  • Page 12: Calibration

    CALIBRATION Calibration of the AlcoHAWK PT500 occurs during manufacturing ® using advanced alcohol simulation equipment. The manufacturer passes known BAC levels through the sensor to set baseline values for testing. During testing, the unit compares users’ breath samples to these baseline values. If the verification determines that the BAC is not consistent with actual BAC levels, a technician calibrates the unit.
