Alcohol tester SENCOR SCABA40 portable digital breathalyzer, fuel-cell sensor, 0.000–4.000 ‰ BAC, memory 20, 2× mouthpieces

The SENCOR SCABA40 digital portable breathalyzer measures blood alcohol concentration from breath within seconds using a calibrated electrochemical (Fuel Cell) sensor. It offers a measurement range of 0.000–4.000 ‰ BAC with resolution to 0.001 ‰ BAC, selectable units (‰ BAC or mg/L), memory for the last 20 results, and a two-color digital display to indicate when a preset alarm threshold is exceeded. The device is compact, battery-powered and comes with two spare mouthpieces and a user manual.

Advantages

The professional pre-calibrated fuel cell sensor provides greater accuracy than semiconductor alternatives and reduces the risk of false negatives due to residual alcohol. The breathalyzer includes automatic self-cleaning, acoustic and optical signaling, and automatic shutdown when idle. It records up to 20 measurements and completes each test in approximately 5–7 seconds.

Use the unit selection and alarm-setting functions to choose between ‰ BAC or mg/L and to set the desired alarm threshold.

Usage recommendations

To obtain reliable readings, wait at least 15 minutes after drinking, smoking or eating before testing and use a new or clean mouthpiece for each subject. Follow the user manual for calibration intervals and maintenance. Store the device in a dry environment and replace the battery as needed.
