Key
Features
- Better linear accuracy: away from the point of
calibration
- Less chance of getting false positives: from
interfering substances such as keytones, which can be seen in
conditions such as diabetes or people on fad diets
- Improved sensor life: – The PT Core
sensor is designed to be robust and last for thousands of tests in
fields such as Law Enforcement
- Easy-to-Read LCD Display: The AlcoHAWK
PT500 offers a large, easy-to-read LCD display to make the unit the
most informative and understandable AlcoHAWK Series product on the
market.
- Adjustable Blowing Time: The AlcoHAWK PT500 is
the first AlcoHAWK that allows you to control the blowing time. The
blowing time may be adjusted for testing subjects with poor lung
capacity, such as a smoker, or for testing subjects with a large
lung capacity, such as a high-endurance runner. This makes the
AlcoHAWK PT500 ideal for accurate and reliable testing of a variety
of individuals. The AlcoHAWK PT500's blowing time is adjustable from
3 to 8 seconds.
- Temperature Display: The AlcoHAWK
PT500 constantly displays the ambient temperature during use to help
you operate the unit during its optimal temperature range of 50° -
104° F (10° - 40° C).
- Warning Level Indicator: The
AlcoHAWK PT500 features an audible and visual warning when a
subject's BAC surpasses the adjustable BAC alarm
point.
- Pressure Scan Sensor: Ensures that the user
blows with enough force to start a test and also ensures that they
continue to blow through the unit throughout the entire
test.
- Automatic Pump: Simple one button sampling with
no manual activation of pump required.
