The Alco-Sensor^® VXL is available with a docking station and impact printer. The Alco-Sensor^® VXL is programmed to prompt the operator through a step-by-step test sequence that 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 protocols (U.S. DOT, DOE, NRC and non-regulated testing) and basic law enforcement protocols. Customized jurisdictional applications are available upon request.

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.
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. The instrument is capable (with custom software setup) of performing analysis when even the most extreme blood alcohol levels found in living humans are encountered. As well, custom software setup allows the instrument to report results in most units of measure used in breath alcohol testing around the world.
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 must be at, or between, 0 and 50 degrees C.
	Ambient Temperature	As long as the instrument is at temperature, the instrument can be used at, or between, ambient temperatures of -20 to 70 degrees C.
	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
	Installation	Lever and set in the lighted mouthpiece guide
Visual Output
	Display	Multi-color backlit graphic LCD
	LED	Side viewable LED indicates blow condition and warnings.
Audio Output
	Beeper	Audible tone to support graphical messaging system.
Data Storage
	Number of Tests	More than 7,000 test memory for a basic test record.
Power Options
	Disposable Battery	4 x 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries
	Rechargeable Battery	4 x AA NiMH rechargeable cells
	Wall Power	Power module - unlimited # of tests
Case Construction
	ABS	Rugged casing with rubber over-molding protects instrument and internal components.
Size, Shape and Weight
	Dimensions	7.5” x 4.0” x 2.25”
	Weight	12 oz (343 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.
	Passive Testing	Manual or Automatic sampling capabilities for passive alcohol detection.
	Headspace Sampling	Capable of measuring the headspace over a liquid to determine if alcohol might be present in the solution.
Security
	Password	Configurable software allows password protection as an option.
Options
	Barometer	The optional on-board barometer offers a simple way to determine the most accurate dry gas accuracy checks and calibrations.
	Bluetooth	The optional on-board Bluetooth option offers wireless communication capabilities.
	Printers	Serial thermal and impact printer options exist for interface to the ASVXL.
	Software	Alco-Sensor V Accelerator
