STEP 7 – Analysis and Alcohol Reading
The fuel cell sensor in the lion alcolmeter® 700, along with its controlling
electronics and software based systems, now determine the alcohol level
in the specimen. The result is then displayed, along with the time and
date when that specimen was actually taken.
In sniffer mode the instrument will state whether alcohol was present
(Fail) or not (Pass) at the end of the analysis stage only.
The indication lights will show whether the sample is above or below a
configured level. This may be different for both the cup test and the
mouthpiece test.
STEP 8 – Prepare for the next test
Following the successful completion of the mouthpiece test, remove and
discard the mouthpiece, and the wrapper. Do not reuse the mouthpiece,
except in the case of a repeat blow by the same subject for the same
specimen.
The cup does not need to be removed unless the operator has decided to
replace it with a new cup or a mouthpiece.
STEP 9 – Test next subject or switch off
Once the result has been shown it is possible to move to the next test by
pressing the Action Button (AB), or waiting for two minutes. If the
operator wants the back light back on they can do this by pressing one of
the smaller buttons.
The instrument will continue in the selected mode, until the operator
switches the instrument off, by pressing and holding the Action Button
(AB), or moving back from the ready screen by pressing the Down Button
(DB).
