Calibration

Lifeloc provides all the supplies and expertise required to keep your breath alcohol testers accurate at all times. Our models are known for their ease of calibration and thoughtful design which assists the operator with the calibration and calibration check process.

Understand the process
Calibration adjusts the internal settings of your alcohol tester to the standard you give it. It is important that the instructions are followed precisely to maintain instrument's accuracy.

Calibration is a two-step process. Every calibration should be followed by a calibration check to make certain your unit calibrated properly. All these procedures are available in greater detail in your manual.

Read your operations manual or program guidelines
Calibrations can be performed in the field quickly and easily on all Lifeloc fuel cell instruments. The process is described in detail in the operations manual provided with instrument.

Your organization may have particular program guidelines that specify who may or may not calibrate the unit based upon employee designation, training, etc. Lifeloc recommends that you calibrate your instrument annually but your organization may have additional internal requirements that you will need to adhere to.

If your unit is used under Department of Transportation guidelines Lifeloc has DOT approved QAP's to guide you through the process.

Calibration Methods
All Lifeloc fuel cell alcohol testers may be calibrated with either Dry Gas or Wet Bath standards. Each method is capable of calibrating your Lifeloc breath alcohol tester to the highest standards.

Dry Gas is highly portable for field use. Initial cost is lower but it cannot be transported by plane in your luggage, and shipment costs are higher due to hazardous material fees.

Wet bath simulators require a power outlet and as such are less portable. Wet bath kits have a higher initial cost due to the price of the simulator.

We provide extensive assistance and support for both methods of calibration including complete kits to make ordering fast and easy.

Calibration Supplies
Lifeloc introduced the lightweight economical 34-liter dry gas tank and continues to provide all the supplies you need including dry gas standards, wet bath solution, calibration pumps and mouthpieces. Our supplies are of the highest quality and available for immediate shipping.
