VERIFICATION AND CALIBRATION
Calibration of the AlcoHAWK ® Elite occurs during manufacturing
using advanced alcohol simulation equipment. The manufacturer
passes known BAC levels through the sensor to set baseline values
for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples
to these baseline values. If the verification determines that the BAC is
not consistent with actual BAC levels, a technician calibrates the unit.
The accuracy of breath alcohol testers can fluctuate after six to twelve
months, depending on frequency of use and operating conditions. We
recommend sending the unit in for calibration after 200 tests have
been performed, or every six to twelve months if less than 200
tests have been performed.
If the unit is providing inconsistent results, unusually high or low read-
ings, or no readings at all, a professional needs to recalibrate the unit.
For recalibration or support, please visit www.q3i.com or call 888-399-
1687. During recalibration, a technician will perform a diagnostic check
on the unit and reset the baseline sensor values.
