PAS Vr. Alcohol Screening & Verification System
The PAS Vr is a hand-held, rapid alcohol detection and screening instrument that may be used passively (without a mouthpiece) or actively (with a mouthpiece) to quickly determine the presence of alcohol.
The PAS Vr is a hand-held, rapid alcohol detection and screening instrument using a platinum electrochemical fuel cell sensor of high alcohol specificity, accuracy and stability. Designed to satisfy and meet the rigorous standards of a NHTSA certified Alcohol Screening Device (ASD) when used with a mouthpiece. The PAS Vr may also be used passively (without mouthpiece) to quickly screen large numbers of subjects for the presence of breath alcohol simply by having a subject speak. The user can screen a subject in as little as 15 seconds to determine if alcohol is present on a subject's breath. The PAS Vr can also be used to screen an open container for the presence of alcohol. These functions make the PAS Vr an ideal tool for use at proms, sporting events and other functions.

Instruction Manual
| Product Name | PAS Vr Alcohol Screening & Verification System |
| Function | Combines both direct and passive testing for detecting low levels of alcohol in exhaled breath or the environment. |
| Alcohol Sensor | Platinum Elctrochemical fuel cell generates an electrical current in response to alcohol vapor. |
| Cell Heater | Built-in heater regulates fuel cell temperatur at 104F (40C). |
| Specificity | Fuel cell detects only alcohol. It is unaffected by acteone, paint or glue fumes, foods, confectionary, methane, and practically any other substance likely to be found in the breath. |
| Accuracy | Meets DOT requirements at 0.020% BrAC (0.005). |
| Breath Sample | Pump runs for 5 seconds and draws in a 1 cu. in. (15ml) air sample (nominal figures). |
| Display | Color-coded 9-element LED bargraph and numeric display of alcohol level. |
| Peak Reading | 2-10 seconds at 104F (40C). Longer at lower temperatures unless fuel cell heater is on. |
| Recovery Time | A few seconds to minutes after a positive reading; longer if fuel cell is overloaded. No recovery time if no alcohol is detected. |
| Power Supply | 9-volt Alkaline Battery |
| Battery Capacity | Approximately 600 tests. |
| Environmental | Operating temperature range: 0 to 104F (-18 to +40C). The PAS Vr housing is weather resistant. |
