FC10 Breath Alcohol Tester

The FC10 Portable Breath Alcohol Tester is the true workhorse of breathalyzers. Preferred by law enforcement and corrections professionals, the FC10 combines high precision, ease of use and ruggedness with affordability.

One of the deputies said he likes the FC10 better than our current unit because it has a graph that lets the operator know if the suspect is actually blowing into the mouthpiece.

Submitted by: Police Officer from CO

The electronic calibration is very useful in the FC10 model and supports accuracy and validity in field tests!

Submitted by: Police Lieutenant from MN

I really liked the recovery time of the Lifeloc FC10 between tests. The longest I had to wait was about 8 seconds and I didn't have to do anything to the PBT itself. There is no comparison between the Lifeloc and the Alco-Sensor's recovery time. The unit also seemed less susceptible to the cold.

Submitted by: Former Deputy Sheriff from CO

By far the best PBT made, and I have used them all. It is fast, easy to use, and accurate.

Submitted by: Bureau of Investigations Officer from GA

The FC10 unit performed well and received many favorable comments from law enforcement officials. It is the easiest and simplest unit I have seen.

Submitted by: Police Lieutenant from CA

I had a demo unit and had to pry it out of the officer’s hands so that I could return it. It works quickly, easily, and is extremely accurate.

Submitted by: Deputy Sheriff from CO

The DUI officers especially like it because of the speed and ease of operation.
