What is a "Pre-Calibrated Replaceable Alcohol Sensor Module"?
AK Solutions is the first breathalyzer company to introduce pre-calibrated replaceable modules to the market. One of the main problems with using breathalyzers in critical applications is that the alcohol sensor, no matter what type, requires periodic re-calibration. Unfortunately, the re-calibration process requires that the breathalyzer be physically mailed or taken to a professional service center, at which point the device must be evaluated and proper steps must be taken for calibration with an expensive simulator system. The process is costly for both consumer and service center, and the delay of processing and shipping back-and-forth can be quite a loss. The Pre-Calibrated Replaceable Alcohol Sensor Module can eliminate the delays and complications of re-calibration by allowing you to simply "snap out" an old module and "snap in" a new module. This way, you can get back to reliable, accurate testing in a matter of seconds!

Introducing PRISM Sensor Technology
With the new AlcoMate Premium, AK Solutions has created the most advanced, accurate and convenient breath testing system available. PRISM Technology provides by far the highest quality replaceable sensor module components using the most rigorous standards of construction, durability and accuracy. The method of exchanging sensor modules is also easier than ever with the Easy-Replace Sensor Panel on the back of the breathalyzer. Now sensor replacement is faster than ever, and literally takes just a few seconds! PRISM Technology is only available with the AlcoMate Premium.

How do I install a Pre-Calibrated Alcohol Sensor Module?
For the AlcoMate Prestige, please take the following steps to install a new sensor module (Click on the images for larger versions):

Prepare your AlcoMate Prestige.	Use a flat, sharp tool to carefully open the top cover.	Lift the breath tube to access the sensor module.
Remove the breath tube. It should remove easily.	Carefully raise the sensor module from the body. Do NOT detach the cable from the body.	Remove the cable from the slot underneath the sensor module.
Prepare a new pre-calibrated sensor module.	Insert the cable into the new sensor. Make sure the blue strip is toward the sensor, as shown.	Replace the sensor module into its original position.
Re-attach the breath tube directly on to the sensor. Make sure the front opening is aligned.	Re-attach the cover on to the top of the body. It should snap in fairly easily.	Ready for Testing!

For the AlcoMate Plus, please take the following steps to install a new sensor module (Click on the images for larger versions):

Prepare your AlcoMate Plus. Make sure it is powered off.	Remove the battery cover.	Remove the batteries.
Using a screwdriver, remove both screws under the battery cover.	Using a screwdriver, remove both screws under the battery cover.	Pull the two tabs (to the left and right of the battery compartment) up from the device.
Pull the two tabs (to the left and right of the battery compartment) up from the device.	Lift up the entire back portion of the device.	Remove the back portion from the device.
Remove the circuit board (with sensor and breath tube attached).	Hold the breath tube where it is attached to the sensor module.	Remove the breath tube from the sensor module. It should lift easily.
Pull the sensor module up from the adapter slot. Be careful.	Prepare a new pre-calibrated sensor module.	Replace the new sensor module into the adapter slot.
Press firmly to make sure that the new sensor module is secured in place.	Re-attach the breath tube, as shown.	Replace the circuit board to its original position.
Snap the back portion of the device back on to the front, securely.	Use a screwdriver to remount the screws.	Replace the batteries.
Finally, replace the battery cover.	Ready for Testing!
