EnviteC AlcoQuant 6020 plus Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The EnviteC AlcoQuant 6020 plus is an advanced breath alcohol analyzer designed for accurate and reliable measurements. It features an electrochemical sensor (E-100) specifically calibrated to detect alcohol, minimizing interference from other substances like essential oils or tobacco odor.

A built-in microcontroller with evaluation software continuously monitors all internal functions to ensure measurement accuracy. The system facilitates short measurement intervals, allowing for efficient and rapid testing. During the sampling process, the AlcoQuant device precisely controls and records the volume of exhaled air, and is capable of detecting attempts to tamper with the sample.
