OPER/o.TING PROCEDURE. CMI/MPH INTOXILYZER 5000

OPERATING PROCEDURE

The mucous lining of the mouth cavity and nasal passages stores alcohol for·some time after a person consumes alcohol.

Normal body processes eliminate residual mouth alcohol within approximately 15 minutes .• ".Therefore; obse.rve the subject for at least 15 minutes before performing a test.

During the observation time, the sUbject may not smoke, eat, drink, or introduce-any substance into his/her'mouth.

Furthermore, if the subject regurgitates, note the time and delay starting a breath test for at least 15 minutes.

Thepositions of the ,Mode selection sw~tchesdetermine the order of operations carried out by the instrument as well as the messages· and commands, that will appear on the display.

(See

."MODE SELECTION SWITCHES ," page 17-23.) For example S2 and S3

"on" and Sl "off" places the instrument in the ABA (Air Blank,

Breath Test, Air Blank) mode' sequence.

. In other words, the instrument automatically purges the sample chamber (Air Blank), analyzes the breath, sample (Breath Test), and again. purges the sample chamber (Air Blank).

.

Following is the order of messages and commands given by the display when the instrument is set in the ABA mode sequence.

To conduct a breath test, simply respond to the displayed messages and commands as indicated in the right column."

CONTROL·CHECK

Althoughthe Intoxilyzer 5000 Series breath analysis instrument is permanently calibrated, some installations may require periodic checksj To check the instruments' calibration against a standard alcohol solution,CMI recommends using the TOXITESTII

'rM

Model alcohol brea:th simulator (or its equivalent).

You can purchase the TOXITEST II simulator by ordering part # 014024.

(See·· "~CCESSORIES,

II page 61).

Note - A calibration check will be displayed on the instrument as

"Control Test .##1."

Following is the standard procedure for attaching the TOXITEST II simu1atot to the Intoxi1yzer 5000 Series instrument and for performing a control check.

For a detailed description of how to operate the simulator, refer to the instructions accompanying the unit.

1.

During a control check, the instrument's pump draws air through the simulator; consequently, a tightly sealed simulator is essential.

After filling the simulator's container with a standard alcohol solution, check for air leaks by blowing into the simulator's "AIR IN" port while plugging the "VAPOR OUT" port.

You should note a large difference in pressure and bubbles in the simulator's solution.

2.

Plug in the simulator's power cord, turn the "POWER" switch to the ON position, and wait until the solution temperature is 34 degrees C ±O.2 degrees C ("READY" light "on").

You can verify the temperature by reading the thermometer located next to the "READY" light.

The TOXITEST II model alcohol breath simulator maintains the solution temperature at 34 degrees C+O.2 degrees C.

If the solution temperature falls below 34 degrees C, the "READY" indicator light will go out momentarily.

At no time shall the solution temperature fall more than 0.2 degrees C below the nominal temperature of 34 degrees C.

Available for purchase is an optional bracket that holds the simulator and mounts to the side of the instrument.

order part #440308: TOXITEST II Simulator Bracket.

(See

"ACCESSORIES," page 61.) To attach the bracket, loosen the four simulator bracket screws on the side of the instrument and slide the bracket in place, fitting the screws into the bracket's slots.

Make sure the lock washers contact the outside surface of the bracket; then tighten the screws.

(See IIACCESSORIES," page 61.) To attach the bracket, loosen the four simulator 'bracket screws on the side of the instrument and slide the bracket in place, .

fitting the screws into the bracket's slots . . The attached end of the bracket's metal tab should be "up." Make sure the lock washers contact the outside surface of the bracket; then tighten the screws.

Position the simulator in the large hole of the bracket; the metal tab 'will secure the simulator in place.

Use 1/4 inch flexible tubing to connect the outlet port of the simulator to the SIMULATOR VAPOR port of the instrument.

To avoid filling the sample chamber with water, be careful not to connect the inlet port of the simulatoi to the instrument.

Use the shortest section of tubing . possible to reduce the effects of condensation.

5.

If your instrument is equipped with,the Vapor Recirculation option, connect your'wet bath simulator to the instrument as described above.

Next, use 1/4 .

RETURN port on the back of the instrument.

Use the shortest section of tubing possible.

Do ll.Q.t.

connect the inlet port of the simulator to the instrument if the 'ports on the back of the instrument are labeled PUMP EXHAUST/SAMPLE CAPTURE or

Three of thef1ve possible mode sequences controlled by the

Mod'e Selection. switches a'llow you to check calibration while running a breath test.

For example, if Sland 53 are "on" and 52 is " o ff," the mode sequence, is ABACA (Air Blank,

Breath Test, Air Blank, check, Air Blank).

When the instrument arrives at the control check operation, a valve closes off air entry through the breath tube and opens up air entry through the simulator.

Next, the instrument's pump fills the sample chamber with the standard alcohol vapor contained in the simulator, and the instrument performs a control check.

The control check value appears on the display and on the evidence card released at the end of the test sequence.

After the instrument completes the control check, a valve closes off air entry through the simulator and reopens air entry through the breath tube.

Therefore, you can leave the simulator attached to the instrument while it is performing an operation other than a control check.

S9 of the Mode selection switches allows you to check the instrument's calibration against a standard alcohol solution while not running a breath test.

When 59 is activated, the instrument carries out the operations ACACACACACA (Air

Blank, control check, Air Blank~ ...

)~ Also See 57 switch function.
