Breath Alcohol Tester with Body Temperature ALC-608
ALC-608 alcohol screening terminal with fuel cell sensor, facial recognition and body temperature, 5 second response and 20000 stored test records.
Product Overview
What the ALC-608 Is For
The ALC-608 is a wall mounted alcohol screening terminal that combines breath alcohol testing, facial recognition, body temperature measurement, and access control. It uses a fuel cell sensor for ethanol-specific detection, ensuring results are not affected by mouth alcohol, tobacco smoke, or fuel vapour. The system runs on Android 7.1 with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage, enabling fast processing and secure data handling. It responds in 5 seconds from the start of a breath test and stores up to 20,000 test records and 10,000 registered faces. The unit is designed for fixed-site use with a 12V DC power input and supports multiple units of measurement including mg/L, g/100mL, and mg/mL.

The Case for Buying It
Problems It Solves

- Manual screening processes slow down shift starts and create inconsistent records
- Lack of identity verification allows one person to screen multiple times under different names
- No stored records make it impossible to prove compliance during an audit or dispute
- Fixed alarm thresholds do not match local legal limits across different markets
- No integration between alcohol testing and access control allows impaired individuals to enter

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| ALC-605 screening terminal | The ALC-608 includes facial recognition and body temperature measurement, while the ALC-605 only does breath alcohol and access control |
|---|---|
| ALC-213 handheld tester | The ALC-608 is fixed and mains powered for site entry use, while the ALC-213 is portable and battery powered for mobile gate checks |
| ALC-303 alcohol interlock | The ALC-608 allows access control based on alcohol and temperature, while the ALC-303 prevents engine start based on breath test alone |
| Consumer breath testers | The ALC-608 uses a fuel cell sensor with traceable calibration, unlike semiconductor testers that drift and cannot be recalibrated |
Running the Test
Use Guide
- Mount the unit on a wall at eye level at the site entrance
- Power on and allow the system to boot into Android 7.1
- Register each user’s face using the front camera and assign a test profile
- Set the alarm threshold to 0.02, 0.05, or 0.08 percent BAC based on local policy
- When a user approaches, the system captures their face and measures body temperature
- Prompt the user to blow into the breath inlet for 5 seconds or less
- The system displays the result and either grants or denies access based on thresholds
- Record the test and face data for audit purposes
- Ensure the system is recalibrated and tested monthly to maintain accuracy

FAQ
Questions About the ALC-608
Why does the ALC-608 use a fuel cell sensor instead of a semiconductor one?
A fuel cell sensor detects ethanol specifically and is not affected by acetone, tobacco smoke, or fuel vapour. Semiconductor sensors drift over time and cannot be recalibrated, making their results unreliable for compliance.
Can the alarm threshold be set to match our local legal limit?
Yes. The alarm threshold is configurable to 0.02, 0.05, or 0.08 percent BAC and is set at the service centre before shipment. Specify your market when ordering.
How many faces and test records can the ALC-608 store?
It stores up to 10,000 registered faces and 20,000 test records. This allows for long-term tracking across multiple sites.
Does the terminal measure body temperature?
Yes. It includes a non-contact infrared sensor to measure body temperature as part of the screening process.
How fast is the response time?
The system responds in 5 seconds from the start of the breath test, enabling fast throughput at site entrances.
Can it integrate with access control systems?
Yes. The ALC-608 controls access based on alcohol and temperature results. It can be connected to door locks or gates to block entry on a positive test.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
Both are confirmed per order because they depend on alarm point configuration, unit of measurement, and any branding. Send your quantity and destination market to [email protected] or by WhatsApp and we will confirm in writing.
