• Page 7: Principle Of Operation

  2: Principle of Operation ® The lion alcolmeter SD-400 uses an electrochemical fuel cell sensor to measure the concentration of alcohol vapour in the subject’s expired breath; a measured amount of which is drawn from the mouthpiece into the fuel cell by means of the sampling system.

  ® lion alcolmeter SD-400 User Handbook [v7] 4. Subject Breath Test The Breath Test Procedure: Step-by-Step Preliminary Questions Ensure the subject has taken nothing by mouth for at least 15 minutes, and not smoked for at least 2 minutes. If necessary, wait.

  Automatic Switch Off If the SD-400 is left switched on but not used, after a pre-set time it will switch itself off automatically. Before doing so it emits a series of high-pitched beeps. To cancel auto-power down at this time, press and hold down the On/Off (1-0) switch until two beeps are heard.

  User Handbook [v7] 5. Using the SD-400 with a Printer The SD-400 can also be used with a small, portable thermal printer (Able Ap863), to generate a permanent record of each breath test. This printout shows the instrument serial number, the dates of its last calibration and check;…

• Page 16
  Every time a breath test is carried out, a four-digit sequential number is printed automatically on the test record. This number is set to 0000 before dispatch of the instrument from Lion, and can then only be reset by Lion or a local Lion distributor.

  ® lion alcolmeter SD-400 User Handbook [v7] Rechargeable Power Unit A rechargeable power unit (RPU) is also available. A fully-charged RPU should contain enough power for at least 1,200 breath tests, in continuous operation. Mains and 12volt DC chargers are available.

• Page 19: Clock And Calendar

  In each case, use B or D to adjust this value, then C to enter and move to the next. 3. When all five periods have been set, the SD-400 displays the new time and date; then it switches itself off. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any inaccuracy in the time or date settings has no effect on breath sampling or the accuracy of alcohol measurement.

  Lion mouthpieces and/or sampling cups, or as produced by a Lion approved supplier. DO.. use a clean Lion mouthpiece for each subject test. DO.. ensure the mouthpiece is properly attached and locked in place between the 400’s two upright mouthpiece locators.

  If you think it may be blocked or restricted in some way then hand the instrument to a Supervisor.for checking. DON’T.. use other than the Lion mouthpieces. These have been carefully designed and are specifically manufactured for use with this instrument. DON’T..

• Page 22: Calibration Checks And Adjustment

  ® lion alcolmeter SD-400 User Handbook [v7] 9. Calibration Checks and Adjustment Background The sensitivity of fuel cell to alcohol vapour changes slowly with time. Therefore, to ensure continued optimum instrument operation, it is necessary to CHECK its accuracy at regular intervals, and to carry out an appropriate ADJUSTMENT when necessary.

• Page 23
  Provided it is within certain limits, the actual value of the standard is not critical, but it must of course be known. NOTE: a wet bath simulator may also be used for either process: please contact Lion for relevant information, if required. ® Two types of AlcoCal standard are available: …
• Page 24
  ® lion alcolmeter SD-400 User Handbook [v7] ® AlcoCal Standards and Atmospheric Pressure Effects The level of alcohol in a subject’s breath is completely unaffected by changes in atmospheric pressure; the information below applies ® only to the alcohol concentration in the AlcoCal standard.

  15 – 30°C. Calibration CHECKING ® This procedure must be carried out when both the AlcoCal and the SD-400 are at room temperature in the range 15 – 30°C: ® Prepare the AlcoCal Standard ® Note the value of the AlcoCal…

  First, ensure this has not been used at all in the last hour. Now put it into its Calibration Check Mode. This ensures the SD-400 is in its correct temperature range; sets up the digital display for use in this function; and stores the check readings in a separate memory to that used for subject tests.

• Page 27: Calibration Adjustment

  READY light to come on, then repeat the Calibration Check procedure. If the reading is still outside the acceptable range, the instrument requires Calibration Adjustment. Calibration ADJUSTMENT First, you will also need a Dongle electronic key to put the SD-400 into Calibration Adjustment Mode.

  After about five seconds, but with vapour still flowing, press and release C: this takes a sample of the vapour into the SD-400. Now release the cylinder control to stop gas flow.

  This is relevant in the instrument checking and calibration functions. Like any other breath instrument, though it may be read in blood ® alcohol units, the lion alcolmeter SD-400 measures the concentration of alcohol in the expired breath. Having made this analysis it is then possible to report the result in breath alcohol concentration units (BrAC).
