Calibration Tag - Intoximeters Alco-Sensor FST Calibrator's Manual

*Pass Code: A pass code will have to be entered in order to access the calibration function of this
device. Contact your program administrator for further details.
4. While the display shows a flashing CAL, make an airtight connection between the outlet port of the
simulator and the open end of the mouthpiece. Blow into the inlet port of the simulator. If there is
adequate and consistent flow, after several seconds, the device should capture a sample automatically.
Make certain that you continue to provide a sample for at least one or two seconds following the point in
time where the sample has been captured (sample collection is identified by a clicking sound).
5. Detach the device from the simulator and wait until the analysis is complete.
6. The device will display a result in digital format. Record "CAL" on your calibration log.
a) If the result equals the expected value of the alcohol standard (100), then depress the OFF
Button. You will see that each time you depress the OFF Button, the flashing digit moves from
the left most digit of the number to the right. After depressing the button three times, the value
displayed will be accepted as the Calibration Value and will flash three times before the device
will power down.
b) If the result does not match the expected value of the alcohol standard (100), you will
need to adjust the displayed result to the proper value. The result displayed will have the digit
furthest to the left flashing. If the flashing digit is incorrect, press and release the ON button as
many times as it is necessary to cycle the displayed digit to the correct number. When the digit is
correct, press the OFF button to move the flashing highlight to a digit to the right. After you have
adjusted the furthest to the right digit and the OFF Button is depressed, the new calibration value
will be flashed on the display three times before the device will power down.
If you need to adjust this number further, pressing the OFF Button again, while the entire
calibration number is flashing, will provide you this option by displaying the most recently
entered number with the digit furthest to the left flashing. If the calibration value is correct and
you have not pressed the OFF button a second time, after the third flash the new Calibration
value will be accepted.
7. Perform the Accuracy Check procedure to verify the calibration adjustment.
It is essential to verify the calibration. THE RESULTS SHOULD BE WITHIN ± 5mg% OF THE
EXPECTED VALUE OF THE ALCOHOL STANDARD READING.
If the Accuracy Check does not produce 2 consecutive results within +/- 5 mg% of the target value of 100
mg% (95 to 105 mg%), repeat the calibration procedure after waiting several minutes.

6.3 Calibration Tag

According to the Recommended Standards and Procedures of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science
Alcohol Test Committee, the calibration of the Alco-Sensor FST® shall be checked by a qualified Alco-
Sensor FST® calibrator with an alcohol standard at least every 31 days.
