The AlcoMate® Premium alcohol tester is an alternative to the TS200 that uses more affordable oxide semiconductor alcohol sensors in combination with PRISM Technology. The Premium is a great selection for both professional and personal users alike. With the unique Easy-Replace Sensor Panel (SM7000), module replacement takes just a few seconds!
The Solution: Pre-Calibrated Replaceable Sensor Modules
The AlcoMate® Premium breathalyzer combines professional reliability with extremely easy-to-use one-button operation. You can count on the Premium breathalyzer to serve all your personal and/or professional alcohol breath testing needs, as it is DOT approved for law-enforcement grade accuracy and US Coast Guard Approved to satisfy the requirements of all marine vessels in US waters to have a breathalyzer-on-board.
The Problem With Re-Calibration
One of the most important things to understand when using a breath alcohol tester is that all typical breath alcohol sensors require periodic re-calibration in order to maintain accuracy. It is inherent to alcohol sensing technology, much like gasoline engines in cars require oil changes in order to function properly. Most breathalyzers have to be physically mailed to a service center along with a fee to get this re-calibration done, and you will be without your breath alcohol tester until the service is done. Even if re-calibration is done on schedule, the service does not restore any wear on the alcohol sensor, and eventually your breathalyzer will fail completely due to the sensor breaking down.
