Do Lifeloc models use fuel cells?
All Lifeloc models are fuel cell instruments. Lifeloc fuel cells are full size sensors of the highest quality available, with exceptionally long life and durability. Few competitive models can make these claims. Q: Are Lifeloc instruments approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for evidential use? A: All Lifeloc models (except LifeGuard) are DOT-approved to the highest evidential standard. They are listed on the official “Conforming Products List (CPL) – Evidential.” Some semi-conductor based devices are “DOT-Approved” models but are only approved for screening purposes and cannot be used in any evidential application. Q: How are Lifeloc instruments calibrated? A: All Lifeloc models are electronically calibrated. Electronic Calibration is a process that can be completed in two minutes or less by an experienced operator. The calibration process on Lifeloc models is menu-driven with industry-unique, “plain English” prompts instead of codes. No disassembly, parts replacement, s
