Calibration of an FC compares its internal settings
to a known alcohol standard, thereby providing it
with the baseline from which it can accurately cal-
culate the subject’s alcohol level.
You can use most available BAC levels of gas or
solution to calibrate your FC20, however, most
commonly used are: .100, .080 or .040 BAC.
The FC20 must be between 67º and 100º to cali-
brate. (19° - 37° C)
Lifeloc recommends you calibrate your FC20:
Once every 12 months, regardless of how many
tests you have performed;
OR, after two failed Calibration Checks;
OR, at intervals specified by your Internal Policies,
Quality Assurance Plan, or State Regulations.
A Calibration Check simply verifies the FC20 was
calibrated correctly and is within the acceptable
accuracy range. (Commonly called “External Cali-
bration Check”, “Accuracy Check”, “Cal Check”, or
“Verification”).
Lifeloc recommends you check your FC20:
Once every 30 days;
OR, at intervals specified by your Internal Policies,
Quality Assurance Plan, or State Regulations.
