Shape and Weight
	Dimensions	7.125” x 18.75” x 14.5”
	Weight	15.5 lbs (7,030 grams)
Measurement Types
	Automatic Direct Breath	Auto sampling of subjects deep lung breath samples.
	Manual Direct Breath	Manual sampling option for subjects who cannot meet the minimum flow and volume requirements of the instrument.
Security
	Password	Configurable software allows password protection as an option
Options
	Barometer	An optional on board barometer simplifies the use of dry gas standards
	Dry Gas Pressure Sensor	An optional tank pressure sensor allows the operator to check the remaining pressure in an attached dry gas standard
	USB Host	An optional Enhancement Module provides multi port USB host connectivity
	Ethernet	Optional off-the-shelf serial to Ethernet adapters offer Ethernet connectivity. The optional Enhancement Module offers Ethernet connectivity with USB host connectivity. Optionally, the Intox EC/IR II offers software that transmits encrypted data and thus provides security when sending test records over the public internet.
	2D Barcode Reader	Serial or USB interface to periperal three-track 2D barcode reader (PDF417) is available
	Magnetic Stripe Reader	Serial or USB interface to peripheral three-track magnetic card reader is available
	Desktop Printer	The Intox EC/IR II is compatible with a variety of serial or USB laser printers
