SAF’IR™ Evolution Portable Infrared Breathalyzer for Law Enforcement

R109 995,99

VAT Included
Competency training & certification included.
The SAF’IR™ Evolution is the world’s first handheld evidential breathalyzer to utilize infrared (IR) spectrometry technology. Manufactured by Alcohol Countermeasure Systems (ACS), it is specifically designed for law enforcement to provide court-admissible results in a compact, portable format. 
Key Technical Features:
  • Sensor Technology: Uses an ethanol-specific infrared sensor (9.46 µm wavelength), which eliminates common “false positives” from substances like acetone found in diabetics.
  • Accuracy: Features OIML R 126 international certification for evidential accuracy.
  • Portability: Weighs approximately 600 grams (1.3 lbs) and is small enough for one-handed operation in the field.
  • Testing Speed: Ready to perform a test in less than 30 seconds and provides results in approximately 10 seconds.
  • Memory & Data: Stores over 3,200 time-stamped events in its internal memory.
  • Connectivity: Equipped with Bluetooth for wireless printing and GPS capabilities to record the exact location of each test.

Description

The SAF’IR™ Evolution portable evidential-grade breath alcohol tester developed by Alcohol Countermeasure Systems (ACS) for law enforcement. It is recognized for being the first portable device to utilize infrared (IR) spectrometry—a technology typically reserved for larger, stationary units—allowing it to provide court-admissible results in a mobile format. 
Key Features
  • High Precision IR Technology: Uses ethanol-molecule-selective infrared spectrometry (9.46 µm wavelength) to ensure accuracy and eliminate interference from other substances like acetone.
  • Dual Testing Modes: Capable of active evidential testing (using a mouthpiece) and passive screening, which scans the environment or a subject’s breath without active participation.
  • Wireless Printing: Pairs via Bluetooth with a portable printer to generate immediate, time-stamped evidence in the field.
  • Internal Memory: Stores over 3,200 time-stamped events that can be uploaded to a PC via USB for data management.
  • Rugged Mobility: Designed for comfort and durability in harsh environments, weighing approximately 600 grams.

Features

The SAF’IR™ Evolution portable breathalyser is a high-precision evidential breathalyzer specifically engineered for law enforcement and professional use. It is the industry’s first handheld device to utilize advanced Infrared (IR) spectrometry technology, ensuring results are admissible in court. 

 
Key Features:
  • Advanced Infrared Sensor: Uses 9.46 µm-wavelength infrared spectrometry to identify the specific ethanol molecule, eliminating false positives from substances like acetone or other physiologic interferences.
  • Rapid Analysis: Ready to perform a test in less than 30 seconds, with sample analysis typically completed in under 10 seconds.
  • Multi-Mode Capability: Capable of performing evidential, screening, and passive (environmental) tests on a single device.
  • Internal Memory: Stores up to 10,000 time-stamped events (some models list 3,200) for later recall and data transfer via USB.
  • Integrated GPS & Bluetooth: Allows for printing evidential results in the field (via a portable Bluetooth printer) including exact GPS coordinates and timestamps.
  • Portability: Weighing approximately 600–655 grams, it is designed for ergonomic, one-handed operation in the field. 
 
Core Benefits:
  • Evidential Accuracy: Certified to international OIML R 126 and DOT standards, providing legal-grade evidence for roadside stops and court proceedings.
  • Long-Term Reliability: The IR sensor offers superior stability, requiring calibration only once per year and effectively eliminating “drifting” effects common in fuel-cell sensors.
  • Mouth Alcohol Detection: Automatically detects and displays error messages if residual mouth alcohol is present, preventing misleading results.
  • Extended Field Use: The built-in rechargeable NiMH battery supports up to 300 tests or 20 hours of operation per charge, and can be recharged via a standard 12V vehicle adapter.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Manufactured using 95% recyclable materials and utilizes biodegradable mouthpieces.
