S-D2 Operator’s Manual
consumption of alcohol and a breath test using the
S-D2. This period allows for any “mouth alcohol” to be
dispersed.
MOUTHPIECE
Use a new mouthpiece for every test and insure that the
subject blows through the lipped edge, wide-bored end.
It is strongly recommended that only mouthpieces from
CMI, Inc. be used.
SMOKING
Smoking just prior to a breath test will not influence the
result, but tobacco smoke should not be blown through
a mouthpiece attached to the instrument. Tobacco
smoke could damage the fuel cell.
FOOD AND DRINK
Do not allow the subject to eat or drink before a breath
test. Although this will not generally affect the result of
the analysis, certain cough drops may contain alcohol.
A subject could later claim that the coffee to calm his
nerves was laced with something stronger causing a
high blood alcohol concentration.
STORAGE BETWEEN TESTS
Always store the S-D2 with the ‘SET’ button down.
This will keep the cell discharged so that the instrument
is always ready for a breath test, provided that a
satisfactory READY CHECK was obtained prior to
taking the sample.
Avoid storing the unit in temperature extremes.
