Featuring simple, three-button operation, the intuitive Alcotest 6810 provides full text messages via a clear, back-lit LCD graphic display and, in addition, incorporates three different LED colours to provide an immediate visual confirmation of the result.
Eliminating the possibility of breath sample manipulation and offering low blowing resistance, this hand held, ambidextrous instrument emits an audible alarm at the end of the testing process.
Hygienic in use, the patented, secure mouthpiece is easy to both attach and remove and measurements can be taken at the touch of a single button.
Results are shown in Pass, Fail, and Alert and ug/mL as well as mg/L, %o or %, and an efficient datalogger enables 200 events to be stored at any one time.
Once stored, users are able to recall the appropriate test number and display the result as and when required.
For those applications where hard copies are required the unit can also be supplied with a printer.
