Recalibration and service
The AlcoSense Elite 3 and Elite 3 BT uses a fuel cell sensor to measure breath alcohol levels. Depending on the amount of alcohol registered by the sensor after a period of time, it will require recalibration.
We recommend that the breathalyser is calibrated every 6 months. To maintain it to Australian Standards AS3547, calibration every 6 months is required.
