1: Introduction
The lion alcolmeter
®
SD-400 is a hand-held, breath alcohol
analyser for use in traffic law enforcement, medical and industrial
safety applications. The instrument is easy-to-use, and allows a
complete breath test to be completed in about one minute.
The standard instrument version has a 500-test memory. This
records the date, time and result of each test, from where it can be
downloaded to a PC using software available from Lion.
This handbook is written for the lion alcolmeter
®
SD-400 as it is
most commonly used. However, because many of its operating
functions are configurable, it is not possible to cover all the
permutations of method operation in this handbook. Information on
the use of these additional features is available from Lion.
This handbook explains the following aspects of the instrument, so
please read it carefully:
basic principles of operation
how to run a breath test
interpretation of results
calibration checking
calibration adjustment
care and basic maintenance
