Drager Alcotest 7510
The Drager Alcotest 7510 is a compact and robust handheld breath alcohol measuring instrument, especially designed for advanced screening applications. Ideal for use by police as well as in commerce and industry as an alcohol screening device, it can also be used for evidential testing purposes, subject to relevant local and market sector approvals.
Hygienic, easy to use and providing fast, accurate and reliable results in an easy to read format, it can be easily adapted to meet different international regulations and guidelines. Flexible data management featuring a large data memory and easy data transfer to a mobile printer or PC, this intuitive system can also be used with GPS and Li-Ion battery technology.
Ergonomic design
The device has a simple, three button operation and is designed for ambidextrous, single-handed use. Housed in a non-slip rubber mantle complete with wrist strap for added security, it features
a large, high resolution, monochrome graphic display and multi-lingual text. Designed with different environments in mind, it also incorporates an innovative transflective display to ensure that it can be read easily in bright sunlight.
Advanced technology
Using the latest Drager sensor technology, the Drager Alcotest 7510 ensures fast, precise measurements. A built-in heating element controls the effects of condensation and ensures, by regulating the temperature of the fuel cell, quick measurements even at low temperatures. Auto matically excluding cross sensitivity to other substances, and eliminating the possibility of breath sample manipulation, it provides an alcohol specific result time after time. A modified sampling unit, driven by a Piezo motor, enables the unit to signal if alcohol is present in the mouth and, in that event, the test should be retaken.
Easy to use
With minimal waiting time at start up and automatic sampling and calibration processes, this battery powered instrument is fast and easy to use. All measurements are controlled via a single
push button, with two up and down keys making menu navigation both quick and simple. The backlit display provides clear, plain text messages even in poor light conditions and three light emitting diodes (LEDs) in red, yellow or green support the information shown on the display.
Hygienic and safe
The position of the disposable mouthpiece and the moulded hand grip automatically provide a safe, hygienic distance between you and the subject. The mouthpieces incorporate a special spacer to prevent the subject’s lips from coming into contact with either the instrument or you. Designed for maximum hygiene, a special mouthpiece ejection system initiates quick and simple mouthpiece ejection, without you needing to come into contact with it, and also prevents accidental ejection whilst in use. Where, for instance, you suspect that alcohol may be present in a vehicle, or where the subject is incapable or unwilling to take the test, a passive sampling measurement can also be selected.
Data management
Offering comprehensive data management, the Drager Alcotest 7510 is able to capture and store a wealth of information. Using pick lists or free text, the unit can be customised to suit specific needs. Amongst others, for example, calibration intervals, the vehicle type and registration, the name of the operator and the location and reason for measurement can all be logged – the options are endless. Together with these entries, the test result, a unique reference number and the time and date can all be stored.
Powerful ally
Offered with either alkali or rechargeable batteries, the Drager Alcotest 7510 can also be supplied with the latest, high capacity Li-Ion battery technology for multiple, repetitive applications such as those required at check points. For maximum flexibility, a wide range of charging and charging/downloading cradles are available for wall, vehicle or desk mounting applications.
True flexibility
Ready for immediate use in any location, the Drager Alcotest 7510 is suitable for use in temperatures from -10 °C to +50 °C and, when fitted with an absolute pressure sensor, the device will automatically compensate for atmospheric pressure during dry gas calibration. Test results can be sent wirelessly to the Drager Mobile Printer or, for fast, secure downloads, the device can be connected to a PC. Other optional accessories include a GPS module to allow positional coordinates to be recorded and used for future statistical analysis, together with rugged carry cases, belt bags and storage racks for multiple devices.
NOTE: This product has an option for data input via keyboard and printer, which requires that feature to be switched on - both within the unit itself and the printer. You will be contacted after purchase of the Alcotest 7510 to discuss this data option. Also - please note - as standard, this product requires calibration prior to despatch. As such, delivery times may vary.
